Bruce Plays Defense

[surly]

I believe the premise of your question is silly. Weber operates within the framework and rules of the game. He has very few technical fouls on his record. And I don't remember him ever interfering with play. Good coaches typically are engaged in the process. I gave you three other examples.

I still have no clue what the question is, guys?

97 - Selton Miguel - 4*
123 - Nigel Pack - 4*
135 - Davion Bradford - 4*
148 - Luke Kasubke - 3*

Solid developmental class for Weber. Hopefully he gets time to let them be impact guys in 21-22.

Being engaged in the process doesn't require being regularly on the playing surface often 4-8 feet out onto the playing surface even when the play is happening on the same end of the court.

I have never seen Bruce Weber 8' onto the playing surface during play, never, and I'm a long-time season ticket holder.

But you have seen 4' right?

I will give him this, it doesn't appear that he is generally out as far onto the floor these days as he was when he started at KSU.

Bench decorum should be addressed by the rules committee. But I doubt anything happens because some people feel this is a central and important quality of the game.

I have no problem with what Bruce does. He is demonstrative - directing and encouraging his players - but not derogatory or out of control (see Fran McCaffery). I only have a problem when he comes out on the floor to do it. But I have not seen him do it in a recent game. I do think that over coaching your team can be detrimental - when you feel the need to constantly direct players where to be and what to do on the floor - but it is his team; he can do what he likes. Maybe his teams need that.

Kansas State Coach Bruce Weber overstepped his boundary, as he often does, during his team’s win over Kentucky Thursday night. “I have had officials tell me that it was expanded for me,” Weber said of the bigger coach’s box this season.Credit...Adam Hagy/USA Today Sports, via Reuters

That does not look to me like four or eight feet on the court. I fact, he's in the coaching box. If a player has one foot inside the basketball goal arch, it's called a block rather than a charge.

Quit looking at the picture and read the quote in the caption. And stop being so defensive.
