I am trying to plan for a future game and was wondering what people's experience with the Princeton Offense is. It should be a lot of three point shooting and inside scoring with little mid range game but I was wondering if this is accurate.

I have a Center with amazing rebounding and can play a PF with pretty good three point shooting. My smalls are good outside shooters and my bigs are decent inside scores and was wondering if this might be a decent fit.

I played Princeton in the PL game today. Basically, I think the Game Manual is wrong. It is more of an Outside Oriented offense. The pace is slower than normal, and the ball is passed around a LOT. Make sure to have good passing and handling skills on all your players. Even though the guards end up taking most of the shots, the ball is passed around a lot. Inside Scoring seemed to be higher for me in Princeton than in other Outside Offenses, and my players didn't take THAT many 3 pointers as in Run and Gun. Its more like between RnG and Motion, only in Motion, more of Driving in required, in Princeton, more of passing is required. Princeton is considered to be the slowest offense along with patient. Hope this helped!!!!

Another tip(sorry if it is repetitive but it is VERY important) - Make sure your bigs and SF have above par Handling and Passing. I should have won my PL game easily, but it came close because my bigs didn't have that good PAS/HAN so they turned over he ball a lot. My opponent also got a lot of steals. If you have an overall good PAS/HAN team Princeton is the best Outside Offense IMO. If you don't have too much PAS/HAN then Run and Gun and if you have PAS/HAN but don't have too much JR then go with Motion. Princeton isn't favored by many managers, but I think that is because people don't know how to use it. Of course there COULD be a problem with the Game Engine. I didn't notice anything.
Sorry if I'm in lecture mode today ;)

What would be good passing on bigs at the international level?(i.e. NT, JNT) is respectable good enough for the JNT?
