Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4147389, member: 1414"] I’m no expert at all. Just watched it in slow mo over and over. Trying to see if Fran is right and it’s designed or maybe not. Can’t tell. Polley cuts up from the corner and Martin shifts down, they more or less switch spots. That starts when Whaley first dribbles to the top, and continues as he reverses. What I think I see is that Whaley is then looking to pass to Cole outside the 3 point line. Cole is tightly guarded but sees that Martin has drawn the interior D away from the paint. The nearest defender is loosely guarding Jackson in the Cole side corner. So Cole cuts behind his man, and Whaley makes a nice pass. The only part that looks designed is that Whaley gets space to pass with his reversal. But really, there was no place for him to go with the ball on the other side, and we don’t really want him running the offense, so it’s possible he pivots to get it back to our lead guard. In any event, it doesn’t matter to me. Polley makes an aggressive off ball cut through the paint, and then back outside. Jackson aggressively cuts laterally across the lane. Martin moves down to Jackson’s prior corner as Polley cuts up. It’s very good off the ball motion. When our offense is stangnant, we don’t see that. We see guys standing in spots hoping the ball comes. It’s good offense. [/QUOTE]
