Message: [QUOTE="Ottoble, post: 2855545, member: 2539"] So despite the win the offense leaves something to be desired. First: Our team not taking a free throw until the 4:13 left in the second half is crazy we drew tons of fouls last year. Positions 1-4 are ball handlers that can finish around the rim and Brissett drew an insane foul shot rate per game last year. Where is our drive and Score/kick/draw foul offense? Just a very strange change from last year's stats. Opinion: Howard/Battle/Brissett and from what I've seen Hughes should be all driving more often. Thoughts? Secondary conversation: Despite what JB has said about the Triangle offense "worst offense ever" (7/2/2017) I think we have good personnel to run it when the 4 players above are in with Dolezaj in at the 5. Good ball handlers and passers, that are a threat around the hoop when given a cutting lane, good mid range shooting percentages overall and there are a couple 3 point threats especially when left open which is part of the point to triangle. Opinion: I'm not saying triangle should be a primary system, but since it's not what we run and is not that hard to implement and could be a good change of pace to keep the opposing D off balance or jump start our guys when they aren't moving their feet, generating lanes and open shots. Like a little starter fluid when the my turn offense starts holding us back. Third: Can we get the bigs to practice with slippery gloves to improve ball handling? Can we also remind ACC refs that when a taller guy jumps and gets a rebound it's not an over the back call just because he's taller? Opinion: Yes and Yes. Fourth Anyone Think Battle needs to have his pre-game coffee like 10 mins earlier he's starting games slow this season. (mostly joking =D) Opinion: Triple shot half-caf non-fat macciato with 2 biscotti would help the 3 percentages, and either crisp up the 2s or help his Dunking =D. [/QUOTE]
