Spacing of post man and or men- One of the things in the modern game that has seemingly dissapeared from the college game is obvious continuity and understanding of spacing by the big men.

Players should try to stay 12 to 15 feet apart. Avoid bunching up, which can result in double-teams, steals, interceptions, and turnovers.
Spacing - Refers to the positioning of the offensive players, who should be approximately 15-18 feet from one another.
Speed Dribble - A high, quick dribble used to advance the ball up the court when there are no defenders blocking your path.

Players without the ball should use the V-cut to get open and show a target hand where they want the pass.
Offensive spacing should provide for strong offensive rebounding position as well as allowing for defensive balance. Offenses must be flexible to meet various types of defensive pressure.
The hope is to create spacing and driving lanes to basket.
Back screen: Players in the key seek to screen players on the wing and open them up for basket cuts.
I believe that most offenses will effectively work in proper situations with good timing, spacing and execution. The dilemma, however, comes in choosing which offense sets work best for your team.
