When you have teams with lesser talents you need a strict system in place think old Bennett Virgina. They need to run a motion offense with constant player and ball movement.  Need players to move with a purpose on the floor not just go through the motions.  Need cuts to be sharp.  Need actual screens to be set.  Need passes to be on time.  etc.   This is how teams with lesser talents beat more talented teams, they run their stuff over an over an over again.  The last thing you want to do when you are the lesser talented team is to run ISO basketball because you are ISO against someone better and more athletic than you.

On defense, you have to do things to differently.  You have to constantly switch during the game on how you play to confuse the other team. How about trap the ball screen?  How about go over ball screens?  How about actually coaching help defense.  Our players don't have the basic fundamentals on how to play defense.  Help and recover,  hedge screens and recover, trap and defense rotates. etc.
