Season update

I remember the first two years with Pearl, when we had Dane, Lofton, JaJaun, we got 6-8 points on cuts. It was really pretty. I specifically remember Pearl's first year against Texas were they could not stop our baseline cuts.

What Pearl has recruited seems to be guys who don't run cuts effectively. They'd rather have a penetrator and he can kick out. I suppose Selby was suppose to be that guy. But we haven't had a PG that can do that.

There don't appear to be a lot of variation in how we run that base flex. It's been the same since Pearl has arrived. A flex offense is usually the easiest offense to teach. That's why it's popular in junior high and high school, and that's why you don't see much of it at the college level.

THE Dribble Drive is now becoming the big offense in high school. We are learning it this year. Our problem is we haven't been able to space properly. We get clogged up. And the handoffs have to be near perfect.

My one issue with the motion offense is sometimes you can get lost, just like with the flex. You just run the offense and not look. You can't have 5-10 set plays and run them all day. That won't work obviously. I just wish our flex had more options with ball screens, quick post up, and cutters.

The "dribble drive" and a traditional motion offense are two very different animals. The dribble drive is all about spacing and creating driving lanes. A traditional motion offense is more like teaching your players how to react upon what the defense is giving you. The flex is much more robotic.

Oh yeah, I know. I was just stating that in about 5-10 years everybody is going to the DDMO, especially with such an emphasis on guard play now.

I think UT would do well to run more off-ball screens for our shooters. See if we can get Scotty/Cam catching the ball in rhythm instead of holding it for a second and forcing a bad shot.

Agreed.

I'm wondering how long it's going to take before everyone realizes the dribble drive's kryptonite is John Chaney's old matchup zone. Dean Demopolous will make a fortune holding clinics when people figure it out.

Tatum's base isn't strong enough to do much catch and shoot work. His knees have forced him into being pretty much a pure spot up shooter. He's almost shooting a set shot.

That's a good point. His knees have really taken something out of him. Still, we need to do something different. It'd be nice if we had two players who could hit a 15ft.

Lighty is a pleasure to watch, what a shooter. Craft looks like a very smart player. Shame he is a snitch.

Florida looks anything but soft inside thus far. Maclin has developed a nice jump hook.

Lauderdale looks 45 years old.

I don't get it, if he is a snitch it's reason to hate on him but if Pearl is a snitch he is still the mothereffing man?
