Here is a quote about Ohio State from The Sporting News’ preseason basketball magazine: “To survive in the tournament, teams need scorers who can produce outside of the framework of a structured offense.” This is absolutely true. We had it when we had Solomon Bozeman, and we made it to the tournament. This is one things Shields does not to do well, either in recruiting or coaching.
There is another side of that coin, though. Coaches who rely too much on players’ creativity on the court often underachieve in the regular season. Fans tend not to notice that, though.
