Who is the coach that has been creating them, they are one bright spot. In fact nearing the end of overtime we should have taken the ball to the base line and called time out.
Base line inbound plays

I give much credit to whomever created the inbounds play. Most know about it by now and the Spiders still make it work time after time.
Pretty sure spidernation.com poster diagrammed it on a napkin and chucked it on the court. One of our players picked it up, liked it and went with it. It couldn't possibly have come from the guy that gets ripped ad nauseum here.
Amazing success time after time with them and can't think of another team where that occurs so frequently.
Over the last two seasons I started counting TJ's church league lay ups off a baseline inbounds pass. I'm up to 27...
Okay Mo, that's funny. But I know you, and I know you can't be happy with 20-15 and the NIT or CBI. I'm seriously wondering what your breaking point is as far as Mooney is concerned.
You confuse me for someone that isn't frustrated.
The bottom line is nothing will change until 2020 unless something criminal or academic fraud related happens. By 2020, the Sherod/Buckingham group will have had its run so it's a pretty good fork in the road.
Personally, I like Chris and want to see him (us) succeed. I'd like to do everything I can to help him (us).
Exactly. Let's support him now. No one wants to win more than I. Just feel that some (many?) of these threads hurt more than help. OSC
If you look at previous years where our inbounds plays were disasters, something changed a year ago.
This thread does not support the larger program, we're not where we want to be and where the school (and contributors) paid to be.
The thing that changed in our inbound play strategy is TJC.
Don't think so. These are designed plays, that sure the player has to read but still planned.
Greg Robbins was pretty good at the inbounds pass. Until TJC, we have not had anyone who is as adept at making the cut, keeping the ball high, and making the shot off the inbounds pass. VCU knew this was coming and they still couldn't stop it.
Good thoughtful thread. We have had a succession of really quality passers going back to Mike Winecki I think. TJ is a great target who shoots so quickly with either hand and Trey may be the best passer ever. Fun to watch and it seems to work against everyone. Obviously it is an emphasis in practice that pays dividends.
+1. Nice thread! If you look closely there are several things that we are doing better this year than last (or in the past). One is clearly our in-bounds plays to TJ. Another is clearly our offensive efficiency.
If we can recruit some guys who can play defense (I think that all three of our current commits will be OK defensively) , and then teach them more than a single defense, we would also have a chance to improve in that category too. Andre Wesson also seems to have some real defensive potential. We just need to make sure we don't totally forget about defense in our recruiting, because offensive/defensive subbing can be very effective in close games, if we have the required depth.

You know, speaking of offense/defense subbing, we seem to have cracked the code of doing this without disturbing our offensive flow/efficiency this season. Last year all we did was gripe about how the offense/defense subbing got out offensive flow all out of whack. Props to the coaching staff if this season is more than a happy accident.
