NCAA Tournament 2000 - Arizona playbook: www.Wildcats.net

Arizona playbook: www.Wildcats.net
From Coach's Edge

Michael Wright, Luke Walton, and Loren Woods give the Wildcats their own version of the World Wide Web inside. With Richard Jefferson missing most of the season with an injury, the three Ws have done a good job of picking up the slack inside.

Wright and Woods give Arizona a 1-2 punch inside that causes problems for most teams, and freshman Walton is working his way into the flow. Woods' back injury is obviously a huge concern for Arizona in the tournament.

ANIMATE THIS PLAY DIAGRAM WITH SHOCKWAVE
(A) Luke Walton (4) has filled in nicely for the injured Richard Jefferson, and he knows his role -- he's there to pass first and score second. He ranks second on the team in assists.
(B) With Woods (3) likely out for the tournament with a back injury, Arizona will rotate Justin Wessel and Jefferson into the lineup. The 'Cats could really use Woods' inside presence, but his return is not likely.

(C) Arizona's big man (3) gets the ball at the free-throw line and has a great view over the top to pass to any of three options.
(D) The best option is usually Wright (21), perhaps the premier sophomore in the country and a big-time inside threat.
