Sure, you can argue we don't have the talent, but I sure hope our offensive strategy is more than 'let creative players be creative, oh darn, we don't have creative players'
I think it's more "we'd like to let creative players be creative, but we don't have enough creative players, so set up a shot volume plan and screens to do the best we can with what we have"

Don't think many coaches would coach this team differently.

You can only hammer on a square peg so long before you see it won't go into the round hole.
