It’s always interesting to see the trends around the world in different leagues. Here is Dubai and Buducnost running similar empty ghost to Spain Pick And Roll plays on the same night of the Adriatic League playoffs.
Radford
Ram Follow Smack Pick And Roll
Two gorgeous Horns sets from Purdue last night:
Chin Double Zoom
Miami Shallow
Filthy ATO by Clemson.
Iverson Wedge that veers into a baseline stagger.
📋
Ed Cooley went old school with the EXTREMELY tight flex offense he liked to mix in at Providence, a nod back to one of basketball's earliest actions.
Drake using "Peja" (back screen into handoff) actions in their win over Kansas State.
Cincinnati with a Floppy Rip action for a lob. I love how the Cincinnati player straight up took his cut all the way out of bounds to clear out and create the space required for the lob. Whether a planned movement, a read, or an accident--it worked brilliantly.
BYU game opener:
Away-Touch-Rip-Screen The Screener
Kevin Young still found time today to draw up a beauty.
Great movement to set up the action in this Ghost-Ram-Spain set from Norfolk State.
Indiana Triple Ball Screen option.
Not too many teams are going into the season talking about how to guard this one.
UConn getting back to one of their classics from last season's championship run with the Horns Skip Wide Chicago.
Cincinnati running "Cyclone" and then later running a pin-out counter.
Tons going on in this nasty Oregon State set:
Horns--Stagger Reject--Chicago--Rip
Nice play design by NC Central to use a pin down curl to set up an elevator for Po'Boigh King.
Maccabi Tel-Aviv's Flare Screen The Screener is as clean of a lob ATO as you'll ever see.
A couple of "Cyclone" looks early in Tuesday's games:
1) Missouri with a somewhat traditional look
2) Cincinnati with a ghost STS variation
Louisville with an easy two off their Shuffle Swing Lob.
This Chin Shallow Pick And Roll from Dayton was tough.
I will be boots on the ground for this.
Kennesaw State with one of the most unique veer plays I've seen this season in their upset win over Rutgers, combining a shuffle action to set up a screen the screener with a pick and roll veer.
Cincinnati--77 Spain
Duke--Zipper Flare Slip
Drake with a beautiful Peja Empty Spain out of a timeout. Great pace and execution here.
This Through—Swing—Angled Pick And Roll—Lob ATO from Kansas is gorgeous. Everyone on the floor is doing their job on this one.
Kansas with everyone's favorite set--Blind Pig.
Louisville with the absolute perfect baseline out of bounds play against a switching defense.
Ah, I may have to do the same—I didn’t know it’s something I could compress elsewhere in order to make it able to post. I appreciate the insight!
As of right now Bluesky seems to have some issues compressing videos longer than 15 seconds or so which is limiting me at the moment, but when the time comes—know the X’s and O’s will be flowing. Thanks to everyone who has already followed along.
Cincinnati with the Finland screen the screener action for three.
Texas Tech Over Smack Pick And Roll 🔥🔥🔥
