[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 930119, member: 2784"] I guess I wasn't clear enough but I do think there is a problem with our base offensive set. Not to say we don't have issues with the consistency of our effort running it or the fit with the skills of our 5 spot - but we have a fundamental problem with the spacing of the set. When we run the pindown inside the lane and then hand off the ball at the foul line it doesn't stress the defense. The trailing guard simply works through the 2 screens and trails the guard up the lane. The defensive 5 doesn't have to move and the corner defenders are just sitting there with no reason to help. All the offensive movement takes place in the lane area with no side to side movement. Compare that to the Michigan version where offensive guards and defenders are moving all over the perimeter and the defensive big has to come out to guard against handoff 3 point shots. The spacing and lack of movement pretty much guarantees that our guard is going to have to go one on one from the top of the key with a clogged lane - something we see all the time. And that the corner defender isn't stressed to have to move and help so there is no kick out. So without a doubt it would help if we moved and cut more aggressively but IMHO that isn't the core issue with this offense. It is the spacing in the offense that allows it to be easily guarded.
