Years ago Bobby Knight was asked if he had any advice for Steve Alford as UCLA Coach. He said get a notebook and listen, “D-E-F . . .” to spellout defense. I think Bill Walton might say to UCLA Bruins Interim Coach Murry Bartow to write in his notebook “A-S-S-I-S-T.” UCLA does not pass. Tonight, in a 104-80 loss at Stanford they did neither.
In fairness, sometimes Jaylen Hands plays like a point, but, otherwise, UCLA is made up of guys who only pass when they get trapped. When Moses Brown, Kris Wilkes, Prince Ali, and Jules Bernard get the ball, you know they are going to shoot.
