I would say defense is about discipline. Trying hard when you're exhausted is how you get exploited by patient, methodical offenses. Toughness is about being unfazed by an aggressive opponent and maintaining discipline. Toughness is the opposite of energy, intensity, and effort. It's the antidote.

All it takes is one kid to buy in. Or one run. It’s really hard and it takes years, you don’t turn into it over night but it can happen anywhere. The schools that you think of as powerhouses didn’t start that way

I’d say Bama fans feel good about the Oats hire I’d say ark fans good about the musselman hire I’d say UCLA fans feel good about mick hire But reading multiple message boards, there is more than just a few voices of resistance who are unhappy so far with Brannen. I’m not expecting championships in year 2 but I am expecting a direction and progression. And I’ve not seen much. But I go by what I see. If UC comes out and gets a road sweep this week, I’ll be ecstatic. Because the team will have grown & gotten better. But right this Team and coach are lost until found |

Like us, zags, Dayton, WSU and now Houston We were already on our way. Now brannen is seemingly losing all momentum. When you lose in the AAC they will put more and more of your games on ESPN+ He needs to Carry the torch not let it go out and try to relight it |

The list of top non-power schools isn't all that long. For simplicity, here's the top 50 teams on Torvik from last year:
Gonzaga, Dayton, San Diego St, Houston, BYU, Wichita St, Utah St, St Marys, Richmond, Cincinnati, St Louis There's a wide variety of styles in there. Gonzaga, Dayton, and BYU had top 10 offenses (St Marys was 14th). Houston and Wichita St had top 20 defenses (St Louis was 35th). San Diego St and St Marys were two of the slowest tempos in the country. Gonzaga, BYU, and Wichita St had high tempos. Houston and St Louis were two of the best offensive rebounding teams in the country, BYU and Richmond were two of the worst. Gonzaga, Utah St, and St Marys were some of the best defensive rebounding teams in the country, Cincinnati was one of the worst. Cincinnati and Wichita St had a top 15 2pt defense, St Marys and Richmond were outside the top 100 (Gonzaga was 88th). |

No one claimed one of those things. Not one. Find me one be where somebody says it’s all micks fault, this team is humming, 2021 will be a top 10 class, defense looks great, or anyone that says Vogt is good.

You're talking about so many things that no one can make any sense of it, and very little of it is actually about UC.
