"I think what Jeff Linder did at Northern Colorado was very impressive and they had their best campaign they have ever had," Pomeroy said. "Offensively his team last season shot the ball very well ranking in the top-30 in both two-point and three-point baskets and that is the sign of an offense that is difficult to defend. His offense last season ranked 45th in the nation and that will transfer over well to the Mountain West Conference."

It looks like Cowboy fans will see a lot of threes and a solid focus on the pick and roll game from Linder's teams, offensively. (And a lot of pick and pops, most likely?)

Pick and roll, pick and pop, have been a fundamental for a long time.

Pick and roll was popular for John Stockton and Karl Malone. One guy sets a pick, or screen for another driving the lane... When the defense shifts, the driver passes to the pick man for an easy dunk or lay up.

Pick and pop is same situation, but the screen man bounces out to the three point line to take a shot.

Larry shyatt ran a lot of this

Jeff's right-hand man promoted to head coach in Greeley. So, no seat on the Wyoming bench.

Pomeroy has a graduate degree in atmospheric science from Wyoming. And he lives in Salt Lake City.

Former CSU player Dorian Green was on Linder’s staff at UNC. I wonder if he will bring him along up here. It would be ironic to have the former sheep that torched us many times become an assistant coach here.

One last comment concerning Linder's tough perimeter defense. As an example, Wyoming averaged over 24 three-point shot attempts per game in '19-'20. In the 21-point home loss to UNC this season, Wyoming was held to only 11 three-point attempts by the Bears. Eleven. Another area that should/will improve immensely under Linder. :popcorn:
