[QUOTE="SidewalkJacket, post: 401206, member: 546"] Last season, I was impressed with how CJP ran our half-court offense through BL at the high post, incorporated hard basket cuts, and stressed execution to get the best shot possible on each possession. With our limited numbers, lack of offensive creators, and lack of knock-down shooters, it was a necessary strategy, IMO. This season, that style appears less effective (although to be fair, injury has made BL a different player, and losing CGB and then JA would now make it difficult to look effective running any kind of offense). It reminds me of the high school team I coach. We were already thin this year, then lost a couple guys, and no matter what we ran, we weren't going to be prolific on offense. We ended up running really structured stuff the first part of the year to take care of the ball and get our guys decent looks without needing great basketball ability. That said, our JV team (which has a lot of talent and offensive ability) began running an open-post, mix of dribble-drive and read-and-react offense. Now, you obviously need guys who can get to the basket as well as guys who can knock down threes on kicks to do this. Our varsity didn't have that this year, but we should next year. My question is: Will CJP continue to run a structured offense with the post (either hi or lo) always occupied, or could we potentially move toward a more free-flowing, attacking style as recruiting improves? I never watched Memphis under CJP, so I don't know his history with offensive style. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
