Why some coaches keep it slow

USA head coach Matthew Graves:

Before last season you wanted to play faster - did we accomplish that and how will that style be adjusted this season?Statistically, we were the 21st-fasted team in the country, so we certainly checked the box on that. To be quite honest, it was probably a little too fast because our turnover percentage was really high. We still want to be a top 50-75 team with the pace of play because it fits our personnel really well, but it goes back to taking care of the basketball. We still plan on playing just as fast, just a little smarter with the ball.

It is just a fact, that so much of the time fast equals sloppy.
