Coaches all have their philosophies and their preferred styles of play. Examples:

Coach K has gone on record multiple times saying they really don't have plays at Duke. They are more like spots on the floor and a loose set of movement rules and the players themselves get to read and create on their own. The advantage is that they are very hard to prepare for as the offense is unstructured and unpredictable. he can also intermingled players as its largely positionless. But you need the right type of player - not just highly talented but also a high enough bball iq to make the right reads and everyone needs to be a good passer. As a side note, after he coached Banchero in international play he talked about how much he loved his feel for the game. Always in the right place and always making the right reads. 

Tara manages games at a finer level of detail. The offense is based on the Princeton system which allows for lots of scripted plays and very defined positions and movements. Practically all plays are called from the bench. Players are often substituted like for like.

Monty was an efficiency guy. He wanted lots of low block touches and shots, wings who could shoot the sh!t out of it, and tough as nails point guards. The offense was based around the principle that if we get these guys these shots at these spots, we will out-efficient you. But it was highly structured and if you were a wing who didn't shoot it well you didn't playmuch, regardless of your talent level. Posts played post positions and they didn't get to roam around the perimeter and shoot threes.

There are tons of other styles and many that are based on slower tempo, like the Virginia's and Wisconsin's who want to play slow, highly structured offense, go deep into the shot clock and win the possession game. Turnovers are cardinal wins as are o boards by the opposition.

Haase seems to be all over the place. It seems like he leans toward the Duke philosophy of unstructured play where everyone is on equal footing and everyone has the green light with lots of freedom.  Positions aren't well defined. he's got guys shooting who can't shoot, guys attacking when nothing is there, the ball doesn't move because players are confused, strange combinations because he thinks all his players can play positionless basketball, posts shooting threes,  etc, etc. He clearly hasn't recruited the kind of player who can play the Duke style. Not sure what the answer is at this point to get the ball moving and to eliminate confusion on the court, but it sure is painful to watch!
