leaving out the importance of secondary skills in particular offenses.
there is basketball ABC for that, too much (thinking) is allways bad. just my opinion.

If you dont have secundary skills on your outside players(PG-SG-SF) i dont know how you want to play princeton right. You really need lot of passing in the 3 outside man's and another skills like driving and IS also helps a lot. So you forgot the D ;)

if it was to me, then... fast attack needs good offence, rebounding. off course with ball handling passing etc. defence is´t so important because of high speed. slow attack high defense, probably are then lower skilled players (offence, reb) <- higher experience helps out. no more words from me :D

I tried Princeton during the 1st round of the playoffs and it really worked on my players. Eventhough i lost that game (only two points and my opponent is top on our league), i observed that my Big Men (C and PF) are always giving the ball to my my guards. In the game engine, you would see "finds Guard on space" "delivered a great pass to". But my guards won't convert on 3 coz they are not that very good on shooting 3's (prominent js and jr).

as you can see, my big men had many assists than the guards.

You should see that game and forward it to 47:40. I assure you, that game is good. :)

I would not swap them. I know you and many other managers in BB favour JS over JR and I think that works in many of the BB offenses. However, Princeton is not one of them. Unless you are running out the wrong players, jump shots in Princeton should be mostly of the 3 pt or long jump shot variety. This makes JR the most valuable shooting skill.

I would not ignore JS but JR is certainly weighted more in my mind than in a motion offense, for example.

I think this is more a function of the crappy flow skills of your guards used in this game than anything to do with the Princeton offense.

I definitely think that big men who pass well will have increased assists in the Princeton offense

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Not sure if this was intentionally directed to me or not, but one game is a very small sample size. Maybe every incredibly sweet back door pass from your PG was dropped or the layup was missed. Or maybe your point guard was totally shut down by his defender. Who knows? It is one game. You would need maybe 100 or 1000 or 10000 games to begin to be able to make an accurate assessment of assists per tactic.
As far as my belief that Princeton causes an increased number of big man assists, your game seems to prove that point.
