icecougar Intervention Needed
Pope's offense was very NBA influenced
so I'd expect to see some similar concepts continuing. We were pretty up-tempo this past season and looked to score a lot in transition. I'd expect we'll see that continue. NBA teams like to run a lot of the same things we ran this past year, Zoom Action is common in the NBA, so is 5 out offense, staggered screens etc.

I know many on CB romanticize about old style hulking plodding big men camping out in the paint but that's just not the way anymore. Having bigs who can pick and pop, play on the perimeter, see the floor and pass, etc opens the paint for backcuts and dribble penetration. That is what you see in the NBA. I would imagine we'll see a little more focus on scoring in the mid-range when opposing defenses key on taking away the 3pt line and trying to defend the rim. NBA teams are better at scoring at all 3 levels than we were last season.
