Kermit Davis is the new head basketball coach at Ole Miss, and he brings a very different system with him to Oxford than Andy Kennedy’s run-and-shoot philosophy.
If you disliked AK’s “street ball” (which wasn’t really street ball) and a 2-3 zone with a proclivity to give up open threes from the top of the key or anywhere else really, you’ll probably like Kermit’s system.
We aren’t likely to see any Marshall Hendersons or Stefan Moodys coming through under Davis—but maybe that’s a good thing?
Davis’ teams work best when playing disciplined basketball, exploiting the paint, and slashing to the basket.
