📋 Xs and Os (not Jimmys and Joes)

Been thinking about offensive philosophies some, and I am curious to get others’ thoughts on this.

How would you define UVA’s offense philosophy under TB?

To give some examples of how I might describe offensive philosophies for some prominent offenses:

Alabama (under Oats)

  • Push in transition and attack before the defense settles
  • Any semi-open 3 is a good shot
  • Avoid shooting from the midrange at all costs

Villanova (under Wright)

  • Off-ball players limit movement to stay spaced for the ballhandler to be able to attack
  • Everyone catching the ball should look to shoot when they catch
  • Look to create an advantage mostly 1-on-1 (dribbling into post ups, attacking a spaced floor), ball movement is mostly to turn a small advantage into a big one
