Message: [QUOTE="BostonCanuck, post: 2944096, member: 6931"] The Husky's motion or passing offence, as it's known, seemed to peak towards the end of the Stewie era. The departure of the talented big three, and the benefit of hindsight, revealed that offense to have become somewhat predictable and overused by the team. Good opponents were able to recognize repetitive patterns by studying video, then devise and deploy defensive countermeasures. And when they did that in two consecutive national semi-finals, the Huskies seemed panicked and unprepared, partly because none of the seniors during those years were naturals at creating off the dribble. Geno introduced some adjustments last season, but didn't have quite the right mix of players to complete the transition. Well that problem no longer exists, as CW (and others) emphatically proved last night! The team now has a larger toolkit of options to choose from for their half-court sets. Geno is still using the motion offense at times where it makes sense to do so. But now, when a defense gets too out in front with pass denial for example, our players can create and break down the defense with good dribble drive penetration that often result in relatively easy layups or pull-up j's. It's looking like the best of both worlds to me. [/QUOTE]
