John Shoop, Part IV: Strategy
Posted Jan 15, 2009
With Hakeem Nicks, Brandon Tate and Brooks Foster catching the ball, and T.J. Yates’ touch on the deep throw, it is little wonder that the last two seasons the Shoop offense has closely mirrored that of Norv Turner’s preferences. “We could throw the ball deep as well as anybody in the country, and we had some of the most creative double moves that you’ll find anywhere. A lot of those things are what we learned from him, Norv Turner -- it's kind of his package.”
