How an NBA GM inspired the All Blacks lethal counter attack
Could legendary NBA coach Gregg Popovich have influenced the All Blacks' counter-strategy? What the San Antonio Spurs taught the All Blacks that revolutionised transition plays.

@tim good read. Thanks for posting.
Once I got past the statement that Moonhead was the 'Godfather' of this concept (which was rather strange as the writer then said 'we will never know if he was') the explanation of what the ABs do and Wayne Smith's thinking was great.

Thing is NZ have always played a counter attacking style of game, and as the game evolves things are improved, and since professionalism AB coaches have not been afraid to look at other sports for an edge or way to innovate and stay ahead of the chasing pack.
While trying to give credit to Mitchell for reinventing our attacking game, we must remember he also gave us un-contested lineouts and less rucking.

Not like we couldn’t score great counter attacking tries pre 2000
