[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 693517, member: 4110"] ESPN, my guess is the reason Banks started the season as the trigger man was that he showed some promise at the end of last season. He had a streak of games where he was much more steady and clear headed in terms of court awareness. Then this season, he has gone back to being an inconsistent and muddy-headed player. I call guys like this "coach killers." It is glaringly obvious what he does well and everyone looks at those things and says, "that guy is GOOD!" But then, there are things he does poorly or (even worse) is inconsistent that may not be so obvious but kills the possession. I have some idea about why he plays like he does, but I will keep that speculation to myself. But I agree completely that it is the primary reason for a disappointing record for the team. That being said, I think an even bigger factor for switching the offense was exploiting the strengths of Moses Wright. In the "One-in, Four-out" offense, Wright was off in the corner. He is not effective receiving the ball out there, but is highly effective receiving the ball at the elbow. But that messes up the spacing of the Princeton offense. We saw the same spacing problem with Gueye. Gueye was an efficient post scorer. We tried to play him in one of the "Four-out" spots with Lammers and that didn't work very well for the same reasons it doesn't work for Moses Wright. But Gueye couldn't play the pivot (which would have allowed Lammers to move to one of the "Four-out" spots (which I where I think Lammer wanted to play in his Senior year)). So, even though Gueye may have been our most efficient scorer, he ended up, by the end of the season, mostly riding the bench in both years 2 &3. My question is, are we done with the Princeton set for good? Gigiberia might be a good Princeton pivot. But Wright is the problem, from my view. Wright's game simply doesn't fit a "Four-out" role. Unless they see it the way Yljacket sees it, to play Wright in the pivot. [/QUOTE]
