In one of Rueck's interviews this weekend he was asked about his calling the plays. He commented that he is backing off and letting the point guard make the call more often. That his calling them were interfering with the flow of the game and that sometimes it resulted in a turnover when the point guard was looking at him the defender would get a steal.
First time I've heard him say that.

First time I've heard him say that. Well, he would be right. Still saw it quite a bit against Utah. But I did notice that he didn't hold up the guard a few times when they were obviously trying to push the ball. |

That his calling them were interfering with the flow of the game and that sometimes it resulted in a turnover when the point guard was looking at him the defender would get a steal. First time I've heard him say that. Well, he would be right. Pretty obvious that it was often poor timing to do so against aggressive defensive teams. Well, what always irked me is if you are going to walk it up there is a way to call plays without speaking, signaling to the person doing the primary ball handling. Many teams, like on D, will sign to those already down court either facing the coach in first half, or near him in the 2nd. Those players then set and give a simple signal to the ballhandler who is looking down court anyway. It makes no sense to distract the ball handler with voice commands or signs, who then in some systems is expected to relay the info. Anyway... I'm sure he has realized this before and different opponents allow him to be more or less "involved". |
