Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2499699, member: 488"] You can run a ball screen from the moon if you want, it doesn't matter when your players can't score. The action Calhoun ran for Kemba and Lamb in the 2011 tournament is exactly the same thing Ollie is trying to incorporate now. Just go back and watch the tape. There are plenty of double screens and circle sets in KO's offense. Every time I click on one of tcf's uploads I am surprised by how much is going on offensively because it does seem like, while watching it live, that nothing is happening. You can criticize literally every other aspect of KO's coaching before you get to the validity of the actual sets he's running. Nobody becomes a division one coach without having some handle on basketball philosophy. If you want to say it doesn't work, fine, if you want to say it's never worked or that it doesn't incorporate the same fundamental reads that every other offense does, I don't know what to tell you. The idea that Ollie is actively teaching his players to avoid ball movement, cutting, and screening just doesn't add up. [/QUOTE]
