Asked by a non-coach. In watching the Tournament this year and seeing different offensive schemes and talented players-am interested in the opinions of coaches re: the following question:
At the beginning of a season-- Does a coach install a primary offensive scheme that they expect their players to adapt to and adjust to throughout the season --PT being a function of the players ability to be efficient in that scheme.
Or do coaches have the flexibility to adjust to the talents of their players and deviate from their preferred offensive scheme to accommodate the talents of their players as they develop and improve over the course of the season?
I understand that matchups/defensive strategy of the opponents /foul trouble/injuries play into the calculus of an effective offense.
Curious how coaches have dealt with this challenge over their careers-Scheme over players or flexibility based on talented players over scheme.
