A five second closely guarded violation is one of the hardest violations to cause. If a team has any point guard with speed, he can easily break the count.

This is what I think of when I think of a "Princeton-Type" Offense.

From WIKI - The Princeton offense is an offensive basketball strategy which emphasizes constant motion, passing, back-door cuts, and disciplined teamwork.

I guess this Team left out the "back-door cuts" for layups. That's why it was "Type" and not the actual product.

When run to perfection, I enjoy watching this kind of ball.

Not quite this extreme, but a lot of delay game happens with really high frequency in Maine. You get any sort of lead substantial lead in the 3rd or 4th quarter and losing team is not likely to get enough possessions to even work a come back.

Its a tactic and it works, as an official it makes life a little easier on my legs. As a basketball fan I want to smack everyone involved in games with high school kids where it is about the coaches and not the players.

Actually, how'd this for a Friday night regional quarterfinal girls' score...?

25-9. Yes, that's a final.

Bottom line, the team who was behind was playing a 3-2 zone. Read on.

Here's the story. (The attached video is for a different game.)

Similar one around here last Friday. Boys varsity, final score: 29-11. Visitors scored only in the odd-numbered quarters (and barely in the third).

Respectfully disagree. Working a patient offense like this is not very easy for a high school age kid. Not many kids can pull it off. It takes skill, discipline, and patience. I will agree with you that it is difficult for the coach to teach his kids this, but it's also difficult for the kids to learn this. Exciting, probably not, unless you're the fan of an underdog team that works all week in practice to give itself a chance to win, and actually pulls it off on Friday night.

I still don't understand why people hate this type of thing. It's an additional tactic that overmatched teams can employ to try to stay even and possibly win a game. It's one of the reasons I'm glad my state does not use the shot clock.

Well I hate the tactic. This tactic isn't basketball to me. If I want to watch this tactic, I'll watch clips from the 50's.

Some feel the same way about last minute fouls. To me, if a team is able to play keep-away for that long, more power to them.
