Message: [QUOTE="Undercovervol, post: 3142901, member: 8552"] In regards to the offensive points, I guess it depends on how you view the weave and how much he chose to run it, particularly in big games. I still think that while the weave might manufacture a good number of points, it doesn't necessarily make it a good offensive system. How much effort is it taking to get those points, when another system could get more points more efficiently? That brings in Notre Dame. Notre Dame's offense was far superior to State's offense this year. Why? Look at their assist numbers. They were actually able to pass the ball and create offense, rather than force it. So I guess I disagree that it's good offense. I know that McCowan improved over time...that doesn't mean that she improved to the point of having a post game as good as Britney Griner's game, for example. She's still miles behind her in terms of fluidity, offensive moves, jump shooting, finishing through contact...McCowan's best weapon was offensive rebounding. That doesn't require finesse, but it does require strength. A player like Griner has both skills. In regards to AEH, she rarely had more than 10 shot attempts in games where she was averaging over 50% from three. I'm just saying that Vic wasn't looking for her as much as he could, and he would take her out because of defense. I'm just weary of old school mentalities because of Warlick. My point about UConn was that if Vic were given Geno's players, I don't think he would know how to utilize them as well as Geno. I think he would struggle to find roles that best utilize the skills of Samuelson and Walker, for example. [/QUOTE]
