After 5 seasons: 113-58, .661. 83.6 PPG (#3).

Final stats for the 5 Out offense: 83.6 PPG (#13), 27-8.

Final stats for all offenses in the next post.

[Wayne23]

Final stats for the Motion offense: 90.6 PPG (#1), 33-4.

Final stats for the Princeton offense: 83.9 PPG (#11), 28-8.

Final stats for the 5 Out offense: 83.6 PPG (#13), 27-8.

Final stats for the Shuffle offense: 81.8 PPG (#25), 30-5.

Final stats for High Post offense: 82.1 PPG (#27), 28-7.

Final stats for the Flex offense: 82.3 PPG (#28), 31-4.

Final stats for the Triangle offense: 77.5 PPG (#131), 24-11.

Not sure how accurate any of this is but I'm going to go with Motion and Princeton in future associations.

AND... I am now going to do another test. Still using Rhode Island, same start up point, I am going to test going with first 65%/35% Offense, then 75%/25% Offense, then 65%/35% Defense, then 75%/25% Defense. SO 4 more test associations. I'll call that thread Offense vs. Defense.

[Perfekt]

sad to see no full transition offense. I run that when I coach teams like Duke and put all my practice time in man to man and a press. It is awesome. Was curious how it would have ran with a team like RI.
