Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3388571, member: 833"] There is a 30 second shot clock. It takes 5-7 seconds just to get the ball up the court. If Bouk is bringing the ball up, the entire defense is looking at him. Since it is easier to get open away from the ball than with it, for Bouk to get open, he would have to give up the ball, then get it back. This could take 8-10 seconds. Look how much trouble UConn is having running this with Carlton and Gilbert. This could leave UConn with 15 or less seconds to get Bouk a look before someone has to jack up a shot. 15 seconds is not a long time to play defense. Making Bouk the point will make him less effective as a scorer. Bouk will be better if he is off the ball. [/QUOTE]
