[QUOTE="glandon1960, post: 680645, member: 2458"] What I think is very important to note is the structure of the half court offense has changed - moved away from the high post 'point center' (which Banks is not nearly as good at as was Lammers). You are now seeing two players (mostly Banks/Wright) move and one set or fake a high pick/roll with one of the guards creating off that - and two players in the corner (one in each) to threaten the three or cut to the basket (i.e. Cole at UNC). It creates less movement but most of the movement was not productive leading to bad shots and lack of spacing. It puts the ball in Alvarado, Devoe, and lesser degree Parham's hands to make decisions - and - spreads the other team out which has helped with turnovers and getting better shots (and more inside looks). I do think this fits the players we currently have better. I felt in mid-December the offenseive scheme needed to change - and glad to see it has. I was at the game last night and two Duke people next to me said GT outplayed them, but Duke just made shots that GT did not ... pretty much agree with that. Not a fan of moral victories, but was pleased with the effort/motor (especially Banks ... if only he could finish better!). I also went to the FSU game (my oldest daughter graduated from FSU so we try to go when GT plays there) - I thought the offensive scheme was good - FSU is just really long and plays great defense. Either team could have won that one with 7 minutes left. Last night Duke played a lot with Goldwire and Jones both on court for defense - good move by K. [/QUOTE]
