Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 3012447, member: 6798"] That line about us being a slow-down offense is an exaggeration by Quint. We do continue to rely heavily on transition goals and look to exploit unsettled situations more than most. If those options don't work I would say our offense is just average when it comes to "milking the shot clock" rather than being especially deliberate. Shot clock for me changes the parameters of what defines a deliberate team. Every team has plenty of possessions when they get the shot clock down to the end. Teams only have around 60 seconds of organized offense to work with so it just happens naturally. How often you push unsettled and go for quick clears and what not is a better judge now since extended time substituting, shooting possession shots to hold of the stall call, and other techniques to extend possession time, are no longer an option. Hard to call a team that green lights Kennedy and Dearth as much as we have this season "slow-down." [/QUOTE]
