[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 763556, member: 282"] I’m afraid this IS our 4-out offense. I don’t know why we don’t have any motion to it, or run the plays, or have a meaningful strategy for our center, but doesn’t this look the same as the 4 out that we’ve been running for the past few years? We briefly had a 5 out offense one year, and before we abandoned it, I saw us plant 5 people statically around the arc and pass the ball around. The only difference between then and now is that usually one person is inside the arc, and outside the paint so they don’t get a lane violation, and we iso a lot. I’m getting the idea that either Pastner thinks this is the way this offense should be run. After 3 or so years of this, I don’t know what else to think. I also think Peacone is correct about us losing Hardy, and and we’ve never backfilled that offensive mind. I’d like to see a reporter ask Pastner specific and pointed questions about his offensive strategy. I [B]think[/B] Pastner is trying to use a Calipari-style “[URL='https://www.coachesclipboard.net/DribbleDriveMotionOffense.html']dribble drive motion offense[/URL]”, which would make sense since he was a Calipari assistant. I don’t think that works well for who we have. I think you need 2-3 excellent ball handlers and 3-4 outside shooters for that offense to shine. If I’m right in the preceding paragraph, “get old-stay old” isn’t going to work with this offense. You need a stockpile of top 25 classes. Penetration and kick out dribbling put Devoe in a bad spot, and it’s not even fair to Jose. It’s allowing our opponents to focus their defense on our two best players. I’ll jump in here: [LIST=1] [*]Pick a complementary strategy for your center. Realize that they aren’t the strong part of your offense, play them on the weak side, and give them a clear role so they know how to contribute on offense. Play Howard and Saba at center. [*]Put Moses in at your 4, where he excels. [*]Use motion and get away from the dribble-drive (probably won’t happen, but I’d love to see it). [*]Bubba/Usher others are your 3 and flex to 2 or 4 when needed. [*]Strategically substitute so you don’t wear out your starters. [*]Screen. We don’t have players that can create their own shot—or we don’t have 4 to 5 of them. [/LIST] I think Mercer’s coach and Georgia State’s coach would each have made better use of our roster, and would have won both games. I think Pastner has a strategy that he’s convinced will work, and it won’t, and he’s going to ride it into the ground. [/QUOTE]
