No, but that was not what the conversation was between Scotty and I. He wants a patterned offense run. I was pointing to the downside of a patterned offense.
Looks to me that we are spending a lot of time on each possession trying to find the "best" shot or at least a "good" shot. That is until the shot clock gets near to running out. Than we try to drive the lane or jack up a three.
Eh, your last paragraph is sugarcoating the woes. They often pass back and forth around the perimeter with no sense of urgency, no purpose, then find themselves in a predicament which leads to your last sentence. Sometimes no screen is coming or nobody is moving to the high post. To me that is not “trying to find...” It’s either players unsure of what to do (which at this point of the season being a zone team is unacceptable), players incapable of doing so, or something else.
We’re lucky Tim Brando, a nice and jolly guy, was doing the pbp and not McDonough who wouldn’t have been so kind as to sugarcoat the slop. Gminski followed suit and was overly praising and such. Even Bilas would not have been able to bite his tongue, IMO.
