Regarding Princeton, are you basically saying that the inside scoring rating is about the same as if you had run a motion or run and gun? I have been watching a couple of Princeton games recently and I am a bit surprised that the IS rating behaves like it is an outside focused offense. The rules seem to imply (at least to me) that it should be neutral.

Motion [...] if you want to be strong in (offensive) Rebound or Inside Scoring this is definitely the wrong tactics choice.

The fact that offensive tactics have an influence on the offensive rebounding is quite surprising to me. A long time ago we were told by BB-Charles than the defensive choice had an indirect impact on the offensive rebounding.
I don't know how you calculate the effect, but are you sure about your claim?


From the rules:
During the course of the game, your coach will make adjustments as a result of how the game is going. If you are making a lot of inside shots, he will tell you to take more inside shots. If the opponent is making a lot of inside shots, he will tell your defenders to double-team in the post more often. However, any time that the coach makes a change away from the tactics you started out with, it will be a less effective than if you had simply chosen to double-team the post all along (i.e., you will find that it is easier for your coach to tell the defenders to focus even harder than they already are on inside defense if you are already playing a 2-3 zone). The closer your submitted tactics are to the optimal choice, the better, especially because the coach is only able to make limited adjustments once the game has started.

The question is, are these adjustments visible in the team ratings?
