During his media blitz the past few days, Coach Pitino has repeatedly said that "the best offensive basketball" can be found in the EuroLeague - "posiitonless" basketball in which all five guys are interchangeable and even your bigs are pulling the trigger from behind the three-point line. I like this style of play as I'm so tired of the NBA's pick-and-roll and isolation sets and too many college's get lost in "motion offense". I hate Calipari's Dribble-Drive Offense as the only goal is to get to the foul line more than the other team. I prefer the passing game (I think about Harvard and many of the smaller schools out East from NCAA Tournament games). I also like "quick-hitters" and seeing guys in the EuroLeague making hard cuts and screen-the-screener action so I'm very interested in what kind of sets Iona will run next year. It's going to be a different look which is exciting for college basketball.

Pretty much the Cluess offense, bigs can take 3's and we run the weave and the motion offense to get to the basket. like people have always said Cluess was ahead of others on the offensive side of the ball

I'm actually not all that impressed with these sets. Also not all that new. Popovich has been running a modified version of that, only better, for years. I trust Pitino. Obviously knows a whole lot more than me, but in the end it's always about the players. Could work with the right players. I expect it will be a mix of offenses he will use. The defenses in these videos are horrible.
