The video below explains "the system" which I discussed briefly on the first day of the semester. Please watch the video and answer the questions after. Please make sure to put your name on you Blog.

 
 
1. Why did David Arseneault create "the system"?

 
2. What are 2 principles of the system?


3. Does Grinnell always score more than 100 points a game?


4. Grinnell is a Division 3 university, do you think the system would work at a Division 1 university?Why or why not? Do you think is could work at the high school varsity level? Why or why not?

1. Arseneault wanted to change the mindset of the team

2. Shoot after 15 seconds and full court press

3. Yes they average 111 ppg

4. I don't think this would work at a D1 level because the other team would figure out a way to stop it and will be physically/mentally able to shut down the highpaced offense. This could work at a varsity high school level

1. The players at Grinnell College weren't that good.
2. Shoot a 3 as fast as you can and then do a full court press.
3. Yes
4. I don't think it would work on a DI level because the teams would find a way to break the full-court press and stop the 3 in the process. The system might work on high school level depending on the competition.

1. David Arseneault created the system because his players had a lot of work to do in improving their skills and had a lack of athleticism. He needed to try something different from their regular plays.
2. One principle of the system is that after 12 seconds, the player must shoot the ball, which is usually a 3-pointer. After the shot, the players must go straight into a full court press. The shifts switch every 30 seconds.
3.Yes, they always score at least 100 points per game.
4.This system probably wouldn't work on a Division 1 team because they are very experienced and would press them, making it very challenging to score in the first 12 seconds. This would probably work on a High School Varsity team because the opponents may not be used to the quick 30-second play pace and it would be hard to catch up.

1- there was a lack of altheticsim

2- *Whoever has the ball after 12 seconds has to shoot it
*Then full press and a rotation after 30 seconds

3-yes

4-No it will not because there are athletic people at the d1 level and they will pick up on it easily. and no because not everyone at the highschool level can shoot or have enough stamina for that

1. His team wasnt very good and athletic.
2. shoot quickly and do a full court press. Sub every 30 seconds.
3. Yes
4. I dont think this would work at a division 1 university because D1 players are bigger, stronger, and better. This would work at a high school varsity level because younger teams would be more likely to make mistakes.

1) He created the system because he did not have great scorers, so he opted for large volume of shots as opposed to taking quality shots.

2) Players must shoot a 3 as fast as possible, then go on a full on press defense.

3) Yes, they always score more than 100 points.

4) I think it might be able to work at both a D1 school and a high school, but it would be less successful in both scenarios. D1 schools would be playing much better defense, and high school players just won't be able to get as many shots off simply because they are less athletic than college players.

1) Arseneault realized his players were not very talented, so he wanted to try something different.

2) 2 principles are shoot a three pointer as fast as you can (must shoot after 12 sec) and then set up full court press

3) yes

4) I don't think the system would work at a D. 1 university because there is a lot more talent and opponents would be able to slow the game down and play better defense. In states without a shot clock for high school, I don't think the system would work either because opponents could hold the ball for long periods of time and control the speed of the game.

1. David Arseneault created the system because his team showed a lack of athleticism.

2. Shoot a as soon as possible and get back for a full court press.

3. Yes

4. The system would not work in a D1 University because it is a higher caliber of players and they will eventually find a way to break it down. It might work on the high school varsity team because they have it well rehearsed and it might move too fast for them to catch on.

1. The players weren't athletic enough and the team needed a change
2. whoever has the ball after 12 seconds has to shoot it. full court press
3. yes
4. this wouldnt work agaisnt a d1 team because the players are very athletic and could stop the press. this probably wont work because not all highschool players can shoot 3s well and they could turn the ball over alot

1) Arseneault thought his players weren't athletic enough, and the team wasn't good enough.

2) Shoot as fast as possible and go into full court press.

3) yes

4) No, at the D1 level players are more athletic and probably can play better defense. It would probably work in high school if the team is athletic enough and can run with the ball.

3.Yes

4. Yes, I think it could work in a D1 school because they will have enough talent to pull it off. However, I think high school players don't have enough stamina or shooting abiblity to be successful in the system.

1.) He created the system because his player werent that good
2.) Shoot a three as fast as you can and then do a full court press
3.) yes
4.) It would not work at D1 because they have had losing seasons using that system against D3 teams, it would work at high school level because it works at the D3 college level

1. His players were not good enough nor were they athletic
2. Shoot the ball in 12 seconds and full court press
3. They always pass 100 but they don't always win
4. I think it could work but you wouldn't need to, unless the varsity was non athletic and lacking talent

4. this wouldn't work against a d1 team because the players are very athletic and could stop the press. this probably wont work because not all high school players can shoot 3s

1. He created the system beacuse his team didnt have that many strong players.

2. Each player has to shoot after 12 seconds of having the ball, and a full court press.

3. Yes

4. It wouldn't work at a D1 school because the players are all the best selected players from all around the country and are very strong and skilled.

1. His players where not skilled or athletic.

2. Whoever has the ball after twelve seconds has to shoot, and you must full court press and then rotate the players every thirty seconds.

3. Yes the average about 111 point per game.

4. It would not work in division 1, players in division 1 are a lot better so they would be able to contest the three pointer every time and they would also probably find a way to beat the press quickly. Also, it will not work on a varsity team, few high school teams have 4s and 5s that can make a three pointer and get down the court that fast.

1. In order to facilitate for his bad players. and to get everyone involved

2. Have to shoot after 12 seconds and full court press

3. Almost every time, but they have scored less than a 100 before (the video said 94 once)

4. Wouldn't work in D1 because the opposing team would ick up on the system and force it to a stop with good defense. In high school it would would work only if the team is very athletic.

1. To change the mindset of the whole team.

2. Shoot quickly and then full court press on the make

3. Yes.

4. It could work for both because it shuts down the offense and prevents the other team from fast breaking which is done in division 1 as well as high school teams.

1. his players werent talented.
2. 3 pointer and go to press defense
3.yes
4. no it wouldnt work in DI. In DI there are more talented, bigger defenders. also they rotate and trap better than DIII. It probably wont work in varsity either since it is still high school and talent hasnt spread to colleges yet.

2. Shoot a three pointer as quickly as possible (must shoot within 12 seconds) and then full court press, with substitutions every 30 seconds.

3. Yes, they are one of the top scoring teams.

4. I dont think this would work on the D1 level because the competition is more athletic, but it could work on the high school level if the players are good shooters.
