Post Twist Split

  • Really creative action here from Fenerbache that starts out looking like a backscreen to post entry man but then screener shifts his angle quickly at the last second to screen away
  • Great way to get into a Post Grenade (Post DHO) but what I really love about this action comes in last 2 clips is the reject off the screen away. Which can then flow into a DHO from the opposite side slot with a ton of pace into the action.

Touch Step

  • I’m big on the floor balance when attacking specific coverages. By that I mean where the screen is being set, and the spacing of the other 3 players not involved in the P&R.
  • Here this is a great floor balance to attack an aggressive coverage out of the short roll and allows teams to play out of a backside 3v2 numerical advantage with a ton of space.
  • Also a great job of incorporating the flare screen off the touch action in order to distort the tag.

Ghost Follow Slip

  • Fenerbache has specialized in some great high single tag sets.
  • One of their favorite ways to attack these high single tags is a Ghost screen with an immediate follow to the short side of the floor with a speed roll from a big
  • This is a great way to attack both drop and aggressive coverages. Nice wrinkle to incorporating the ball side exit screen to occupy the ball side dunker defender

Fenerbache Zipper Counters vs Aggressive D (Punch Loop & Elbow Backdoor)

  • A pair of counters that Fenerbache utilized out of their Zipper Series in order to generate some easy looks (That pass from De Colo in the first clip…. wow)

Fenerbache Delay Offense

  • Fenerbache running a good amount of 5 out in the playoffs
  • Pretty basic stuff here as they go flare screen for entry man if that's not open the action stays alive on the opposite side with a Chicago action (downscreen to DHO)
  • Out of this set and a horns set off an elbow catch they dive the flare frequently looking to steal a bucket vs an off ball switch.

Ram Elbow Dive (Aggressive Coverage Attack)

  • Really nice counter here to an aggressive coverage. Anticipating the big at the level of the screen in the middle P&R the ram screener immediately flashes to the opposite side elbow as the ball handler passes before the screen is set. The original ball screener then immediately dives to the rim.

Chin Angle Flip Exit

  • Nice set to create a single tag with an exit screen on the ball side
  • Would be a good angle to reject if it’s there. Try to force it sometimes as you can see on the second clip.

Chin Spain

  • Nice way to get into a Spain P&R from Fenerbache’s Chin Series

Post Double Attacks (Stampede the Double & Cut the Help the Helper)

Fenerbache Short Roll Attacks

  • Last 2 videos featuring the ever-popular baseline cut on the 2 side off the short roll

Non Shooter Catches on the Perimeter

  • Would prefer a little more pace into this action. Preferably a flip on a handoff, but the concept here is having bigs or even bigger wings that catch while not being guarded on the perimeter to immediately go into the next 2 man action.

45 Lift Hi-Lo Pass to Roller

  • Seen this a lot more, but I really like it a lot where the lift from the 45 man
  • You can see the big does a great job sealing his man off the roll to create this opportunity
