[QUOTE="Eight, post: 2827542, member: 73370"] as lazy as it is to compare the tcu offense in football the past few seasons with the frogs half court offense in basketball i do think there are some areas were there is strong correlations. first, personally, i think the offensive scheme isn't a very good one, but i know it is very popular right now. just as in football i would have preferred a stronger emphasis on a designed run game and a pass game built off play action i would prefer to see a more consistent and definitive effort to get the ball to samuel on the block, series of screens to free bane, and a definitive attempt to push the ball to match the abilities of some of the talent. second, there are some personnel shortcomings that scheme just can't cover up. basketball the frogs have a hole at the 4 on both ends and they really don't have a guard that has all the skills or aptitude needed to make the offense consistently work in the half court. not calling anyone bad and i realize some of the players are young players, but class rank doesn't change the skills and aptitude required by a position. max has potential, max did some great things, and max has a great deal of work to do because at times he hurt the frogs in football season no different than fuller, farabello, and smith. finally, execution is an issue and i think a big part is asking players to do things they really aren't ready or capable. the frogs have one player who has shown the ability to be a consistent offensive threat from 3 and that is bane. there are some players who have the ability to have a streak, but dennis and grayer are seniors and 2/3 of the way through this season and they are what they are based on their career numbers. rj can be highly effective going to the rim, he can be a scorer, he can hit some 3's, but i don't see him being effective right now as a volume shooter or the focal point of the offense the big problem is if not him then who? same as the problem at the 4 and from behind the arc if the opponent does take away bane? for me this team is most effective when they move the ball with the pass over the dribble, push the ball up the court off defense, and try to get their two consistent scorers in the best positions possible for them to be effective [/QUOTE]
