Creating Advantages with a non shooter in your offense

  • Utilize them as a screener looking for short rolls, creating out of that short roll advantage
  • Putting them on the perimeter as a passer
  • Specialized offenses for non shooter with non shooting big (dunker side ball screens)

How has your philosophy changed with a post player as your best player

  • Actions/reads off of low post catch dictated by the defense
  • Delay/5 out actions with big working middle with split cuts off the ball
  • Stick to your identity if D is doubling post rather than just attacking it & immediately playing off that advantage

Screening

  • Read the defense into a screen: Look for slips by reading the defense over your shoulder
  • Vs Drop hold screen longer let screener attack big off drop

Warmups/Practice

  • Build offense and shooting drills within the warmup
  • Due to little time to practice D immediately has something to go against

Studying Film for New Actions/Playbook Building

  • Find creators that you like: Ryan Pennone & Brad Stevens
  • If you find something that you think a guy fits in well, write it down and talk about it with your staff
  • 3–4 base actions: 2 or 3 calls off of each action, 2–3 quick hitters that do not follow base

Overrated or Underrated

  • Traditional 45 Side Pick & Roll: Overrated because defenses are so good now
  • Changing D After Time out: Underrated if the other team is taking a timeout and they are struggling can be very effective
  • Jumpstop: Depends on the level, lower levels jumpstomp, high level players not as necessary, overall underrated
  • Flare Screen: Underrated, extremely difficult to defend, especially if you play a team that has not scouted you.
  • Hedge Defense: Properly rated.
  • Pregame Speeches: Underrated, balance both tactical and motivational
