@ralster : Two issues to discuss:
Can a team be tough on defense and able to grind it out and win and still be a predominately jump shooting, three ball jacking team on offense? Or do they have to drive the ball and mix it up in the paint on both ends to have this personality? Does toughness mean you cannot open up too much the offense b/c then you “settle” and become content with shooting outside shots?
Is KU’s offensive scheme outdated and lacking in ability to allow great players to dribble-drive, exploit individual match ups, take advantage of great shooters, spread the floor, etc. Or are we stuck in a hi-lo design which is great for 3-4 year talented post players and guards who “feed the post” as a first option? Do we still not shoot enough threes or run plays for our best shooters?
Not for now, not for this year (too late in the season), but going forward, I believe Coach Self could use a new fresh offensive mind to up our game on that side of the ball.
