I'd be very interested to see a link where Doc admits he's the architect of the "Rondo-centric" offense.
Until then, you'll have to excuse me if I view that as a laughable rationalization, rather than an explanation.
Gotta agree with coach here. Now that Doc has seen how this offense works with the ball movement going on, my guess is he isn't going to allow the ball to "stick" in Rondo's hands.
Doc tends to notice when the ball "sticks" to others hands and not so much Rondo. I doubt Doc ever conceived of a "Rondo centric" offense, its just the way the offense bogged down once the off the ball movement wasn't happening, fast break basketball wasn't happening, and Rondo allowed the ball to sit in his possession to long.
Its going to be on Rondo to learn to trust the others with helping to make the offense work, its going to be up to the rest of the team to continue to do what they have been over the last month, and its going to be up to Doc not to allow the team but into the rut they were in earlier this year.
Personally, I honestly don't see that the overall offense is more efficient. Want to make the C's more efficient? Here's some ideas:
1. Start sending one or two people to the offensive boards every possession. Enough with ignoring offensive boards to get back on defense. You are giving up to much offense because of it.
2. Star insisting that the players taking all the long 2 pointers, step back one large step in their positioning and start taking threes. The amount of 2 pointers this team makes while within less than a foot of being a three pointer is amazingly pathetic.
3. Create a post scoring game. Sully will probably be that guy. But get another in the off season. The lack of inside game is killing this team at the end of games sometimes when an easy toss in and two points is just what they need.
Do these things and I bet the offensive efficiency goes way up.
