Wayne but that is a odd find. No real ties to Indiana, just had done a search for Georgetown-related news this morning and came across this article. Ahhh... the wonder of the Internet! |

I thought Ashanti's description of the offense under Esherick was pretty accurate:
“We were used to standing around waiting for the big plays,” Cook said."
Cook goes on to say:
“This offense, it’s more like team-oriented so everybody is involved, cutting and getting each other open. It was a little hard to deal with in the beginning, but we got used to it. We picked it up pretty fast I think.”<br>
This caught my eye because it made me think of Drew Hall's comments that Esherick didn't think he was enough of a playmaker (which is rational enough on Esh's part; the Esherick offense, as described above, needs playmakers to succeed). Sounds to me like he would have been happier under JTIII.

The "Esherick" offense? That's a good one. Really. You slay me.

Sounds to me like he would have been happier under JTIII. Hall may have been happier, but he wouldn't have been better. Esh did not have an offensive philosophy. The great thing about JTIII is that even though he is JT2's son, a lot of his basketball knowledge has come from Pete Carrill at Princeton. Esh learned basketball from JT2, which meant all defense, and very little offensive creativity. Sweetney was Esh's security blanket when it came to offense. With Sweetney, it was kind of like the Lakers where you dump it into Shaq and if that fails kick it back out, or he gets fouled and gets FT's. Or when it came to the last shot, it was give it to Braswell and see what he can do. When Sweetney left, a blind man could see that there was no offensive system in place. |
