In terms of watchability, this is about as slam dunk of a hire as they come. Oats’ style of play will intrigue fans. It is not helter skelter, however — he is regarded as an offensive guru running an offense very similar to Thad Matta’s, though perhaps more eclectic. It isolates shooters, frees up slashers, and puts points on the board. Sometimes described as a motion-transition offense, it incorporates a lot of weave, off-ball screens, isos, and some high-low post game. When given the opportunity, the Bulls will run in transition — they look to get up the floor. And in the half-court with emphasis on spacing, the primary goal of the offense is movement and freedom — wings and guards in particular will love it.
