Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 2437331, member: 37"] This. His offensive system is incredibly frustrating to watch. Maybe it's because we've watched it run to the point of futility without adjustments. I can appreciate his vision, but the lack of adjustments and a back of plan is concerning. It doesn't help that we haven't had the proper personnel to execute his vision, but he should at least have an idea of what kind of adjustment the opposing team is going to make at half time and be ready to counter that. I have to wonder if they hold back certain parts of the playbook until the team can show that they've got a handle on the earlier chapters.[/QUOTE] That would be my take. JC divided the season into thirds. No matter how experienced his teams were he always insisted on developing defense first. It was his trademark. He knew teams could go cold on offense. Defense, particularly great defense, was far more predictable to be consistent. With his more experienced teams he’d implement various offensive sets in the first third. Less experienced teams the process started second third. Initially he kept offense sets simple. KO is following JC’s playbook imo. The strength and experience resides with the guards. As other players develop (hopefully) the coaches will implement other options. [/QUOTE]
