It's 100% true. It's scary to say this, but go on youtube and watch any clips from the Flynn era. We run the exact same plays (double fist, elbow, shuffle, and JBs favorite curls) and a high ball screen. One new play, X, was installed in 2013-2014, where Cooney would run from under the basket up to the top of the three point line with a screen at the foul line from the center. it worked in Maui a couple of times, but then teams scouted it, blew it up 1-2 times, and JB didn't create a counter for Cooney, he just ditched the play. We've mostly ditched "5-high" this year, since it took 15 seconds to develop and every team knew it was coming.

"Curls" can be an effective play, but you need to run it crisply like Duke does, and we don't. When coaches can watch tape from 10 years ago, and all the plays are the same, you're really easy to defend.

There used to be a play called Carolina, which was used a lot during Wes's one year here. Wes and the five would go down to the block, with the other 3 players spread across the key. The player on the strong side block would screen for the weak side (usually Wes), and Wes would come to the strong side post and quickly catch the pass for an easy layup. This could be a play for Oshae, but it's long been ditched
