My head hurts watching this Triangle Offense doc
Read Phil's book. Actually, everyone should read his book. I started it and couldn't put that **** down. Phil is actually a fascinating dude beyond just coaching.
He made a point in the book about the Triangle. The Triangle will work rhythmically and correctly when basic fundamentals are installed in each player (passing, spacing, and recognizing defenses). It doesnt need a "Superstar" to work because each player will end up playing to their strengths and elevating their play. It helps having a "Superstar" because when all else fails, they can do their thing. The players have to see how the defense sets up before the offense commences, then it's the job of the players to recognize what happens and adjust. Kobe was quoted saying "The defense couldn't stop us because we didn't even know what we were going to do until we saw how they set up.".
In the book, Phil talked about how Fisher was one of his favorite players to coach and spoke extremely highly of him, and his future ability to coach and lead.
