Fantastic! Definitely a dream come true to have that level of insight into the team's inner workings. We knew Woody was primarily a defensive coach, but how interesting is it that he spent absolutely NO TIME OF OFFENSE! It's not like he doesn't know how to draw up plays or teach them how to run an offense. He focuses so much on D that it makes me wonder how much better an offensive team we could be if he did. And maybe Lang's brief look at this team caught them at a time when D needed to be emphasized more. Could it be that after going for such a long stretch without scoring against DAL, Woody spent the next practice on offense?

This article just makes me hungry for more. A two game stint is just not enough to really get a feel. I want a 5 or 10 game stretch so that I can see more of the grind and more of the process coaches and players go through. I certainly hope Lang can get back in for the playoffs.
