UCLA Offense from South Korea that they've been running at FIBA Asia Cup Women 2017. Rather than passing the ball to 3 on the wing to initiate the UCLA entry, 4 sets a ball-screen for 1. As 1 comes off the screen, 3 loops to the basket and pops for a catch from 1. On 4's catch, 5 sets a weak-side flare screen for 2. 5 then pops out for a catch from 4. 3 sets a rip screen for 4. 5 looks to lob to 4 cutting to the basket. See More

Misdirection into a spread pick and roll ran by Spain at EuroBasket 2017. 3 screens down for 5 into a ball screen to make the defensive coverage late. 3 then clears to the right corner to create a spread look. See More

Screen-the-screener option out of the Oklahoma City Thunder's "Pitch" series. The OKC Thunder normally run this as a misdirection to get Carmelo Anthony an isolation at the logo area after he sets the down screen when x4 has to help as 1 comes off the screen. See More

Elbow ball screen option out of the Oklahoma City Thunder's "Pitch" series. Rather than 1 cutting to the basket then setting a flex screen, he exits to the left corner. 5 sets an elbow ball screen for 4, while 5 rolls to the basket after screen. 3 shakes behind 5's roll. See More

Side ball screen option out of Oklahoma City Thunder's "Pitch" series. 4 passes the ball to 3 then follows into ball screen. 4 fakes the ball screen for 3, then slips hard to the basket. 5 trails right behind 4 and sets a ball screen for 3. If x4 is late on the coverage, x5 is forced to help on 4's slip, meaning there's no support on 5's ball screen. See More

Set is designed to use Wayne Ellington's gravity to pull two defenders onto him when comes off the flare screen from Kelly Olynyk to the strong side corner. Olynyk then sets a down screen for Richardson where he looks to attack on the catch after the inbound pass. See More

Each year, preseason and sometimes during the season, we test our players for assessment purposes. The Decathlon is a good indicator of player strengths and weaknesses. The test consists of ten shooting skills performed for one minute each, one skill right after the other. We have acquired over 25 years of data using this test. As a result, we have a pretty good idea of a player's offensive skill set when it's all said and done. We like to factor these numbers into our selection process. To date, in my 25+ years of coaching, not quite 20 players have scored 200 baskets or higher. The highest is 218. The first 3 minutes set the tone. A fundamentally sound player can score close to 100 or more baskets right out of the gates. We consider the following grade levels and scores very good: Freshmen 160 or more Sophomores 170 or more Juniors 180 or more Seniors 190 or more Skill Level Scale: 000-100 | Poor! 100-115 | Very Low Skill Level 115-130 | Low Skill Level 130-145 | Average Skill Level 145-160 | Above Average Skill Level 160-175 | High Skill Level 175-190 | Very High Skill Level 190-205 | Outstanding!

Moves on the Move In order to break down a defender on the move, we encourage all players to develop a go-to move and counter move. Consider the following points as well: 1. Maintain a speed of 80 mph (80%). 2. Attack the defense right between their eyes. Go right at them! 3. Make your move a stride or two away and attack the defender’s outside shoulder at 100 mph (full speed). 4. Finally, close the gap once you get by them. 5. Be sure to practice these moves on both sides of the floor!!! See More

We take great pride in being the best motion team we can be. Learning to play this way is not easy. I often compare motion to reading. It takes time, but once you know how it's really worth it. In order for our offense to be successful—we must play harder, smarter, and more together than our opponent. Our motion offense helps to coordinate all of our individual skills into a cohesive team unit. No longer will skills be thought of as individual, but rather a contributing asset to our team play. Each player will maintain his own creativity and initiative because our offense is flexible enough to expose such assets. Most often we function with four perimeter players around one inside player. There are also times when we are most efficient with our five best players on the floor. This five out, positionless concept is also the set we encourage all of our youth programs to implement. The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Too often a player is marked as a “big” early in his adolescence, only to stop growing by his freshman year. By this time his skill level is lagging behind the others and the transition back to the perimeter is insurmountable. If you are a youth coach, the greatest service you can do for your players is to teach them the fundamentals of the game and allow everybody to play inside and out. Our best teams have always been made up of highly skilled players who could do it all. See More
