Will probably never see it again
Haven't seen this in my short career, may never see it again...
BV game last night. Home team is considerably overmatched, but only 4 points down at half. Home has possession to start third quarter and runs a deliberate Princeton-type offense... for 4 four and a half minutes. They finally score on a layup. Visitors turn the ball over 30 seconds into their possession and Home team runs the offense again for the last three minutes. Third quarter summary: 2 points, 2 possession changes, and no whistles! The quarter literally lasted 8 minutes. I assume I'll never see that again. P.S. We're thinking about how quickly this one's going to finish up. So, you know what comes next... game stays close and we have not one, but two overtimes! |

A Princeton type offense keeps the ball moving from player to player. Nobody is holding or dribbling for very long.

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.

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.) |

It's Not Chess ???
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.

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.
