Air Force Academy Takes 5 Giant Steps Backwards, Hires Bzdelik To Coach Basketball - The Orange Mane

RhymesayersDU · 05-18-2005, 03:16 PM

Yeah, saw this today on ESPN.com. Don't feel like going back to and finding a link, but the AFA hired former Nuggets coach Jeff Bzdelik to take over the men's team and run the Princeton offense down south in Colorado Springs.

So yeah, good to know we officially have a doormat for the Mountain West Division.

Maybe the college kids won't blatantly underachieve and get him fired like the Nuggets did.

RhymesayersDU · 05-18-2005, 03:40 PM

Bzdelik should have been fired last offseason anyways.

Bzdelik is gonna do really well at AFA. He's perfect for the college game, especially with military kids.

Honestly, considering how well the Princeton system works for small schools, I might have to agree. But, can he be a good enough coach to impliment it to succeed in the MWC? Its not like there are a lot of pushover schools that have bad defenses in that conference.

It might be a year or two before we really see any type of success with that scheme. But then again, considering how many years it took just to get a winning program there anyway, I say, why not?

Good for Buz, good for the AFA.

I think Bz is gonna do great, especially with disciplined kids like the ones he'll be coaching at Air Force.

All the best to him and the AFA.
