Message: [QUOTE="Coach Orange, post: 1223389, member: 2260"] I feel your frustration. Two points: [LIST] [*]One of the downsides of running set plays as compared to motion offense is that players, especially young ones, run the play "as scripted," often missing playmaking opportunities because they are so worried about completing their responsibilities. This leads to "going through the motions" mechanically rather than seeing and exploiting what the defense gives. [*]I don't know the answer to this, but perhaps Joseph hasn't been given that freedom by Coach Boeheim. Coach likes to control everything that happens on the floor, including who is taking what shots. When he calls plays, JB often has a rule: only the player that the play is designed for can shoot a shot that isn't a layup. Perhaps he hasn't given Joseph the freedom to freelance off of the design and create a different shot. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
