[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 490368, member: 4110"] I think "semi-structured" is the goal. The problem with structured offense against the Hall of Fame ACC coaches is that they will completely scout your team and will negate what you want to do if they know what that is. Part of our success in year one was that we were a complete unknown. By the second half of the ACC slate, we struggled more. I think that is why Pastner wants an offense that has the flexibility to react to the defense on the fly. We become less predictable and thus are more difficult to scout. Both Hewitt (after Cliff Warren left) and Gregory paid lip service to a similar tactic, but for each of them it was predicated on the PG being able to make the initial move by breaking down ball pressure, and neither had anyone who could do that. I don't think that either could teach the offense, both of whom had horrendously stagnant offenses. It remains to be seen whether Pastner can do it, but I remain hopeful. It will take some time because of the level of coordination required, the scheme is new and the team is young. But I saw more of it against ECU than Lamar. My barometer is Devoe. I think he was recruited with the scheme in mind and I think that free flowing offense is what he wants to play. So goes Devoe, so goes the offense (maybe not right away, but progressively). Forget Tennessee. That game, #6 on the road was not a test for the new offense. the young team was not ready for that game. It is questionable whether we could beat that team on the road even in February, but the second game of the season? Forget it. Being beat by only 13, considering how many of our good scoring opportunities that we bricked, was a pretty gritty effort. [/QUOTE]
