Message: [QUOTE="Coach Orange, post: 1643689, member: 2260"] Completely true. In fact, that is part of the reason that I have been a proponent of option-based motion offenses like the one Coach Pop uses with the Spurs. What I love is that his offense builds many different offensive actions (ball screens, down screens, flare screens, backdoor cuts, post-ups) into it without having to call sets, and it is all based on reading what the defense gives and attacking it. He does admit that it takes a solid year for players to really learn all of the options, though, and it requires players develop all of their fundamental skills. This means that players can't "specialize" and use all of their practice time working on only a specific skill or two. [/QUOTE]
