Wisconsin has a very disciplined style. Bo tolerates no show-boating. Is there a racial aspect as to which players enjoy a disciplined team style as opposed to a more freewheeling style? Interesting topic, but verboten in today’s overly PC dominated zeitgeist.
It’s culture more than race. I’m a Michigan State fan, and it takes certain types of people to buy into Izzo’s style. Denzel Valentine and Bryn Forbes are almost brothers. Valentine’s dad (ex-Spartan) is a high school coach. Travis Trice’s dad is a high school coach. Izzo likes to recruit coach’s kids, football players, blue collar players, and all around tough guys. There isn’t a lot of playground ball there either, but MSU is definitely not known as a white basketball schools. It is however very Midwestern, and doesn’t get many east coast players.
