Message: [QUOTE="SCGamecock, post: 2089524, member: 6132"] I'm honestly confused by this statement. According to some posters here, all SC does is dump it down into the post players, and in their eyes we have an antiquated offense because of this style of play. But you're saying SC is disinterested in pushing the ball to the post. Which is it? Head bang In all honesty, our post players get touches and demand the ball often. Even when they're not shooting they are getting the ball inside and kicking the ball back out (something we've gotten A LOT better at, Coates and Wilson used to be black holes).. it's important to keep teams honest, and teams know that SC's bread and butter is getting the ball to our 6'4 low post center and 6'5 high post power forward, so our offense is designed to get post touches and ball reversals to the inside, even if it doesn't result in a post score. Every team in America knows this and they prepare for us by scheming to take our bread and butter away.. some teams are more successful at it than others. UConn is one of those teams that's usually really good at taking away your first option, and second, and sometimes third.... so if you're only watching SC when we play UConn and making the assumption that SC never gets the ball inside because we struggle to do it during that particular game then you'd be incorrect in making said assumption.
