I'm still trying to figure out why the basketball team does not seem to have any idea as to what we want to do on offense. We don't seem to have a scheme in place to allow us to be successful. You only have to watch the Florida game and observe the differences in how the 2 offenses attack. When UF was on offense they were very active. They whipped the ball around the horn, inside, back outside at a dizzying pace and they were able to either get the ball inside to a wide open player for an easy bucket or they were able to get the ball back outside for a wide open 3 that they could step into and bang down.
When we were on offense we have a guy who dribbles the ball out front for a while, then passes to the wing, who dribbles a few times and then passes back to the point who dribbles some more and then passes to the other wing. We burn up over 20 seconds of the 30 second clock and accomplish nothing. Then we have to have someone try to drive to the basket when the opponent knows that is what we have to do and the guy has 3 players on him. We either turn the ball over or take a bad shot. This kind of play is maddening to watch. We don't seem to do anything to give us a chance at a good shot. We don't make many 3s but a lot of that is because we don't have the opportunity to shoot many 3s with good looks at the basket. Our 3s come at the end of the shot clock with the shooter being guarded.
I just don't understand why we do this and what we are trying to accomplish. I only know - it ain't working.
