[QUOTE="STATS GUY, post: 1678294, member: 748303"] I would like to see an offense where we run plays which do not require one guy taking up 20 seconds of a shot clock. In the Marquette game they pressed and we used 8 seconds to get the ball across and then another 5 to 7 seconds to position ourselves in the half court. Belo dribbles 10 and gave us little or no time to even have multiple looks. Move the basketball by NOT dribbling so much. You can get into a play without dribbling. Screen the Screener action maybe needed right now. You don't screen, the play will not be for you. MJ made a living off screen the screener. Also, we will pick up a few more back doors with some action. Dribbling can't be the answer to our problems. Ball movement and player movement will make us harder to guard. Belo will find plenty of opportunities if we rotate the ball. Any team can guard the first pass, good defensive teams handle the second rotation, it takes a really great team to stay with the 3rd rotation! Belo will 'eat up' teams and his magic will shine through with a little more ball movement. I don't mind the ball in his hands with 10 sec or less but we have to get movement sooner so players get touches and have a feel on the offensive end. [/QUOTE]
