Interesting comment from Mitch...
Henderson, though, has grown the program in the era of an Ivy League Tournament and the game has evolved to the point where there is no more Princeton offense in Princeton’s offense. There was not a single backdoor cut -- a staple in Carril’s heyday and the spark that punctuated Princeton’s famed upset over UCLA in 1996 -- in last week’s wins.
Henderson has picked the basketball minds of national championship-winning coaches such as Jay Wright and Tony Bennett and said he realized “sustained winning over time is on the defensive end.”
At the same time, to achieve even greater success, it would be nice to have an offense that was just average/middling in efficiency (uncanny, the similarities btwn the BB and FB programs) to go along with the top-notch D.
Btw, was in Indy to see Mitch upset the Bruins...
