Favorite Send to FastDrawColorado under Head Coach Thad Boyle have gone 79-39 over the last three years. Boyle is now in his 4th season. The Buffs are now up to number 20 in the latest poll before the start of Conference Season against Oregon State. This is a nice play out of their Ball Screen Motion as coming off the SPNR, the wing reads the defense running into the lane to set a cross screen freeing up the post for a pass down low from the top. Spencer Dinwiddie and Askia Booker are two exciting high profile players to watch this year in PAC 12 play for Colorado!! See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawLast night in their loss to the Florida Gators, the Memphis Tigers ran this post-up action to get Goodwin and Nichols playing a two-man for a hi-low. With limited size coming off the bench for the Gators, Memphis really attacked Florida's bigs trying to get Patric Young and company in foul trouble. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawMark Turgeon is in his 3rd season with the Terps and led them to a 25 win season last year and an appearance in the NIT Semi-Finals This is a nice play which gives the shooter the option to read the defense and take advantage of what is given With Dez Wells, the Terps have an experienced player handling the ball with the ability to set-up the play as Coach Turgeon needs Layman is a lights out 3 pt shooter and in this play, he reads the defense jumping off the screen, quickly reacting, he cuts backdoor for a possible quick hit pass Wells makes the play work by coming back, receiving the hand-off and hitting the former Michigan State big man Smotrycz for an open 3 See More

Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is a pre-set that is a variation of Zipper. The pre-set is what is called "Utah" action as it is a back screen for the post that looks similar to Zipper action.

Favorite Send to FastDrawThis past week our team was very fortunate to compete in the King of the Bluegrass Holiday Classic outside of Louisville, KY. This tournament is one of the best in the Nation with the best teams in Kentucky in attendance. This action below was one that the #1 team in Kentucky, Ballard High School, ran to post up their Center (who is heading to Butler). See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Portland Trailblazers ran this zipper cut flare action in the 1st half of their win over the LA Clippers last night. Portland head coach Terry Stotts does a great job emptying out the weak side to open up the flare screen. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawGame winning play drawn up by Philadelphia 76er's in their win over the Brooklyn Nets. Evan Turner was the 2 in this situation. 5's man has to be careful to not get too close to 5 as 5 pops to the elbow, or 5 could back cut to the basket. Giving a cushion allows the ball to be inbounded. 4-2 screen is tough to switch, as is 5-2 dribble hand off. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis past week while in Louisville for the King of the Bluegrass we were fortunate to watch NCAA Division 2 powerhouse Bellarmine University practice before taking off a few days for Christmas. Their practice was very impressive. The amount of energy and communication throughout the entire practice is exactly what our team needed to witness. This shooting drill is one they opened up practice with and allowed to get up a ton of shots in a short amount of period. The drill incorporates the 3 main spots on the floor (top of key and each corner) and 3 different shots at each spot. The line under the rim passes to the "spot" and then closes out to the ball, the player receives the pass and shot fakes before making a 1 or 2 dribble attack before passing to the 3rd spot. After passing (or shooting) follow your pass (shot) to the next line so each player performs each shot type at all 3 spots. I believe the goal of the drill was to score somewhere around 155 points; 3pt=3, 15 ft=2, lay-ups=1. Below are the shots that each player must perform at each spot: Corner 1 3 pointer Catch & rip 15 footer Catch & rip and finish at the rim/floater Top of the Key 3 pointer Catch & rip step-back 15 footer Catch & rip finish at the rim with a power lay-up / up and under Corner 2 3 pointer Catch & rip 15 footer Catch & rip and finish at the rim/floater Special thank you to Scott Davenport for allowing us to watch his practice.

Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Lady Blue Devils of Duke have a veteran team back this year in the ACC led by Tricia Liston & Haley Peters. This play is a dribble entry action designed to get a quick post-up action for the 5 or get the best shooter free off the double staggered screen. Joanne P. McCallie is in her seventh season at Duke and has won three ACC Coach of the Year Awards during that time. Coach P has guided the Blue Devils to a 174-35 overall record, a 77-13 mark in ACC action and six NCAA Tournament selections, including a No. 1 seed in 2009 and four straight Elite Eight appearances. The Lady Blue Devils are currently 12- 1 overall their only loss coming to the UCONN Lady Huskies. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is another drill that I got from watching Bellarmine University practice last week. This is a great drill because it not only works on scramble situations having 4 players defend 5 in the half-court, but it also forces the offense (new defense) to sprint back after change of possession to prevent any easy lay-ups. After making your one transition stop after a made shot or the defense secures the rebound and repeat the drill the other way. Make sure you switch the offense and defensive teams who must scramble each time and rotate the players that are back. Do this drill for time or until a team reaches a pre-set point total. See More
