I've had our games on while doing other stuff in the past, but yesterday watched while on the treadmill so it was the first time to take a long, focused look at what we are trying to do on offense.

My conclusion was that I have no freakin clue other than assigning people the 1-5 positions and telling the 4 and 5 to stay in the post area.

The goal of any offense should be to get certain players certain shots in certain areas that play to their strenghts. But I see none of that, I see a church league offense that basically ran like this: Pass, dribble two times, pass around the permiter, dribble once - pass around the perimiter - drive carelessly into a double team and hope for the best.

It's looks like just absolutely terrible coaching. Scoring 70 last night was a stroke of luck b/c we never hit 10 3's in a game. We are also terrible fundamentally with passing skills.

Our offensive arsenal is very limited, basically consisting of the following:

* Thomas is a decent 3 point shooter and has improved his mid-range game slightly
* Ware has developed a decent 15 footer and can stills score 1-1 in the post
* Roquez is a decent slasher/finisher and good and offensive rebounds and garbage buckets
* Chicken still has our best first step and his jump shoot looks better than before.
* Daniels has a decent jump shot
* Ready is an ok shooter and shows occasional flasher of playmaking ability

That's not much and frankly we are terrible at everything else. So the question is how to play to those strenghts.

Against a man defense I don't see why we don't run either a single or double pick and roll with Ware and either Chicken or Ready. Ware is big enough to set nice picks and he's a good target on a roll or can pop and hit a 15 foot jumper. You could also run it with Daniels playing a 4.

It's our best chance to either create an open lane, a layup opportunity for the guard are/Roq or a open jumpshot for Ware or pullup for the guard or an open 3 for Daniels/Thomas.

Against a zone we are more helpless b/c our lack of shooting, but we have to pass the ball much quicker around the zone and get more high/low movement in the post to try and catch the defense in a rotation.
