A defensive star rises: [The Yaklich Story]<\/p>\n
Sometimes it\u2019s kinda cool to see \u201cone of your own\u201d go all the way to the top.<\/p>\n
This is one of those stories.<\/p>\n
Many of you know the tale of Luke Yaklich.<\/p>\n
Seven or eight years ago, he was a high school teacher\u2026like so many of us.<\/p>\n
But by mastering one particular skill set, he clawed his way up to Michigan Basketball.<\/p>\n
Then the winds of fortune blew\u2026<\/p>\n
Pieces shuffled on the collegiate and NBA chessboard\u2026<\/p>\n
John Beilein makes the jump to the Cleveland Cavaliers (still inexplicable to me, but whatever).<\/p>\n
Coach Yaklich takes this opportunity to jump over to work with Shaka Smart at Texas. \u201cAssociate Head Coach\u201d is the official title\u2026<\/p>\n
How quickly things change\u2026<\/p>\n
Anyway, it\u2019s pretty plain to see the incredible job he did \u2013 in just two short years \u2013 running the defense for Michigan.<\/p>\n
In his own words\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that\u2019s where it starts with me,\u201d Yaklich said this week. \u201cI love defense and I let that show. I\u2019m able to be myself and so that passion I have for defense, I\u2019m able to exhibit that and be myself every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Opportunity seized.<\/p>\n
Clearly, he\u2019s one of the rising stars of collegiate coaching.<\/p>\n
So, I thought it would make sense to document the rise\u2026<\/p>\n
So here it is.<\/p>\n
The complete Michigan Defensive Playbook \u2013 Luke Yaklich-style!<\/p>\n
Make no mistake, there\u2019s a lesson to be learned here\u2026<\/p>\n
Coach Yaklich rode a single focused passion to the top of the game.<\/p>\n
And we\u2019ve put together 80+ pages of his finest work (yes, we scouted both Michigan seasons) into one playbook for you.<\/p>\n
This is something you\u2019re going to want to study front to back, trust me on this.<\/p>\n
