Primary Issues with CKC System

[Volfan2012]

I googled that because I had never heard the term - This was used by a division III school. He won conference championships but never a national championship.

The goals of the system were:

• Taking 100 shots in a game.
• Making half of those shots as 3-point attempts.
• Forcing 32 turnovers.
• Rebounding one-third of the team's own misses.
• Outshooting opponents by 30 attempts.

The system emphasizes a high volume of shooting and frequent player substitutions to maintain speed and intensity on the court.

The main tenets of that system were the following

1. The first possible shot is the best possible shot, where three-point field goal attempts are preferred over shorter shots.
2. Shoot as many three-pointers as possible.
3. In terms of defense, giving up an uncontested layup is better than a shot clock violation.
4. Always double team the person with the ball.
5. Every player but the shooter goes for the offensive rebuild.
6. Offensive rebounds should be sent back for another three-point attempt, not a shorter putback for two points

Yes previewed like this it shows the total incompatibility with the reality of winning basketball. Sure you would win if you could do all that. It just shows you have to be more talented than the team you are playing because if your not they are beating that press getting a lot of uncontested layups. Preventing you from getting those offensive boards and choking off your real three point shooter and letting the others shoot away.
It was a horrid system for this years roster none could shoot the three or make a free throw. They usually turned the ball over as much as the opponent.

And honestly, I would have no problem if CKC was trying to run what Richardson did at Arkansas. It was based on fundamental basketball with constant full court pressing with a fast past offense - the best players were on the floor for as close to 40 minutes as possible and the offense was geared at taking the best shots.

The problem he had was conditioning the players to be able to keep that intensity up for 40 minutes. They were not out there for 2 to 3 minutes but as close to 40 as their body allowed.

Agree - other teams can scheme against most of that and if you don't wear them down you will never check off all the boxes - which is what is needed to win.

I just think the answer is fairly simple. WCBB still has a decent skill gap.

If you're willing to spend NIL funds to compete at a high level, why not get a coach that plays 5-6 players?

You can spend more on those 5-6 players and have a really talented team.

AI does not give me the warm and fuzzies about this system
