What is the Princeton offence in reality anyway? Do any NBA teams play it these days? I heard somewhere that the Kings of early 2000s used a princeton offence - but they played a very uptempo game whereas in BB princeton is supposed to be slower.

If you read my reply (the very first reply in the thread) you would know what the Princeton offense is...

I read that before I posted. Even the wiki entry talks about more uptempo teams as examples of Princeton in the NBA. Whereas here its a slower tactic..maybe that depends on the abilities of the big men to find the quick pass or be consistent jump shooters. Which might explain the pace of the supreme Kings offence of old...love that team to bits.

From what I've figured, it seems that the big men take more jump shots than inside shots - either after they can't find a good pass or when they are open enough to take the jump shot. Which would explain the increased outside offence ratings and lower inside ratings in the BB version of Princeton.
