Message: [QUOTE="Deadrody, post: 2501385, member: 937"] This is just plain silly. I'm not even going to read this run on mess because, yeah, I watched ALL those teams. I watched them lose to Jackson State in the NIT in 1993. I was in Gampel when they blew the roof off the place beating Nebraska in the NIT in 1997. I stood in a bar in Oswego NY watching them lose to Miss State in 1996. I participated in many game threads while people complained that Ricky Moore or Taliek Brown just kept pounding the ball into the floor while the shot clock ran down. First of all, the key to any offense is guys that can make shots. Period. Remember when I posted the link to video of the blowout of #12 UVA in 1993 ? Yeah, any time the offense had to run a set in the half court, it was ugly. Except when a freshman, Ray Allen, made shot after shot. Guess what happened in 1996 ? The greatest three point shooter in the history of the NBA had a really bad day. And guess what else ? Despite the occasional half court offensive struggles, Calhoun's teams made up for that with effort, with defense, and by running the floor. And sometimes, the HOF coach adjusted. See, also, Rash Jones at power forward against the SU zone in the Big East tournament in 1998. You're just making a classic strawman argument. Not one person on earth is arguing that because Calhoun's half court offense was so good, why can't Ollie run any offense ? He must stink. But you go right ahead and bash that argument that nobody is making. [/QUOTE]
