Pastner's G-Tech Offense

[TimothyC3]

I was reading about Pastner's offense at G-Tech. Pastner despite what was labeled the "Princeton Offense" it was not what he was running at G-Tech. It was a 1 in 4 out motion offense and it is very similar to what Sean Miller ran at Arizona and Xavier. CJP even talks about it and it's a fluid motion offense that is run 70-80% of offensive posessions. Also, his teams take advantage of turnovers and run. Here's a short video:

Josh has an actual offense, what a concept!

I think it’s going to provide comfort and confidence for the players when they step out on the court. Knowing what you’re supposed to do, where to be positioned etc instead of looking lost and just doing a weave at the top of the key will be a huge help.

Hopefully all of this is moot as we run Garson's system which has a much better reputation at being successful.

The 1-4 is what Lute Olsen ran at Zona and has always been CJP's base. At GaTech he added in some Princeton principles to the 1-4. Medved uses some of the same aspects of the Princeton to his offense and uses some 1-4 and 5 out. They're definitely not running Carril's version but some of the same cuts and back cuts are the same. I haven't had a chance to watch the video, but I think if the guy reviewing the offense says it's 70-80% 1-4 with some Princteon sprinkled in that would sound right to me.
