Message: [QUOTE="Stymie, post: 4386194, member: 11176"] Please let me suggest: a great deal of the time (not withstanding Dorka’s injury), in UCONN’s offensive scheme, often a big is positioned far from the boards- to the top of the key ( dealing the ball/screening) or to the elbow (screening/looking for or taking a shot). This tends to eliminate them from put-back opportunities or rebounds by an opponent that has already staked out a position closer in. I’m not arguing, but I’m sure Coach knows this and it a situation he is willing to allow to occur as a result of his offensive approach. There is a saying that “ when someone only has a hammer, everything is a nail”. I think that with so many tools now in his toolbox, Coach can offer a variety of looks- same motion offense- hard inside, or ( my preferred) a combination of both. The more looks UCONN can present, the more difficult they will be to prepare for. [/QUOTE]
