The TV announcers kept talking about the "Princeton Offense", but in truth, the Tribe has not utilized that style of play in four or five years. Tony has always preferred a fast style of play [which he used at Hampden Sydney] but in his early years at W&M he did not have the athletic players necessary to play that style so he adopted the slow down Princeton style. Now that we have been able to recruit players who are capable of the "Run and gun" fast break style, that is the type of play Tony is coaching.

I was referring more to the fact that because W&M runs so many back cuts to the basket, the person in the post (e.g. Sheldon) has just as high of a probability of getting an assist as the guards do. While W&M has always been near the tops in assists/game, usually it is spread around evenly with like 6 or 7 players averaging between 1-3 a game
