Under the direction of Bobby Hurley, Arizona State men’s basketball has taken on the moniker of ‘Guard U’ with an emphasis on coaching guards to play with freedom and intensity.
The Bobby Hurley style of guard is one that incessantly attacks the defense. He can run sets, but mostly he is called upon to use his own initiative to run the offense. He will slash and cut, kick out to open shooters, or dump off to a big man on the low block. He will play like Remy Martin, Marreon Jackson, and Alonzo Verge Jr. have played under Hurley.
