the external link is broken i think

I've removed the broken link. You obviously took the effort to leave a comment about it - about the same amount of work as removing/fixing the link yourself. Please consider doing this next time to save everyone the time yEvb0 16:26, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

The general description seems to be a POV issue. It seems to be written by someone who views the Princeton offense as inferior. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HotOne121 (talk • contribs) 01:37, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Use
Insufficient discussion of the offense's use in the NBA. In the 2001-02 season, two of the four teams that made the conference finals were running the Princeton offense: Sacramento under Rick Adelman, where Carril was an asst coach, and New Jersey under Byron Scott, where Eddie Jordan was an asst. Carril has been coaching in the NBA for over a dozen years now, since his retirement from Princeton.

Also: Where do we get the information that the Swing offense is a variant of the Princeton? Is it accurate? Seems absurd. Bo Ryan doesn't have any ties to Princeton. He coached for many years in Wisconsin, basically the same years as the Carril's offense was achieving noteriety; so when would he have learned it? And finally, I have a video of Bo Ryan teaching the Swing offense. It's a continuity offense: it doesn't look anything like the Princeton. It doesn't feature the back-door cuts and it doesn't emphasize ball-handling by all members of the team and it doesn't emphasize 3pt shooting. Doesn't use Carril's dribble handoffs, either. It's much more of a screening offense. Jim Hardy (talk) 04:52, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Examples from Women's Basketball?
I'm not an authority on women's athletics, but I speculate that there are examples of women's teams which use the Princeton offense effectively. Currently, there are roughly 37 male coaches listed. Are they all for men's basketball teams? Gprobins (talk) 14:53, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
