Re: We run fewer sets that work than any team in the ACC

Yes we may run fewer sets.

Why?

BC we are a below average offensive team.
One of out "best" shooters is at best average when compared to the rest of the ACC.
Our point guard is not good in terms of offense.
Our back up center has no offensive game.
The other back up center is improving but is at best seen as average offensively.
Our starting center is at best average offensively and has no 10-12 ft jumper...as compared to peers across ACC.
We have two semi-consistent offensive players and one is a true freshmen who is at this time average at shooting threes. The other is best inside and via athleticism. He is an average shooter.
Our best shooter is height challenged and streaky this year, not consistent.
Our off the bench guards are below average offensively and very inconsistent this year. One is a true freshmen who is lost.

So why do Clemson fans think we should score? We not only do not have horses for running, we also do not have the talent to score... Consistently.

Recruiting is Coach BB's biggest and singular problem. That is what he has to improve in the next three years to keep job.

The extension made sense.... This year fine, next year team has no home = recruiting is handicap, 2017 he gets to SELL SELL SELLL facilities. So 2018... rolls as the year of Coach BB.

What will be going on in terms of recruiting at that time will determine the fate?

Clemson's offense does like to run through Nnoko with a type of 4-out 1-in. That's a huge part of our base offense though and not really a set play.

Beyond this, I am baffled by saying we run tons of set plays. That's on the same level as saying every play is a set play. Count the number of off the ball screens and the number of times we have guys just standing around the perimeter.

When we go on scoring droughts, our offense starts lacking motion. We do not run set plays (unless after a time out) and when we finally do, we have missed a lot of offensive opportunity. On the positive side, the defense does increase the intensity (which CBB is great at bringing).

I criticize the lack of set plays because I don't see them when we need them. In general though, I feel we need to attack with more movement to create mismatches. When the chips are down, we attack the rim with Rod and then tip drill the follow. That isn't a set play, that's a strategy that has worked.

We probably run more sets than any team in the ACC

We run fewer sets that work than any team in the ACC

To me, that says CBB is trying to limit possessions

Limiting possessions is irrelevant.

This is comical

Exactly

Right
