Yes, we need to practice better offense which actually breaks down a defense, not just tries to avoid turnovers.
Cronin can coach defense, but one thing I remember from the international year was that on offense he was yelling (whoa, big surprise) at Berke to go 1 on 1. Not running a play or a set to break down a defense, but to go one on one.
He does coach offensive out of bounds plays well - we do well in those sets, but our base offense always seems designed to get the shots our defense tries to force.
And for the life of me, it also doesn't seem like we practice the fast break at all. We generate opportunities with the deflections, but we seem to be one of the worst teams at running the fast break in all of D1. We have no secondary break, our passes are very inconsistent, etc.
