[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 300475, member: 2784"] One story from Roy's show today. They practice the end game scenario they used to beat KY. Not a specific play to get the ball to May, but a desire to get the ball in the open court and take their chances with a playmaker rather than trying to run a set play against a set defense. The key is getting the ball inbounded quickly before KY can set up their D which is what they work on and were ready to execute. The story I thought was interesting was that Calipari told Roy after the game that he was trying to call time out himself to set his defense but the ball came in bounds so quickly he couldn't get it called. It isn't the kind of coaching you are looking for where specific designed plays happen but it is really good coaching nontheless. I am a fan of trying to get the ball in the open court rather than trying to run a set play against set D - especially when it works like this one did :D That is not to say I agree with all of Roy's TO calls - or rather reluctance to call TOs. He can at times be rather pig headed about them. Beyond that, I think you are overstating the number of pure "plays" CJP called for GT this year. Against man defense, 90% of the time we ran a princeton based set with multiple options/cuts/counters but not specific plays to get the ball to a specific person. We ran multiple guys off Lammers and looked for backdoor cuts or straight drives whenever they were available, but no set play per se. We did on occasion run set plays off this action to get the ball to specific people - the most common one we ran was a back pick against Lammers defender to get him a lob dunk. We usually ran that coming out of a TO when we needed a basket. While our set had more motion and passing than certainly KY's 5 out set, it was in reality not a lot different in that neither is a set "play" in the way I think you are using the word. Though it is a set or structure for movement you are a lot more used to seeing. [/QUOTE]
