Why does everyone act like ISO plays aren't Effective?

[23Barrettcity]

Iso plays are just designed to get the offensive player one on one with the defender .that doesnt mean team mates are supposed stand around like spectators or even dribble the shot clock down to 3 seconds and chuck up crazy shots . That other stuff is coaching but if you have a superior offensive player and and the right coaching it's deadly every team runs them just in varying amounts

your last phrase is key "varying amounts". teams that overuse iso tend to lack player movement. while that superior individual player may get theirs the other players tend not function efficiently.

I feel you . But isn't that the coaches job to get the other players to contribute.

yes it is the coach's job to get other players to contribute. that's why good teams don't overuse the iso. they know the negative affects its abuse leads to.

Iso ball doesn't work because at the end of the day you can key on a single player using 5 guys to stop him. If he doesn't do the "right" thing with the ball (kick to open shooters, help facilitate offense) things will start breaking down.
