Nevil Shed a New York product sank a duo of free throws in 1966 to set basketball stage for one of sports biggest shockers, as basketball tiny Texas Western Minors lead by the legendary coach Don Haskins upset national powerhouse Kentucky under its leader Adolph Rupp. In 1966 the zone defense was a hybrid-somewhat visionary approach to the game, yet Rupp and his boys had set the bar for coaching basketball for years; this year deciding to show a 1-3-1 defense against the Minors. It is widely known the 1966 Minors were overrun by team speed and centered their philosophy on the principals of spacing and a backdoor attack.
Coach Mac is unquestionably removed from that historic night in Maryland, but understands and respects the genius visionaries like Rupp and Haskins brought to the game. In sports, ideas are often recycled and repackaged for sale within the target market all of the time. A glimpse into the hours of basketball practices and contests around the nation would release the underpinnings of Rupp's 1-3-1 zone defensive attack and surely lead us to championship programs that approached the game with Haskins speed and a fierce backdoor attack.
The sure brilliance of a hybrid approach to the game of basketball is more to fashion then to technique. A quick view of the 1966 championship contest would uncover a 4 man out motion attack with applicable replicas of simple patterns like those found when opening a simple Hershey's chocolate bar. The 'Sting Attack' approaches the game of 2009 with the same prophetic approach as Rupp's defensive approach in the final game. A 4 out motion basketball offense based on a hybrid version of traditional basketball values, the 'Sting Attack' provides today's leaders with the vision of 1966. While there is no guarantee of the luck needed to reach the championship game, a hybrid offensive attack can provide a revelation appreciated by America's greatest game, basketball.
