Chris Harry's description of Gator basketball's new defensive principles. A New Defensive Mindset - Florida Gators
I can’t wait to see how they look on that end. With 5 returnees who played a lot of ball last year for us, we finally have some continuity on the offensive end. That alone gives us freedom to commit more time defensively. Add in all the new arrivals, and I think we are much better than Golden’s first year on defense. We have length up front, experience and versatility on the perimeter, and solid athleticism across the board.
lots of length, a bulldog in Martin, and (hopefully) a leftover bitter taste from the NCAA tournament last season...
Note that this article indicates that our new defensive mind set will include some zone defense, something Coach Golden has not used in his two previous years.
Right. We'll see how much of it we use. I personally hate it, but can be effective in certain stints, either to protect certain matchups or to throw off an offense.
