Nick Nurse (and Dwane Casey before him) have used “62 Flip” – a play that disguises itself as a typical off-ball action but is really a ball-screen play. The Toronto Raptors debuted it in their playbook during the 2018 playoffs and have continued to use it during the 2018-19 season. A set that gets their players in motion to keep defenders moving, "62 Flip" is used in typical half court scenarios. See More

Hammer plays are commonplace across the NBA, and Nick Nurse has several different pet plays that utilize this action. Typically run in after timeout scenarios for their best catch-and-shoot players, this play and formation is out of the “Triangle” and the Toronto Raptors' spacing reflects that. With a big on each elbow, the weak side of the floor forming a triangle with a guard in the deep corner and the other near the hashmark, as well as the ball handler initiating the play from the slot extended.

This play, a staple of the San Antonio Spurs offense for years, has become a pet-play of Nick Nurse’s to start the game or half. Put into the Raptors playbook in the middle of the season, this play is used for Kawhi Leonard, Pascal Siakam, and Marc Gasol to get a post touch. The first option is for a post-up to score, but the second option/counter involves a kickout pass to leverage aggressive off-ball defense against itself. See More

This is a good quick hitter set to use against a match-up 2-3 zone. Baylor was able to execute and get a basket versus Syracuse during the 2019 NCAA Tournament. Blog Post: Baylor Bears - Zone Offense Breakdown Diagrams: Inside Ball Screen vs 2-3 Zone Stack Back Screen Lob vs 2-3 Zone See More

Fenerbahce ran this SLOB to get Kelsey Plum into space and downhill attacking the rim. A simple action to create an overload on the inbound side and a wide open half of the court on the other. See More

Texas Tech sees some early success with this action. Using a blur cut in combination with a flare screen, with the ball being driven to the middle the FLARE is a way to OCCUPY the help defenders. Opening up the lane to the rim. National Championship Game Preview: Texas Tech and Virginia XsOs See More

This is a great set to get Culver in space with a side pick and roll with the big sprinting from the stagger and hopefully arriving alone. Great spacing and great setup for their Twins Gate counter that is in my playbank as well. National Championship Game Preview: Texas Tech and Virginia XsOs See More

This is a great counter to their double stagger side pick & roll set you can find in my playbank as well (Twins SPNR). This is a creative design from Coach Beard and staff. National Championship Game Preview: Texas Tech and Virginia XsOs See More

This is another preview of an action that is beautiful that occurred organically in the Texas Tech motion offense. Of all the actions we prepare our team to guard, we don't guard post up defense to pin down into a double step-up ball screen very well. This action puts great pressure on the rim because of both the athletic ability of Tariq Owens and the vision and beautiful pass by Matt Mooney.
