USC ran this half court set in their first round 2017 NCAA Tournament win over SMU. They used this "Circle Action" to get their Point Guard (1) down hill, off of a ball screen. The weak side defender helped on the roll, so USC skipped it to the opposite corner for an open three point shot. See More

Michigan beat #2 seeded Louisville, to advance to the Sweet 16 of the 2017 NCAA Tournament. Coach Pitino said,You take away Michigan's right-hand, you have a very good chance of stopping them off the bounce.This was in reference to Louisville's struggles to keep Michigan from getting to their right hand. It is no coincidence that Michigan is able to accomplish this, despite their opponents knowing about this strength. The Wolverines do some things, which enable them to maximize their ability to get to their right hand. Look for more of this, from the hottest team in the Country, as they continue their run next week. See More

Kentucky ran this set in their Elite 8 match-up with North Carolina. The set is well designed, as it creates an advantage in the wing pick and roll. The 4 fills to the top, in the case that the opponent tries to ice or trap the ball screen. A quick pass to 4, allows for the lob to 5. If they do not do those things, then 2 should turn the corner, looking to make a play. See More

When building your playbook for next season, we want to give you some things to consider. For example, do your sets have anything that make them easy to scout? Do they all start from different formations? Is it difficult to flow from the base offense, into the sets? Do they all use the same action? Do the sets lack versatility?

The "Elbow Series" below is an example of some sets that check all of the necessary boxes, which make them a solid addition to your playbook. Read More: http://bit.ly/2pbH6L1 See More

"Pistol Invert Flare" uses an invert wing ball screen, as a wrinkle to the traditional "Pistol Action." This is especially effective, if a team is denying the wing entry. I first saw this being ran by the Cleveland Cavs. See More

In a pivotal Game 6 of the 2017 NBA Playoffs, the Celtics were struggling offensively. Brad Stevens is excellent at designing multiple set sequences, to help his team find a rhythm. In the 2nd quarter, the Celtics ran this sequence, scoring on two of the three possessions. The only possession that they did not score was an open 3, which rimmed out. It was a terrific sequence, which kept the defense off balance. See More

"Iverson STS" is a great set, with multiple screening actions. The Iverson cut leads to a small-to-big shuffle screen. Then the 2nd screener from the Iverson cut, sets a down screen for the guard. If there is no shot, the big sets a step-up ball screen. See More
