This is all well and good, but when push comes to shove, we will be playing zone 75-85% of the time with the press sprinkled in.

Also, while I agree that the offensive players we have had the past 4-5 years have been severely limited, I also don’t think the coaching staff should be given a pass on the offenses they ran.

And the reason I say that is you can have bad players who run offense crisp, run off screens the proper way, set up cuts the proper way, and all of the little things that you would think a Division I basketball player should know coming into college but may not these days (AAU Generation). The staff absolutely is at fault for how the offenses were run, and the reliance on one player to dribble drive and create.

I think the players we have playing next year are going to be better basketball players so our offense should be better by default. Without Howard, especially. But it would be nice to see us get a backdoor layup multiple times in a game against top competition.
