Do we have an offense?

Pass it around the perimeter and stand still. No picks, cutting, or any movement. Go one-on-one with 5 seconds left on the clock. Brutal.

You forgot "run the globetrotter weave for 6 passes, with nobody even looking at the basket, or the other 2 players even moving, resulting in the same player with the ball that started the weave, 35 feet from the hoop and all 4 other players in the same spot as when the weave started" prior to stand around

That strikes me more as a Pitino strategy than a Johnson strategy

Wisconsin has won several B10 titles and gone to Final 4's with that offense (and a great defense)

If you watch Minnesota and Wisconsin play basketball and you come to the conclusion that they run similar offenses????? I'm speechless. Wisconsin is constant cutting, posting up guards to take advantages of mismatches and takes care of the ball. In the past, they have played slow....but Gard makes adjustments and with more athleticism this season, they are one of the higher scoring teams in the B10.
 

Ben deserves the criticism he gets for his record and the direction of the program but as far as the offense I think it's similar to what most programs run nowadays. Most coaches have their teams running multiple ball screens and pick & rolls. In my opinion the problem with the Gophers isn't so much the design it's that they don't have enough consistent shooters or guys quick enough to get to the rim.

Ive found if you don’t have a guy that slide on 1 knee and keep dribbling, it doesn’t work as well

THIS and once shot clock runs down, just gives the ball to Garcia and pray for the best

I need PJ to stand on the side of the court yelling "the ball is the program". We treat it like Hot Potato.

That's what Hawkins did last year and the absence has been obvious at times

Yep....team doesn't have a true point guard right now. Asuma may get there but isn't ready to run the show yet as a true freshman.

We have guards that can dribble but we don't have anyone who can do what Hawkins was able to do last year and it definitely shows on offense when we struggle at times to get good looks.
