Obie's system

[Celtic4Hire@xxxxxxx]

Lance already knew this but I heard David Alridge say last night that he 
talked to Chris Wallace last night and Wallace had no idea if Baker was going 
to be at the Seattle game Tuesday night...

Also, I saw a Walker interview on ESPN at the All-star festivities.They asked 
Walker about the live by the 3, die by the three. He said that they don't 
have a inside, post game so they have the best chance of winning if they 
shoot threes and then hopefully be able to go outside in. He then went into 
shooting good threes versus bad threes. 

For the less inclined, this is why Wallace would attempt to get a player who 
wouldn't fit in what we are calling Obie's system in Baker. Once you get a 
low post player, would Obie and the Cs change their previous offensive system 
to accomodate it? Ah, there's the rub. If you watched the ECFs last year when 
our three point shooting died and they ganged up on PP to shut down his 
driving, you would know the importance of developing an inside game.

The coyotes would argue that they won't change this system because Baker 
sucks. However, I would say that the Pitino system included quick three point 
shooting and I assuming that long time assistant Obie has bought into it as a 
virtue. (That is why you see Kedrick only shooting threes. He knows once he 
gets that down or gets hot, he can win Obie's favor. If it was defense like 
Obie always says, he would be playing the whole game as he is a much better 
defender than anyone on the team.) You won't see any change on this team 
whether we were to get Karl Malone or Kevin McHale would walk through that 
door. Not until Obie walks through that door going the other way...
