This article could benefit from some simple diagrams showing what the players' set-ups and movements would look like. Willbyr 19:19, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

There are diagrams in the external links. I assume we could create a few in MS PAINT?--Jaisonline 20:33, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion around the deletion of this article

I read the article. It is an accurate depiction of the Triangle offense in basketball. Sure, it can be rearranged and cleaned up. However, this alone shouldn't be the basis for deletion. The Triangle offense is popular and players (regardless of age and gender) will read this article for insight. This offense is commonly discussed on TV and radio because of the popularlity of Phil Jackson, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, etc...

Deleting this entry would be like deleting the West Coast offense entry. --Jaisonline 20:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Phil Jackson's connection with the Triangle Offense

The fact that Phil Jackson's teams have never missed the NBA Playoffs when using the triangle offense's full arsenal shouldn't be the basis for arguing about deleting this article. I think this information about Jackson's teams is a perfect example of how effective the triangle offense has been for him and Tex Winter, Jackson's assistant and the mastermind behind the offense itself.
