re: Why is Virginia such a shitty offensive team?

It isn’t if you’re a good player. The difference the last couple years is their talent level. I doubt any of their NBA guys from 5 years ago have major qualms about the coaching.

Coach Bennett runs what’s known as “mover/blocker” on offense and which uses a more tradition lineup of 3 guard types and 2 bigs and is more focused on pin downs and flare screens than spacing and attacking gaps. This leads to slower paced offensive play due to the lack of space to attack off the dribble early in a possession. Usually you are going to see double pin downs into a flare on the backside before any type of attack happens.
