[QUOTE="FiveStar, post: 1345705, member: 603998"] I don’t know if it was by design, but the first 10 minutes we only ran one flow of spread. It seemed like the emphasis was pushing and running secondary and halfcourt sets. Lots of quick shots, some not necessarily good. The one flow of spread resulted in a dribble entry, bad screens for the cutters, and a foul on Black for posting up after a down screen. Second ten minutes or so, I counted 5 spread possessions. Only 2 were good. One resulted in a baseline drive and kick to kipper for 3, one resulted in a baseline drive and score by Mark Smith. 2 of them were turnovers: Someone drove baseline and a kick out option cut into an open spot for a pass but didn’t catch the ball. It’s a good read that happens quite a bit in the offense when you baseline drive people to death, just didn’t execute. The other was Mark Smith. We entered to the high post and ran the cut/full action. Smith caught it at the top and tried to drive the wing gap. This is not a good read because somebody is filling close to that gap and they bring their defender with them, hence a turnover. There is no driving lane off the high post action because the wing and middle are both closed. Best bet is to just move the ball. That is easily corrected by film study. The best driving lane in the offense, and where we attacked a lot, is the baseline. With the entire set lifted there is so much space to work with you have to attack there. I like that we attacked it, even if we didn’t get as much out of it as one would hope. Final observation, I think everyone was pressing a bit too. Maybe some jitters or just excitement and anticipation. If we can calm down and execute the way BU teaches, there will be a lot of good to come this season. [/QUOTE]
