Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 5063425, member: 3535"] What “set-up” can’t be derived from Centers, Forwards and Guards? Per all the links below they clearly define what the positions are on the basketball court. For example link # 4 defines what a Point-Forward is and goes in detail what a Point-Forward does. Can anyone say Paige doesn’t do these things described? And Link #1 defines what a Wing is. That’s what Paige is too. Why disregard these definitions when they fit Paige perfectly? [B]And why should we limit to her to only being a guard? This is another example of undervaluing what Paige is doing. She is playing the Forward position effortlessly while leading her team to Final Four. She is more than a guard. Her versatility should be recognized as such not limited to only a guard. We should be giving her credit for both. [/B] So we have all these definitions of what positions are. Then why not just say Geno allows his players to do a wide variety of things within these basic defined basketball positions that are already predefined?. Why should we fight the basic basketball positions as defined by the links below? ? When you say Geno runs 4 guards quite often sure but simultaneously this means he is running a Center, 2 Forwards, and 2 Guards in which 2 (or even all 3) of the guards are playing Forward positions. Unless you or others can state for example why Paige wasn’t a Forward based on the definitions that I’ve provided below other than someone’s say-so? Just as a team can run 2 pg’s – multiple positions—then any can be run simultaneously because many basketball players are versatile. Per below we can see that PG (Nika) fits, SG/SF/Wing fits KK and Ashlynn. And Paige fits the Forward (i.e. Point-Forward). These descriptions defined “in writing” detail what the positions are and we can see each player fits/. So, why invent something else? And in link 5 the author describes” playing small” by having a Small Forward play the 4. The 4 is a defined basketball position (ie.e a Forward). It’s not by accident that we have all these definitions of defined positions. Because even within the structure of even Geno’s Offense,., they all fit from the basic Center, Forward, Guard even going small as he has don because the players were versatile. And Paige is 6’0. Guideline for a Stretch 4 is starting at 6’0. Why fight all this if it already exists and UCONN players fit the definitions?
