Frankly Kim has been slacking with her offense.  She has been running the same dump it into the bigs offense since Griner.  Spread the floor, keep them honest with a few outside shots, get it inside.  She's lost since Griner for basically two reasons.

1) The defense effectively collapsed inside with 1 or 2 helpers and the outside shooters went cold.  Since they were mostly shooters and not able to create off the dribble, and the hi/lo couldn't work with the log jam inside, they lost.

2) The big was effectively neutralized by the opposing big and the team could concentrate on the perimeter. Otherwise, see above.

From what I've seen she has never run an offense using high post screens, pick and roll.  She's never run a guard oriented offense.  She's never run an offense using any variation off a Princeton offense.  She's never run an isolation offense using clear outs.  Next year then she's going to have go out of her comfort zone and use one of these.  I hope she bites the bullet and uses an option offense.  This kind of offense wins, but not immediately.  The others may get her to an FF (Maybe.  Probably just an E8) but they don't win championships.  We'll see.
