BYU coach Kalani Sitake has officially grown tired of the constant questioning of his defensive coaching staff’s schemes and game plans.
After that staff made the right adjustments at halftime and limited Virginia to just seven second-half points in the Cougars’ 66-49 win over Virginia on Saturday night, Sitake reacted rather sternly — by his standards — to a question about Cougars dropping eight defenders and rushing only three.
“Drop eight won the game for us,” Sitake said. “And that was Ilaisa Tuiaki’s idea. That’s wasn’t really the game plan. … We dropped eight in the second half and held a really explosive offense to seven points. I think people need to respect him a little bit more now.”
