This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Princeton Relies on a Unit of 5 players who can each pass... by dillon77

..dribble, cut and shoot. To some degree, the point guard is somewhat irrelevant if everyone is doing their job, but MM has always incorporated a PG to help facilitate it and/or deviate from it.

To some degree, the most critical player is the one playing high post, who usually has the best view of the screening and how the defense is reacting to it. He/she can then trigger a pass to a back-door cutter or someone coming clean off a screen. If the defense packs it in, a three-point shooter will be open.
As such, Maddie Cable was a great fit for the Princeton due to her ability to run, hit layups and shoot three pointers.

If we go to the Princeton, I could see Sam playing the same kind of role that Bella Alarie played for this year's Princeton team...setting up at the top of the key and facilitating, as well as driving to the hoop and shooting from there.

Would Sam and four guards make us small on defense? Yup. But the Princeton offense is also made to chew up time and cut down on opposition's possessions.

You can also modify this, of course, by having a regular center in who can move and set screens: Mik's defensive and rebounding need a place on this team.
Cosgrove could also function here at the high post.

So, end game...it's the Princeton that sets up the jumpers, not the other way around.
