John Thompson III used a Princeton type offense at Georgetown while he was their head coach. 

Princeton offense is a tough one for most college teams, nothing but cuts, cuts and more cuts. Not much screening. A pattern offense without any screening. That's what I would call it

Not trying to beat anything out to you. Just pointing out that the back cut offense they ran was in the 60s - 70s and there was no shot clock.  Don't see anything we're running that looks remotely like that, to my untrained eye. But I did live near Princeton and I watched them whenever I could keeping in mind there weren't 80 games per night on TV. 

Do you remember if the announcer was some old guy?  That is like a Larry Brown or Hubie Brown reference.  The Princeton offense had some similarities to the Jack Kraft motion offense at Villanova around that same time.

Nope dont know who said it. Actually the significance it had for me was: when I was a kid there was a haircut called a "Princeton"..As for USF? Looked like more of the same on the court so, the conversation they had relevant to their "mystery" remark held no significance otherwise.  The "beating" thing...I was screwing with you since this was a "non-thing" to begin with.  👌

People do realize that we have basically sucked forever, right?  Or at least the last 50 years that I have been a fan.  I don't know if the Lord Baby Jesus could fix us.

Hope we see some lineup changes and more up tempo going forward. 

Yeah it’s hard to understand how he selects his starting five.  I also agree on McCreary.  however, I think dealing with portal shitshows is not something many coaches are prepared for.

The only real "clean" year he had we won 24 games ....... 

I think you’d agree with a very, very soft schedule.

106 out of 353, so maybe one "very", with a very thrown together team ...

How about for a team in a “P6” conference?  We had a lot of non-conference gimmes.

I don't acknowledge anything that has to do with "P6" ....

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
