Why coach David Beaty is taking over KU’s play-calling, despite the obvious risks

David Beaty is done talking about the decision.

During his team’s media day in early August, the second-year Kansas coach became frustrated after hearing another question about him taking over play-calling duties, letting out a groan before shaking his head to the side.

“Guys, this is being done all over the country,” Beaty said. “There is no new responsibility. It’s the same thing I’ve been doing for years. I mean, there’s nothing to that.”

Whether Beaty wants to admit it or not, his takeover of the offense is likely to be one of KU’s biggest storylines in 2016.
