Message: [QUOTE="6NCsMORE2Go, post: 3422803, member: 110"] The offense that UCONN is currently running is not awful. Misdirections, handoffs, reversing the basketball, setting screens, cutting through...everything you'd expect basketball players to run. The thing you have to consider is that every player has to make a read. The sets are meant to move the ball and shift the defense to get an advantage. UCONN has gotten plenty of good looks in their current motion offense but we just don't have enough quality shot makers yet. Once Akok gets stronger and more confidence, his pick and pops are going to be called great offensive sets. If Carlton would roll with a force and get off the ground more than 1 inch, we'd say great call. At the end of the game, players make the plays. Coaches just have to put them in a position to PLAY THE GAME. Teaching sets is not the thing that would ignite our offense. Sets are easily defended by the average coach. Motion, instincts, and IQ is what is needed for this team to flourish. When it mattered, Hurley has drawn up some amazing plays to set up the Huskies for success. Make or miss, sometimes it's just not on the coach. I just don't understand why people are saying there is no offense being run. Not every play can be a drawn up as a quick hitter. Not sustainable if that is all UCONN did. [/QUOTE]
