[QUOTE="gt24, post: 884917, member: 538"] This is the fascinating question. Because almost no one runs 3-out / 2-in offense anywhere on planet earth anymore. Sure, there are a select few examples (e.g. UNC sometimes), but they tend to be the select few who can hand-pick the best interior *scoring* bigs and can get more than just 1 of them at a time. That said, it's not like Pastner is facing a unique situation here. A majority of coaches now in similar situations for several years (at least). Need guys that can play outside on offense, but defend the paint/rim on defense. Can afford to have 1 big who is stiff on offense but effective on the boards and defensively in the paint at the rim. Cannot afford 2 big offensive stiffs no matter how good they are on the defensive end or the boards. Better to go with a 4th player who is undersized on the defensive end and can contribute from the perimeter on the offensive end. Pastner's hybrid zone helps with smaller defensive lineups, but that 1 offensively stiff big man better be a plus (not just average) defender and rebounder. We saw that with Lammers, Banks, and even Moses at the 5 defensively and on the boards. Not so much with Howard last year. I can't wait to see what Pastner does offensively. Will it continue to be 95% read-based continuity? If so, will it still be pure Princeton, or something new? 4-out? 5-out? Will there be more called set plays instead? Will there be a more diverse mix of continuity and sets? [/QUOTE]
