I talked to a friend who plays D3 Bball and Said that his coach said that the Grinnell coach is making a mockery of the game by running this system. YouTube grinnell and you can watch a full game and you can see for yourself they aren't really playing defense at all. And the competition is clearly weak.
The coach's goal is not to win the game. It is to have one player to score the most points possible. They play 3 on 5 defense so that the other team will take a quick open shot so they can get the ball back for Taylor to shoot a three. As soon as the other team is in the foul bonus they foul on the inbounds to get the ball back asap so that Taylor can shoot a three. How is that not a mockery?
Imagine how successful they'd be if they sent all 5 players back on defense and didn't foul to get the ball back.... things employed by the "system" that clearly that do not help winning whatsoever.

lol how is giving the other team open shots and free throws part of a winning strategy? Or telling your own players not to shoot open shots and to make sure to pass the ball to Taylor? Just because they beat something called Crossroads doesn't mean it was because of some genius strategy to get news headlines. I mean seriously guys.
