Joe Freeman of The Oregonian writes about advance scout Larry Greer and the role scouts play in developing a game plan. ---------------------------- Marcus Camby glares at the opposing coach along the sideline during a stop in play, hears the coach yell "Floppy" to his players, and cups his hands around his mouth and screams across the court toward the Trail Blazers' bench. "Floppy! Floppy! Floppy!" A salt-and-pepper-haired man rises from the row of seats just behind the Blazers' bench, contemplates Camby's words, and shouts back. "Power. Power." Camby yells "Power" to Andre Miller, who yells it to Wesley Matthews, and before the opponent readies to inbound the ball, every Blazers player on the court knows exactly what play is about to be run and exactly how they are supposed to defend it. ---------------------------- Greer is the guy who suggested the Miller-to-Batum alley-oop play that won the Spurs game. ed: bumped to front page
