I am going to be brutal here.
What the hell are they running? It is horrendous. It has no flow or any kind of motion to create mismatches. This is an 11U youth 4 out "motion" offense which looks to be just spacing and random cutting with no purpose. My boy's 11U youth team can create more open looks or mismatches in their half court offense than this train wreck. It is just players randomly setting picks and cutting. It is just lazy coaching to be brutally honest. This is Div I NCAA basketball for krist sakes. Watch tape of Purdue if you need help. There is little ball reversal to create defensive switches/mismatches. When it is just so random, players have a difficult time blending their games and reading each other.
If Iowa doesn't get a break chance and stuck playing the half court for 20 seconds, it is just brutal.
Let me point out this is not on Speraw or Francis. This is systemic. Cripes, this is a veteran team so they should be able to play better even thought the head coach is out for the game. Also, McCaffery has been at the practices and only had to sit out the game, so he's had a chance to talk to the team about strategy.
