I'm confused. Seriously, I'd like to know what constitutes running a "perimeter offense", one that focuses on 20+ three point shot attempt per game. I know that most of the time IU's offense is motionless, standing, dribbling and to some ... to much feeding the ball inside. As I watch other teams play, they all do the high pick and roll, they all have their 7' center at the tip of the circle with the ball in his hands, they all spread the court and they all kick out for the 3 on most fastbreaks.
So I need to know ... what does IU need to do different to run this "perimeter offense" of modern day college basketball?
It was interesting to see as I watched the 1976 Championship game the other night ... I was shocked ... at least 4 players were jammed inside the lane and very few were outside. The 3 point line was not in affect yet and I know RMK made adjustments to that motion offense when they came out with that rule. I was still amazed though just how jammed up that lane was with 8 players (offense and defense). Different time I know but the point was how much different offenses have changed.
So enlighten me what changes does IU make to run a Perimeter Offense. I have watched Purdue some, not a lot unless they play IU, to see what they do ... dump it inside, high pick and roll, kick out for the 3 ... just like all other teams do, including IU. Even some teams run that 3 man weave at the top to create drives like Galloway does.
So clear up my confusion offensive experts ... I'm listening.
Also I never played basketball higher than the high school level ... but my dad was a HS coach so I know a little about the game for those that might assume different.
