The 76ers' Princeton Offense

[71hoya]

This possibly should be moved to Pro sports but as there are always questions about the Princeton Offense on this board, I thought this article in the Philadelphia Inquirer fit better here as it discusses issues that have been raised about the Georgetown version of the Princeton Offense.

Interesting that many of the plays Carril ran at Princeton ("Chin" and "Forwards Out" specifically) haven't been given new names by other coaches using them in the past 10+ years.

You would think that they would take on new aliases given that hearing the bench call them out prompts the defense with sense of what is coming and makes it easier to defend.
