[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131196722, member: 1812660"] I wouldn't take Beilien over Huggins, but would take Beilein over a majority of coaches out there. They both seemed to suffer from a flaw in that they felt certain parts of the game could be ignored or given far less attention and still result in competitive teams. Beilein didn't even allow strength training at WVU and seemed to think rebounding and defense were not nearly as important as his motion offense and shooting. Huggs is on the opposite end where shooting and half court offense are far down the list compared to defense and rebounding. I don't think you have to sacrifice from one for the sake of the other, but rather it may be possible to add to one side while keeping the level of play at the other side the same. I prefer Huggins focus on defense and rebounding as opposed to Beilein, but wouldn't mind seeing him at least try to do something different with the consistently poor half court offense WVU has had for most of the last decade. And there is something to be said about how shooters like Taz and McNeil seem to be fairing worse under Huggins. I understand this is a big step up in terms of competition and that plays a role even possible the largest role. But just like the difference in results between the same offensive players being employed by Holgorsen vs Mullen on the football side, coaching/gameplan can work against a player's strengths. Now I hate the idea of trying to sacrifice defense/rebounding for offense which is why I wasn't disappointed to see Eron Harris or Henderson leave the program. However, it is not crazy to think that with the last 10 years of offensive struggles that at least tweaking the approach to that end of the court wouldn't be a bad idea.
