When opening against Witchita State. Is he bluffing?

MemphisCanes · 07-30-2014 03:30 PM

I doubt he's bluffing.

Please be bluffing

Some would say that's 2 more plays than we had last year...

But seriously, he was only half-serious, speaking of how little experience our guard corps has.

UofMemphis · 07-30-2014 03:35 PM

Go score and play defense...the only plays we need.

That, and the dreaded black 1-5

Easier said than done.

Having only two plays isn't really a big deal considering that every play has multiple options depending upon the defensive set and matchups. Back in the 60's, the eastern conference NBA all-star team was trying to decide what to run for offense when one of the players said "Let's run the Celtic offense. Just 2 plays and everybody knows them." Check it out and see how it worked for the Celts.

I mean, in a motion offense, you only really need a handful of plays anyway.

Black 1-5 helped to win the okie st game in Orlando.

It wasn't even a "play" it was just telling the defense not to switch on a pick.

A "play" was that bad boy that was drawn up at the end of the Tulsa game in the 08-09 season.

Its just two plays but Lute Olson taught him one and Calipari taught him the other one.

Should be two pretty good plays.

oruvoice · 07-30-2014 04:16 PM

Some of you folks would ***** if we had 100 plays. Or 50 plays. Or 10 plays. Or 5 plays. Or 3.6 plays...

Black 1-5 was Tarik's minutes to foul ratio.

The play that you are talking about was fake the ball to Tyreke and give it to Antonio Anderson and let him drive into the lane past 3 defenders and make a layup with no time left.

That was kind of like the have Joe Jackson drive the length of the court and draw away 2 defenders and then throw a cross court pass to Carmouche for the game winner.

holyterror · 07-30-2014 04:20 PM

As I remember, the name of that play was called "winner". I think I remember cal referring to it as such after the game

TripleA · 07-30-2014 04:20 PM

I think we should fire Pastner and shut down the basketball program.

aardWolf · 07-30-2014 04:22 PM

Perhaps he was just Joshing us...

TiminMem23 · 07-30-2014 04:24 PM

Who cares how many plays they run? How about not getting blown out 4-5 times like last season (@OK St, @Cincy, Home UCONN, Neutral Site Virginia). And when I say blown out, I mean absolutely hammered from start to finish.

~~Ramen_Tiger~~ · 07-30-2014 04:24 PM

I can see where 2 plays isn't a bad thing. Didn't UConn just run a high ball screen and a flex?

Sundanceuiuc · 07-30-2014 04:44 PM

This doesn't sound right, any one got a link to the audio/video/writeup where he is quoted saying this?

Many offenses don't require a ton of set plays, so this isn't necessarily a big deal, but I'd love to hear the context...

Why are you revising history that we can still remember? We got hammered 6 times last year, but NEVER from start to finish.

1. Lost at OSU 101-80, but only lost the second half by 3 points.

2. Lost at home to Cincy, 69-53, but only trailed at the half, 27-26.

3. Lost at SMU 87-72, but we were tied at the half 29-29.

4. Lost at Cincy 97-84, but only trailed by 1 with 16 minutes left in the game.

5. Lost in the AAC tourney to UConn 72-53, but we were down 16, only 45 seconds into the second half, and lost by 19, so only lost from there by 3 points.

6. Lost to UVA in NCAA tourney 78-60, but only lost by 3 in the second half.

All other losses were 10 points or less.

So, not only are you wrong, but we never had ONE GAME last year where we were "absolutely hammered from start to finish." In every case, we got rolled in one half, and were essentially even in the other half.
