Sorry, but that's an antiquated view of how to run an offense. When your

center can shoot 3s you don't park him under the basket. You let him shoot 3s until the defense comes out to guard him. Now anyone can either drive the lane or post up without the presence of a shot blocker. Offensive rebounds are way less important than effective FG% or true shooting %. Those stats tell you how many points a player produces with any shot. And Basile is producing 1.3+ pts/shot which is huge. He's also *intentionally* clearing out the lane so that Mutts or anyone else who can score from there doesn't have to deal with a secondary shot blocking defender. If you want to read more about it, just google "5 out offense basketball" and you'll get hundreds of links and plenty of videos so you can understand why Basile is operating that way. And believe me, what he's doing is exactly what Mike Young wants him to do, whatever you might think about it. ** Edited by King of Hokies at 12/6/2022, 10:51:19 AM

So You Are A Coach?

Yep. If Basile can hit the 3s, Mike wants him to shoot them.
