So what is Hubert's system?

[al would]

Whatever HD's half court set is .. it is easily predictable to opposing coaches.. If we don't score in the first 5 seconds of crossing half court.. we run the same set play...

During the NCAAT I watched more NCAA mbb of other teams than I have all season and here are a few take away's just from what observed.

1) at no time did I see that stupid 4 out offensive garbage UNC seemingly attempted even though there were a lot of teams that had the players to pull it off.

2) there were some really good games and of the ones I saw there was little hesitation on offensive/defensive sets and for the most part the defensive fundamentals were solid, players moved their feet, had active hands, either switched or rotated when they should have and if there was a loose ball there were toes, knees, elbows and hands flying and grabbing or hitting the floor with urgency on every possession. Something UNC was sorely missing all season.

3) the main thing I saw was guys busting their asses to scrap, grab, scratch, claw and muscle for any advantage they could get and that was the one thing I seldom saw from this years UNC group and probably the one thing that pissed me off the most about the entire season. The 2024-25 UNC season will go down as the season of "nobody cared" ... from the freaking top down and all points in between. On you hubcap.

HD's philosophy on offense is simple. He wants to push in transition, and also wants his players ALL positions shooting open 3's.

HD shines in NCAA tournament two years ago because he had Caleb and RJ catch 🔥. Bacot held down the rebounding and was talented enough also to get you some points. Manek although not a powerful big, was tall enough he was at least a distraction down low and offensively he did what I personally believe HD wants. A BIG THAT can shoot.

Defensively im clueless what HD wants. I think he wants to out score his opponents and he is happy.

I cannot tell you what Hubert system is all I can tell you is that it does not involve getting the bigs the ball in the post!

There is no system.
There is no plan.
Hubert played at UNC, he played in the NBA, he covered the game on TV, and he sat on the bench next to Roy… but with all that he still can’t COACH!

Some people just don’t have it…. Not every musician is a conductor, not every office worker is a manager, not every labourer is a foreman…. And not every former player is a coach.

.

There were plenty of 5 out sets run during the tournament. The horns set is a set that every team has a set play off of and that set intentionally clears the lane.

Florida




Duke


Houston


UConn


New Mexico


Alabama


Missouri


SIUE



And this isn’t 5 out but Tennessee runs UNC’s Spain action which we haven’t seen from UNC is quite some time it feels.
