Manny obviously isn't getting fired this offseason, so let's not even go there for now.
I think he has three options moving forward.
A) Hand over the defense to a different defense mind. I think this is highly unlikely because it's a repudiation of his whole career.
B) Scapegoat somebody (or not) and essentially come back with the same mindset. "We just need better players and better focus."
C) Tweak the scheme. A question for anybody who had the stomach to rewatch the UNC game: did we make any discernible adjustments in the second half? In one of his postgame pressers, Manny said they tried to adapt in order to counter what UNC was doing, but it didn't work because guys were emotionally exhausted and blah blah blah.
Did we change our alignment or anything in any meaningful way? I didn't notice while watching, but I was also laughing hysterically, so I don't know what the **** I saw.
Whether or not we did adjust, will Manny tweak stuff?
He wouldn't be the first coach who's had to adapt. It's essentially the evolution of every coach. They may have core tenets, but no scheme stays 100% the same over the course of a decade.
Which road will Manny take?
