    huh, that's a tough one.

    I do know that former UNC star Ed Cota starts for their head coach's club team, Zalgiris. He'd know.....

    Out of curiosity , I emailed the Mavs and Mark Cuban through their website to see if the Nelsons could shed any light on this issue for us, since both Don, Donn, and Donny are former, former & current assistant LNT coaches. We'll see.

    thanks Sam, a name would be a great start, it's not like their are that many 'new' offenses out there... it sort of looks like Flex but isn't flex

    downloading the BT of the game now, so hopefully can get it diagrammised over the weekend

    if the CNT is interest I'm up for it and very ready to do the job

    I played Zalgiris about 8 years ago. Don't remember much. On defense I played a guy that ran a lot and they gave him lots of picks near the top of the key. Zalgiris played man to man but they had a 7-3 guy guarding the hoop all the time, I think it was the same guy that plays for their national team now.

    no surprise comparing with the situation in GARM, smeg.:p

    just curious, why don't you dl those games in Olympics and scout them by yourself. I've posted the BT links before, seems to me, you've no interest in them at all, or you've got em from other sources?
