Notes on the championship:
- Cutting almost everyone after my first season and loading up on a 7 man recruiting class (one juco) paid huge dividends but will probably make me a one and done next NT (assuming I can find a way in).
- I consistently put only 6-9 minutes of practice time in each starting set and I changed from zone to press a couple seasons ago. Only one guy was a B+ in defense.
- game planning doesn't seem super important if your team is good. For the entire NT, I glanced at the opponent's roster to see if they had any huge weaknesses (none other than the 16 seed SimAI team did) and just moved my defense to either -2, -1, 0, +1, or +2 depending on their outside shooting. Never changed tempo from normal.
- I got lucky. I definitely should have lost my second round game to Trentonjoe's New York U team.
