We can blame lack of depth and proper personnel, but I think it's 90% that JB just doesn't want to run anymore.   Half of the break is leaking the guards out towards halfcourt to receive the outlet.   The frontcourt can make that pass if they practiced it.  It's not rocket science.   Running is like rebounding - it's a mindset and a muscle memory.  If JB doesn't emphasize it the skill atrophies.   That's a big reason why we look so rusty the few times we do get a 2-on-1.   FWIW, I think Battle, Marek, Brisset, and Moyer are built to run.

I guess what I'm trying to say is - everyone is getting their hopes up that next year is going to be some type of renaissance back to the run-and-gun days.   I think that's setting expectations up for disappointment.   Bazley and Carey won't run if JB doesn't push for it.  That doesn't mean next year can't or won't be a successful year, but the vintage SU style that we love and grew up with is most likely retired.
