Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2745687, member: 488"] Motion is important. The fact that the staff has emphasized it is encouraging because stagnancy was the primary undoing of our design in recent years (even in 2014 when it worked, there was a lot of dribbling) on both sides of the floor. I never doubted Ollie's basketball acument. I did doubt his ability to implement a culture of spontaneous, contagious player movement. Our players lacked fundamental improvisational skills in comparison to teams that had their way with us, SMU perhaps being the best example. While I liked the sets Ollie did draw up, this is the sort of instructional - move ball, move self - that prepares players to sustain high level play. [/QUOTE]
