About his efficient, but deliberate pace on offense and he had this to say. Sounds like there's flexibility built in for sure.

"Some of it is personnel and some of it was regardless of what anyone else may have thought we wanted to win a national championship at North Texas, and we wanted to win games in March. And with that we kind of decided to build it with the end in mind and play that way the whole time. We always scheduled really good, and the truth was when we were at North Texas if we were going to get on a neutral floor with Kansas or Auburn, we probably are not going to want to run up and down with those guys. You’re going to want to give yourself an opportunity. Again, if you look at any of our all-league players, all-league guards if they’re open it’s not like you’re telling them don’t shoot it, but you didn’t want to take like that mid-period of contested shots just for the sake of playing with tempo and pace."
