Well then Charles and the guys should consider pulling Princeton or replacing it with another offensive set. I am a huge supporter of you guys and I will play this game until the bloody end of days, but if the GE can't run it, then take it out.

I don't like the idea that I may be wasting money and time on players and strategies that are misrepresented.

So if the tactic is 2-3 and I run Princeton (48% of my shots are 3s) I should get higher quality shots from the outside correct? Still, my C should have the ball most of the time, because in Prin. the C plays the point. Just like T. Will plays point forward for Louisville.

Yet, last game he had no assists despite being tied for the best in passing on the roster with my PG and tied in handling as well. In fact, I only average 12 assists a game despite Princ. being a catch and shoot offense with little to no driving.

My counter-point is the numbers don't add up.

Ahh, well that's what I was doing, but I thought about how the guys would have formulated the tactics and where they would pull information about set from. There is only so much information about Princeton out there and all of it falls under the same few guidelines. That's how I thought of it, which is probably waaay off, but that's how my brain works.

I would assume though simple commands like

PG brings the ball up
looks to pass
priority
C
then
whoever is open
passes
no pass open
looks to drive

C always starts at top of key and all four players start a the three point line for Princeton so I would suspect that's where they gravitate toward at the start of the possession...

then after those first few commands obvious mathematical mayhem ensues, but the first few steps should have less variables. Know what I mean?
