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.

As I said, I have no idea whether the GE is that sophisticated. My simple way of looking at the GE is that serves to determine who takes the shots, from where, and how good are the shots.

There is no saying that Princeton should give you more assists. You will be better served by interpreting tactics from how they're described in the rules page than by what you know about them in theory.

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?
