Obviously, from the above, I sympathize with your concerns, but to play devil's advocate, recent Tiger teams have had excellent offensive efficiency statistics while deviating more and more from the traditional Princeton offense sets. The undefeated champions of two seasons ago hit very few backdoor plays, and the high post was used 90% of the time for handoffs to cutters (almost a ball screen). BUT...those teams did have some distinctive and disruptive ways of attacking the defense, notably via crisp crosscourt passes (a Weisz specialty) and by no-look backward bounce passes to a corner shooter by a player driving in from the wing. AND those teams had a lot of decent-to-very-good three-point shooters. PU's offense in the last couple of games would have looked vastly better with even a 1/3 hit rate from beyond the arc, rather than the anemic percentages actually posted. |
