K-St in-bounds play

[PollCat99]

Since Pitt has such a hard time getting a clean inbounds from under the basket, why not try the K-St technique?
5 guys stand out of bounds. Ref hands the ball to one of them. The other 4 jump inbounds. Worked every time.

It's innovative.

I give it 2 years before everybody figures out the best way to stop it.

Great inbounds play by Jerome Tang. I’m pulling for K-State. Good coach, better person (at least from what I’ve seen).

Baylor has been using this for awhile. Tang was an assistant at Baylor prior to K. State.

It's interesting. Can't recall who the announcers were for that game but they acted like there are several teams using it but I've never seen it before. I've seen coaches use 2 players but never all 5.

Yes, Tang also stated that Baylor got it from someplace else when he was at Baylor.

My family and I were on Grand Cayman over Thanksgiving and we happened ot be staying at the same resort that the KSU team and fans were staying at for the Cayman Classic tournament. Really nice bunch of kids and people. There was one really friendly, upbeat guy wearing KSU gear all the time who was casually mingling with everyone, making people laugh, smiling a ton, etc. I'm seeing this guy all over the place for like 3-4 days, like everywhere I turn. Turns out it was Jerome Tang, who I had never seen or even heard of before that week. Seemed like a really good guy, and clearly very well liked by KSU nation. Pretty big shoes to fill after Bruce Weber, but he's off to an impressive start.

I would add that LSU, Western Kentucky, Akron and their fans were also staying at the place, and fit really was a good bunch of kids and people. I also got to see what 7'5, 210 pounds looks like up close and personal. This guy's physique made the Diaz twins look like a couple of offensive tackles.

Or standing further away from the base line, like out near mid court. Gives players much more room to get free. Why crowd 4 guys 5 feet from the base line so there is no room for anyone to get free.

That's a great story! Very similar to the interaction I had with him; got the chance to meet him when they played Nebraska in Kansas City back in November. VERY upbeat; easy to understand how it transcends to the rest of the team. Makes you wonder how he's just now becoming a head coach because he seems like the real deal.
