It’s been a gag for years that he can’t coach, but this year (and last year) proves he can indeed coach.
Just from last night: they absolutely abused Timme on both sides. When Baylor had the ball, they ran ball screens to get him matched up on a guard, and the guards absolutely abused him. That was the game plan and it was perfect. They also swatted at him defensively and the quick hands forced so many turnovers. So many were saying Baylor couldn’t control Timme, but they exposed him on both ends.
Baylor was slowed by the zone for a short while, then you noticed Teague hit the soft spot as the teams best mid range threat and was lethal in that spot. Once Drew made that adjustment it was done.
Baylor took care of the ball to limit the strength of Gonzaga running up the floor. They limited turnovers. Gonzaga on the other hand were harassed by the physicality and speed of Baylor and turned it over at a much higher than average clip. Also Baylor crashed the offensive boards and had 18 more shot attempts because of rebounding and turnovers.
No McDonalds all Americans. Less big time recruits. Just a coaching masterpiece and a natty for Scott Drew.
