If anybody listens, and has the time to write a synopsis, I'm sure it would be appreciated by ZN members. :wave:

Even better: You can listen to it as a podcast: http://cleveland.cbslocal.com/2015/03/31/keith-dambrot-on-ncaa-shot-clock-its-inevitable-that-rule-is-going-to-change-its-going-to-be-a-30-second-shot-clock/

Here's the synopsis:

  • A lot of people are jealous of Calipari, but he's working within the rules.
  • Dambrot likes Bobby Hurley and what he's done at Buffalo.
  • Doesn't like the graduate transfer rule but thinks if a coach leaves a player should be able to leave, too.
  • It's important to spend time with your players off the court.
  • At the mid-major level you don't really have to deal with the seedy AAU stuff
  • LeBron, Lebron, Lebron
  • Inevitable that a 30-second shot clock will come to college basketball
  • NCAA scoring is at an all-time low
  • Defensively, Akron was as good as its ever been, but offensively we struggled
  • Doesn't like the media timeouts. NCAA will likely eliminate one timeout, maybe more.

I'd encourage anybody to listen for themselves.

Thank gawd, maybe we will change our offensive approach. The Zips should start preparing like it's a new rule next season.

Defensively, Akron was as good as its ever been, but offensively we struggled

I watched the Zips struggle offensively for too long. IMO the biggest myth in the last decade is that we are good defensively. I believe the staff works REALLY hard at trying to become a good defensive basketball team in practice, I just don't see the translation when it counts. Just one prime example...last play of the Ken+ game. That was not good defense when it counted.

I think the Zips are good defensively against most offensive looks, but one place where they fail miserably is defending in transition and against slashers.
