Message: [QUOTE="Hurleyman216, post: 3821722, member: 3517"] You guys should all watch a little more college bball. About half the teams run some version of the weave a large percentage of time if the other team is playing man-to-man defense. It puts the defense in a position where they have to constantly switch, it allows a drive to the hoop to start with a full head of steam rather than from a standstill (I don’t know if there’s a single person in the country who can check Bouknight in this scenario). It also can set you up for side screens or back door cuts. It’s essentially like 1 non-stop pick and roll and you run it rather than standing around doing nothing because it makes the defense work and creates space for a 3 pointer on the handoff if they don’t hedge out. Oh yeah, it’s also what the Golden State Warriors ran quit a bit while winning all of their championships. Every college team and NBA team is running some version of a pick and roll offense. There’s nothing wrong with the sets we’re running, we just don’t have enough offensive threats without Bouk out there. For those of you complaining please go watch another basketball game and you’ll see they all run the same stuff. The times we didn’t run the motion weave offense yesterday led to a lot of turnovers or forced shots. Hurley might not be the best in game coach yet, but he knows exactly what he’s doing. Everyone used to crap al over JC’s offense as well and that seems to work out pretty well for us. At the end of the day defense wins championships. If you don’t know that yet, you should go back and re-watch all 4 of our National Championship games. [/QUOTE]
