Isn't it very revealing that we are discussing a #1 pick, a point guard, who has not shown a consistent method of running the fast break?  What the hell are college coaches doing?  Is the nickname still the Runnin Rebels?

At the very least, unless the player went to a team like Princeton which used to slow it down to crawl, one would think every point guard in the nation is being taught how to properly run the fast break.  No?

Or are the coaches more concerned with getting wins by any means necessary in order to keep their jobs?

I don't believe dribbling out of the press is the way to go. It takes too
much time (clock) and energy expelled which is really what the opposition is
trying to do. Wear down the guards. The team however has to be involved in
the concept helping out. Quick 10-20 foot passes are quicker and less
demanding than all that Globe Trotter dribbling...With his speed 1 outlet
pass then getting the ball back again would discourage a team from
constantly harassing the ball...
