Calling on the Gopherhole basketball gurus for enlightenment. I’m a HUGE Gophers fan who understands the game pretty well. However, I don’t understand offensive philosophy or “plays”, other than a basic pick ‘n roll or ball screen. Some games, it seems like we move the ball and players around well, and get good looks. Some games, it seems like we do more standing around, and make desperate one-on-one moves to get off shots at the end of the clock.
Questions: What is going on there? What “plays” are we trying to run? Are those “plays” like a football play where all players have an assignment? Or is it more like “everyone clear out and let Nate drive the lane”? Why do some teams seem to get consistent “back door” layups? Do we generally have a type of offense that can be given a name, or isn’t there such a thing? So many questions and so little time. Educate me!
