Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 4835650, member: 966"] I mentioned that in the first or second exhibition—that it looked like we were running a Paul Westhead 7-second possession scheme. And then a moment later… we stopped. Made me look like an idiot, as we were now plodding and struggling to play slow. I wish we could do both, but I think these players need defenses to break down organically, because our offensive scheme isn’t breaking anyone down strategically. And if you can’t beat the Colgate-level defenders consistently with pure athleticism and skills, the fallback has to be technique and intelligence. We are not displaying much of tech and IQ. Maybe we need to regularly push and push, early on, and hope we develop in those other respects as the season progresses? I just worry that we’ll be easy to slow down by any savvy team and the warts will be easily exposed again. [/QUOTE]
