Chris Beard is a basketball wizard. He is an incredible recruiter, but also knows how to coach lower rated recruits into All-American players. His no-middle defense and Bobby Knight inspired motion offense have taken the NCAA by storm, inspiring many copycats (*cough cough* Baylor) and imitators. No matter how many programs try to copy Beard, there can only be one, and thank goodness he is at Texas Tech. One of the most interesting parts about Chris Beard’s coaching strategy is his rotations.
When I first started watching Texas Tech basketball, I was extremely confused by some of Beard’s decisions.
