Offensive tempo Topic

I have quite a few teams, DI & DII.  All play either motion or flex.  I am consistently outshot by 10,15 sometimes 20 shots per game.  I play at normal speed on offense, so TOs are usually not an issue.  Even when I try fast paced the same thing happens.  Starting to get frustrated.  Any thoughts?

What do the free throw totals look like?  What about offensive rebounds, are your opponents getting extra opportunities due to getting second chances?

The two teams of yours that I looked at quickly seem to have the same problem. In the games you're getting outshot so badly, you're getting hammered on the offensive glass and turnovers were an issue.  Also, in those particular games, you went to the line more than your opponents (generally), so of course that will lower your field goal attempts in comparison to your opponents.  Looks like the major issue might be rebounding (and to a lesser extent, turning the ball over) and allowing your opponents to get second shots.  Just my (quick) take.

I didn't look at all the teams, but the four I did click on all ran zone defenses. Teams running zone, on average, don't foul as often as teams running either man or (especially) press. Thus, you're most likely getting to the line more often than your opponent (because you're being fouled more often than you are fouling) -- that disparity is going to take away shot attempts from the floor for your team that your opponents are getting due to your lack of fouls. On your Felician team, for example, you've taken 130 fewer shots from the floor than your opponents, but you've also taken 200 more free throw attempts, which at the very least accounts for 100 of those 130 shots (and, in reality, more, because certainly at least some of those were missed front ends of 1-and1's).
