- Layups, facilitated from weak-side and back-door cutting
- Mid- and Long-range jumpers, enabled by crisp passing and constant movement
- Players who all buy into and work the system (even one stationery person can grind this to a halt)

The Princeton system works best when you have an adept high-post player. Guards can shoot it into the elbow and that high-post player can look for the low post, survey what the defense is giving or not giving and make the next appropriate move, whether it's another pass, a drive a jumper.

That was one of Kat's specialties of course (Ace did it well, when she came out to the line).

Dani P. had some work at the high post. A little rudimentary at time, but she knew where to look, what to do.

The good news is that we've got someone coming in who is known for her ability to read the court and pass...Sam Brunelle.

And there are a lot of guards who have good handles and/or the ability to make the motion offense hum: Anaya Peoples, Katlyn Gilbert, Abby Prohaska, Jordan Nixon. I'm guessing Destinee Walker will be able to pick up on this.

We've got so few players that one has to hope Danielle C. takes a sophomore leap pronto, so she can give minutes to Mik and/or Sam.
And/or, we'll run some one post/4 guard sets.
