[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131197112, member: 1812660"] I don't think it is meant to be the game plan, it just winds up being true because of the ineptitude of the offense. I think stressing rebounding and being in the right position particularly on the offensive side is not a bad idea. There will always be shooting slumps. You are more likely to be consistent in positioning and rebounding than you are in shooting. Thus being good at offensive rebounding is another way to win when the shots are not falling. Problem is, WVU has more often than not had a problem consistently creating offense. It seems WVU must have either 1-2 players that can do 2 of the 3 well game in and game out: knock down shots at range, drive the ball into tight windows, or play the post/scrap for boards. If no player is consistently good at more than one aspect, then the offense needs 3 players that are good passers and shooters spaced around the arc and 2 players good in the post to spread the floor and try to create favorable match-ups. Just waiting for another Butler, Jones, Mazulla/Truck combo to come along hasn't worked well for WVU in the last 10 seasons. [/QUOTE]
