| Flip's offensive style
My contact at the gym, who played for Flip, gives me the following helpful answer: Quote: |
Flip designs his offense to make the maximum use of his players STRENGTHS. Since we have no player whose strength is playing post-up in the paint, he doesn't run those kind of plays. Lets face it, we don't have a Shaq, Hakeem, Kareem, etc. type player. Ben is no offesive post-type option. Neither is Darko (even though LB tried to teach him how to do it), Sheed, or Antonio. Flip's offense is designed deliberately as a motion offense giving our jump shooters clear looks at the hoop. Rip, Sheed, Antonio, get baseline and mid-range jumpers. Tay, Chauncy, Sheed, and Rip get 3's, and Ben, Tay, and Sheed get lobs. We don't have the talent to play a post-up game, so Flip doesn't run those plays.
