Students Speak: The System
“All offense and no defense? Ideal. I don’t watch basketball, but as far as I’ve heard, it’s pretty awesome.”

“The System” refers to the high-scoring basketball strategy created by David Arsenault Sr. characterized by a consistent use of the full court press, frequent substitutions and a lot of three-point shots. Recently, The System paid off for the Pioneers on a national scale last week when the men’s basketball team broke the NCAA record for three-point shots made in a game with 34 treys. The S&B’s Lily Seibert [seibertl] and Candace Mettle [mettleca] checked in with students in the Grill to see what Grinnellians think about their school’s signature style.
