Due Date: Wednesday, February 12th


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. He created "the system" because when he first got to the college he just wasn't getting the talent to compete with other skilled basketball teams so it catches other teams off guard.

2. Whoever has the ball after 12 seconds has to shoot it and then throw on the full court press.

3. Yes, Grinnell always scores over 100 points.

4. I do not think the system would work against Division I basketball teams because they are just simply much more athletic, bigger, stronger, faster, and skilled than the kids that play at Grinnell. Eventually they will run out of steam. I do think this system would be very effective at the Varsity high school level IF the teams has enough talented perimeter shooters. If they don't, then it will not work well.

1. He created "the system" for his players to shot as much as possible because they aren't very athletic
2. Shoot every 3-pointer possible (someone must shoot after 12 seconds) and subbing shifts of 5 new players in every 30 seconds. Another principle is to full court press after every possession
3. Yes they average over 100 points per game
4. No it wouldn't work in a division 1 university and in high school because players in division 1 play tight defense and are athletic enough to take advantage of the frenzy of 3 pointers to turn into easy points--division 3 players aren't as athletic. It wouldn't work in high school either because they everyone plays at least solid defense which wouldn't allow a team to get off this many shot attempts

1- because his team wasn't good
2- if you have the ball for 12 seconds, then you must shoot and after 30 seconds, another five go in
3- yes
4-yes if you have the right group of players. If your players wont work hard enough, then the system wont work.

He created the system because he coached a team that was not athletic but who can shoot 3's. Shoot the ball before 12 seconds and full court press. yes they always break 100 points. The system wouldn't work at the D1 level because the players are better at defense and can press out far. The system could work at the highschool level because players are less athletic and not as good at defense.

1. He created the system because the players he had were not that good and lacked athleticism.

2. Who ever has the ball after 12 secs has to shoot the ball and you play in 30 sec increments then a whole new group comes in and plays

3. Yes

4. I do think they can beat a Division one school because you can do whatever you put your mind to. I do think that a highschool team could run this system becasue they can also do anything they out there mind to

1. He created it because the players were not that athletic and can shoot 3s.
2. After 12 seconds, whoever has the ball must shoot it and full court press after every possession.
3. Yes.
4. I don't think that it would work at a D1 university because the players there are more athletic so the defense is better unlike at D3 universities. It could work at the high school level as the players are not as athletic and the defense is weaker.

1. Because they weren't very good or athlitic
2. Shoot every time before 12 seconds, and sub in a new 5 every 30 seconds
3. yes they do
4. No it wouldn't work in a division 1 university because players in division 1 are way more athletic and would control the pace of the game on defense and offense. It wouldn't work in high school either because they arent good enough shooters.

1. The system was created when he got to college the talent just wasn't there so he needed something to help his team.
2. whoever has the ball after 12 seconds shoot it, and then full court press
3.yes they average over 100 points per game.
4. No this would not work at d1 the kids in d1 are more athletic, talented, and just bigger then anyone at a d3 level. Now at a varsity level basketball game you are going to need effective shooters for this to work if you do then I believe that this can be an extremely effective system at the varsity level.

1.he created the system because the players at Grinnell were good at shooting from distance but not much else.
2.The player who has the ball after 12 seconds must shoot said ball, and the another principle was the full court press afterwards.
3.Yes Grinnell do always score over 100 points.
4.This system would never work in D1 because the players there are much better. I also believe it would work at a high school level because there are sme average players mied in there.

1. He created the system because his team was not very athletic so it gave the players an opportunity to practice shooting as much as possible.

2. If you have the ball in your hands after 12 seconds you have to shoot a 3 pointer and every 30 seconds 5 new players go in

3. Yes

4. I think that the system would not work against division I basketball teams because they are all a lot more athletic and skilled. I think that the system would be pretty effective at varsity high school levels if the team has skilled shooters.

1. Didn't have much athleticism/talent
2. Full court press and 30 second shifts
3. Yes
4. I think "The System" could work at both levels as long as the team has decent shooters.

1. He created "the system" in order for his players to get off a shot as soon as possible because, they were not the most athletic people ever.
2. If the player has the ball for more then 12 seconds they MUST shoot the ball and then execute a full court press.
3. Yes
4. In my opinion it would not work because D1 teams are basically at the top of the line, they know how to play smart. And this would't be a bad idea for a high school team, if they have a good outside shooter and play well.

1)he created "the system" so basicaly any athlete to make a shot.
2)if any player has a ball for more than 12 seconds then he has only 30 seconds to take a shot.
3)yes he does shoot 100 points.
4)no,because division one players are much more skilled than division 3 basketball players so this has a very small chance of succeeding.

1. he created the system because his players were not as athletic or talented as the players on the teams they were playing.

2. one principle is whoever has the ball after 12 seconds has to shoot it. The second principle is that they go into full court press after they make a basket.

3. yes, they always score over 100 points.

4. I don't think this "system" would work against division 1 teams. The entire system relies on players being hot and making their shots. If a couple players are off-which is bound to happen-then the entire rhythm of the team is thrown off. Also, if a good division 1 team who has some really talented players breaks the press, then the system is defeated. There is no solid fallback defense. Also the shear talent of the division 1 players' offense and defense would disrupt the flow of the system. This is why the system would not work against a division 1 team.

3. Yes
4. The system would work at a D1 and highschool level if they have good enough shooters

1)He created the system because he coached an unathletic team that had shooting skills.

2)a-shoot if you have the ball after 12 seconds
b- a new set of 5 players comes in every 30 seconds
3)yes
4)No because everyone in D1 is very athletic but it could work at a high school level

1 because his players werent as talented or athletic as the ones in the other colleges
2 shoot the first shot you can get in 12 seconds or less
3 yes they average over 100 points
4 no D1 athletes are way too athletic and smart to allow someone to do this to them and score over 30. A highshool team could run this but it wouldnt be effective especially with the size of some teams they play

1.Because the players were not that good.

2.Shoot every three points asasoon as possible,

3.Yes.

4.Id not think that will work in division 1 or high school varsity, because the system needs its own special player to do the work and some school won't be fit in this system.

1. He created "the system" because his team isn't athletic but has range

2. Someone must shoot within 12 seconds.

3. Yup, they get mad buckets

4. I do not think the system would work because D1 Athletes are more skilled and will play tough defense against kids that play at Grinnell.If the team has alot of shooters than it could work in High school.
