This is the time for optimism, of course, but it is still possible to glean some information from the interviews with the coaches. 

A very large emphasis on rebounding this year.

The offense is staying the same and Kiana therefore is mastering it even more.  The 3 and the 4 are identical positions in this offense and Moschkau is fitting in well in that slot.  Dodson has gained confidence.  Fingall was praised.  The Hull twins haven't yet found their niche, it seems, but are impressing in different ways.  

It sounds as if this Princeton inspired offense is going to use a lot of mobility from the 3 and 4 so that we are only going to need one immovable anchor at the 5.  This would give us more opportunity to play more guards and wings at times.

I can tell you my question for the very first chalk talk: given that our Princeton-like offense encourages every other team to play zone, how have we been preparing to deal with zones? I do hope that in the second year of implementation, this offense will become adept at solving that basic problem.
