Style of Play

[mattgslater]

The 3,4,4 defense was pure magic, as none of them had seen it.....and strong cage play just wasn't there.

There's a certain quiet superiority to the 3-4-4. It's not amazingly obvious until you've seen it or reasoned it out, and then after that every deviation is but a variant. As for caging, there are just so many ways to do it, and while some are better than others, it's not at all unlikely that a suboptimal caging style has been working against the competition level in any given place.

That, and there are a lot of other strategies which are occasionally effective and pop into and out of vogue. When my friend moved back from Eugene, Oregon, he brought with him this deep defense that totally threw me off... for one game.

Note that
Cyder City and YMCA is the same coach
Warp Lighting and The Runny Noses is the same coach
Ratsberg Stealers and Nuns on the Run is the same coach
Pan's Pixies and Odin's Oddballs is the same coach
Downend Orc boyz and Dead on Arrival is the same coach
Brimestone Balls and Moss Valley Morning stars is the same coach

These are 2 leagues amaglamated. We are adding a third with a leader board ladder climb.

So the first placed side and the last placed side are the same coach - nice.
