Most college teams are weak on offensive boards. Soon as shot is released. Other 4 players immediately drop back on defense. Personally I don't like it. I like for 2 guards release and get back on defense, then 3 players crash the boards. Also, by doing this, you can pressure inbound play if shot is good, and maybe steal ball
Unstubstantiated, but stated as a fact in typical bc fashion. How much emphasis is placed on offensive rebounding varies greatly from team to team depending on their system and the coach's philosophy. McKay, Bennett and other coaches who build their team around the pack line defense, want their opponents to have to face that D with their half court offense on every possession. A premium is placed on NOT allowing fast breaks, and when you crash the boards with 3 or more players, you open yourself up to that.

It's worked out fairly well for both Liberty and UVA just won a national championship with it, but I'm sure you believe they'd both be better doing things your way.
UVA would have won 2 NCAA BB championships last year if they’d done it his way :roll:

Now if he could actually cite teams that run a system he advocates that would be intriguing. I actually know a handful of teams who do it that way. But I’m not a fraudcoach

Ballcoach hates UVa so much that he will never give Tony Bennett any credit for earning a National Championship.

Bennett is a good man, I just don't like his team.

"His team" consists of him, coaches and staff he hired and players he recruited. I defy you to name one thing that any of them have ever done or said that would give you reason not to like them.

You sound as if you not believe me.
Oh I totally believe you. I’m sure you ran try outs and off season workouts and team camps and strung a bunch of seasons together. :roll:

Don't expect a lot of credibility when you apparently can't type the word "do".
