[QUOTE="FatGreg, post: 1277297, member: 562927"] Groce runs the same basic system as virtually every team in the NBA and several top NCAA programs. The system is based on catching defenders on screens and forcing help on awkward switches, which creates one of three outcomes: 1) open lane for ball handler (which then leads to a layup, dump off, or kick out), 2) open perimeter shooter, or 3) scramble situation that ends up with exploitable mismatches on a quick reset at the top of the key. The system is fine. The problem is we don't have guys who can make it work. That's part recruiting, part skill development, and part coaching. Groce has proven to be overmatched in the Big Ten, but a high ball screen offense with lots of iso action is not the problem. The sad part of the stuff we're running is that 17-foot jumpers are literally the last thing our system should generate. Unfortunately, we have no one who can consistently break down a defense and too few reliable shooters. [/QUOTE]
