Jay Wright, best coach in the country....

Yep. May be time to move it to the off topic forum. It would be there now if this was not the off season. lol

Which is sad that a poster decided that he was going to challenge the analogy to Lincoln Riley's offense, because for some unknown reason he doesn't think that offense is cutting edge and innovative.


Wright and Riley both use their personnel to maximize optionality, which puts the defense in an impossible position. Every guard and wing who plays for Nova can both shoot and drive. The bigs can play inside and out. They don't take bad, low percentage shots. Everything is high value.

Riley's offense is the same. Everyone that gets snaps on offense is versatile. Defenders have to prepare for a ridiculously large amount of possibilities, maximizing the chances of busted plays and huge gains.

I do like the analogy...I think it's fair. Minus the griping and complaining.

To hijack a Barry Switzer quote, Jay Wright drives past more recruits on his way to campus than Norman has in a thousand miles.

Well, I’ll disagree. If he lives on the very edge of Philly he might drive by half of Philly on his way in and it has about 3 million in the metro area so he drives by a half a million people, Oklahoma has 3.5 million just in our state. And DFW is 2 1/2 hours from Norman and it has 6 million people in it.

I know what you were saying in jest but not 100% accurate and no one before him has recruited that well there so right off the bat you have to give him credit for getting it and I don’t know their roster and where they are from.

Jay Wright, from recruiting to keeping them in school to game management and many other areas, has show to be the best in the last 5+ years in the country. He doesn’t have all the advantages the Calaperi has at Kentucky or Self or Roy or Coach K or any of the blue bloods. He has created his own recent blue blood.
