The offence works so well, because the pro stars don’t like any offense. This one gives them a strategy that allows them to go to the basket if they can or pass. Its simple and creates a one on one. The bulls could have lots of stars on the same court with the triangle. And each star could score. Of course once Michael got into a one on one he went for the basket. If the defense collapsed he knew right where to kick the ball out to a waiting Steve Kerr or John Paxton.
Wished the offense had worked when Winter coached at Long Beach State. He had some pretty good talent, including Craig Hodges and three other players who played in the NBA but in six seasons he never made the NCAA playoffs in an average basketball conference. It got so bad the PA announcer would never mention his name because he got booed so often.
