what is van gundy's system?

inside-out i would think

 

I been trying to figure it out myself

If it is inside out
How is it different than Rudy's System

Rudy ran the Outside in because we had no inside
we finally got the Inside. . . but Rudy never had to
chance to go back to the bread and butter of the 90s

So . . . how is it different than Rudy's System?

Rocket River

 

in our biology class, we call it reproductive system.

 

Van Gundy is a defensive minded coach. He emphasizes team defense. If it takes away a little from the offensive side then so be it.

 

taking away . . fine
but what *IS* the offensive side

Rocket River

 

We lose a LOT of second chance opportunities with Van Gundy's defense. When one of the Rockets shoot, most of the Rockets are already moving to set up the defense, which is why we have pretty good transition-D. The bad part about this is that there's no one there except maybe one player to try to get an offensive rebound. This also happens when we are shooting free-throws.

We are 24th in the league in Offensive Rebounds

 

Offensive rebounding is greatly contributed by FG MISSED in a game. This depends on two things, the number of FG attempts in a game, which is limited by our slow paced system. The other is FG%. And we don't shoot all that bad of a %(about league average).

For what it's worth, the Rockets average about half an offensive rebound less than their opponents. So either we're a bad offensive rebounding team, or we're just incredibly good at defensive rebounds. I think it's in the middle somewhere.

 

D, D, and more D!

 

Just ignore that. I have no idea what I was trying to say there.

 

A too rigid system to reach championship:
Defensive end -- Works well in most circumstances because of the fading away of jumpshot skills in NBA. No tougher than paper fence when facing teams that pass well and have 3+ players jump shoters.

Offensive end -- So called inside-outside equipped with players don't fit it. Players' talents are trimmed off to fit this system.

 

Van Gundy's style affects the game too much - he's an overcoacher.

 

Walton in the 2nd quarter of Lakers-Rockets: "You can see what Jeff Van Gundy is trying to teach this team: Inside out. Inside out."

Thanks for the revolutionary strategy, Jeff!

allow as few points as possible, on defense and offense.

 

There was an interesting article in the sports section the other day about the Dobie girls basketball high school team. The coach was asked about what he teaches, and he basically said that the offense they ran was pass, pass, pass until you get your best shot. Sure, there has to be some structure...pick and roll, start in the post, back-door cutting, etc., but in the end, this is what an NBA offense should be. When you have one player who clearly dominates his opponent, then you go ISO to him...

...I think that's what JVG is trying to do. Plus, despite the horrid fastbreaking on the team, JVG is constantly on the sideline telling them to push it. So ideally, JVG's system would be a lot of pick-n-rolls, a lot of inside out, a number of called plays (which we do see) and some fast breaking. The Rockets are struggling to work towards the constant passing part and the fastbreaking part.
