I don't think these have been posted before. These go through the "basic" low post and high post sets.

Thanks, Nodak-that's really interesting and it makes me even more excited about having Roy-he looks like he's EXACTLY the kind of center that the Princeton offense needs, especially once he gets more comfortable w/ his post moves.

You're welcome, TBird. I'll expect 25 pages on this by the end of exams.

One nice thing about having big Roy with the ball in his hands at either the high post or the low post is that he can see over just about everybody we play against. If he can become a better passer and more confident with the ball, he could prove to be a valuable component of the georgetownized version of the princeton offense (nicknamed the princetown offense?). I'd also like to see a few high-low sets with him and Green in at the same time.

I found this basketball coaching website that goes into different aspects of the Princeton offense. It breaks down things like a typical zone offense, screening, weak and strong side moves, and post play.
