why does it have to be either / or.
The challenge in the past was Cal on offense didn't have consistent shooters and as a result teams clogged the lane, Whatever dribble drive is/was, it wasn't going to work with the guys clanging 3 pointers off the rim or driving into the the paint where a team was collapsing on them.
Can you not have a team average 80 points a game AND play good defense?
People want to blame Reed for last night's loss - and I can see why but at the same time, when your guy hits (5) 3 pointers maybe its time to switch things up. Admit that Reed can't guard the guy and swap him. Was that Wagners job? ok Wagner isn't available, then play a hybrid zone, double team him, put Dillingham on him, make some adjustment for crying out loud.
