It looks like Karl is already getting a staff together. For those who don't know, Vance Johnson is a well-known coach who developed the DDM (Dribble Drive Motion) Offense, which John Calipari eventually used with great success at Memphis and Kentucky. Karl also used it in his last season as coach of the Nuggets, also with great success.
From Wikipedia:
...the Dribble Drive uses a player (usually, but not limited to, the point guard) to dribble-drive towards the basket. The offense is designed in a way that makes it difficult for the defense to help on dribble-penetration without giving up either a layup or an open three-pointer. Depending on how the defense responds, the driving player can either shoot a lay-up, pass to the post player for a shot, or "kick-out" pass to one of the perimeter players. If the ball is returned to the perimeter, the player that receives the pass either takes a three-point shot, or dribble-drives to the basket, restarting the process.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dribble_drive_motionI assume Karl will tweak and experiment with it throughout the season to play to our strengths in the post, like incorporating some Princeton. I expect this also to factor into future roster decisions. Any type of motion offense, and the DDM in particular, will need more skilled players on the perimeter who can both shoot and penetrate.
