Here's a clip from the above article that I would like to highlight.... Larry Brown typically runs an offense entirely different from Tomjanovich's, a style that could appeal to Alexander. Rudy Tomjanovich has always believed in getting the ball to his top players (ISO) quickly and forcing defenses to adjust to them (DEFEND THE ISO). Brown ends possessions (WITH BALL MOVEMENT) by getting the ball to his best of the players (AT THE END OF THE PLAY; WITH BALL MOVEMENT). Generally speaking, in Tomjanovich's offense, the action -- ball or player movement -- begins after the top player is in position with the ball (ISO). In Brown's offense, the action gets the top players the ball in position to score (MOVING WITHOUT THE BALL).
