Texas, Shaka Smart aiming to effectively implement up-tempo offense

Three seasons have came and went since Shaka Smart was called upon to serve as Rick Barnes’ successor, yet the Havoc style that largely led to Smart emerging as one of the most coveted coaches in the country is yet to find its way to the Forty Acres. Initially, this was to be expected, as Smart took control of a roster constructed almost entirely of players fit for Barnes’ style, which contrasts quite considerably from the scheme and style Smart was known to employ.

Consequently, Havoc hasn’t arrived, nor has anything closely replicable to it and thus, the results have been underwhelming, to say the least.
