  • Petrie Said:

What ever happened to putting opponents in unfamiliar territory by running ultra disciplined offense, constant movement, constant cutting to basket, ball screens, ie the Princeton offense. Not talking about a pure version - take fast breaks, take early 3’s or lay-ups, but when play has settled, why can’t we get into the familar sets and patterns that always made Princeton distinctive? Whatever happened to The Smart Take from the Strong ? And it’s not just offense - When matchups are not advantageous why aren’t we in a zone, capitalizing on opponents’ impatience, and mitigating quickness and/or size deficits ? Is carill’s 1-2-2 match up no longer teachable?

Now, watching the tigers is no different than watching any mid-major hoping to be pretty good. I don’t know if I’m more angry or saddened.





There is no greater admirer of Carill and his style than I. All of us more senior fans feel much as you do at some level.

But I watch now not to see a style of play, but to admire the players for their talent and dedication to a sport I love, knowing that these are true student athletes attending a demanding academic institution, playing in a facility I played in myself (intramural yes, but the same game).
