Here is a play from the Virginia Cavaliers from last season. The play was used to get Joe Harris a shot in the corner. If Virginia can't get him a shot on the initial cut to the ball-side corner, the ball is reversed sending Harris along the baseline to the opposite corner for a 3-point shot. See More

Billy Donovan ran this Triple Stagger Screen set 3/7/15 vs. Kentucky. This set allows for two shooters to get multiple opportunities to use stagger screens to find open shots. The stagger screens come in three different locations and create different angles for shooters. See More

Chris Mooney and his Richmond Spiders have been very successful on their inbounds plays this year. They beat #22 VCU Rams last wednesday. They used this inbounds play to force a second overtime. Coach Mooney thought that it was important for his inbounds an waited a split second for T.J. (receiver) to get free on the other side of the basket and didn't throw it to him as soon as he slipped free. Coach Shaka Smart remarked that he would love to have that play back again.

Mike Budenholzer and his ball sharing, pass-happy scheme have teh Atlanta Hawks on top of the NBA Eastern Conference Standings. Coach Budenholzer says that he likes seeing his players get on each other when someone strays from his lessons on court spacing, pick and rolls, and pass after pass. The Atlanta Hawks were long know for isolation basketball. They had to change their ways when Mike Bedenholder was hired from the San Antonio Spurs. Now there is balance among all the five starters scoring in double figures. I really liked this Stretch Four Play for Kyle Korver of the Atlanta Hawks.

Gregg Popovich runs really good Elevator sets for shooters, and they all flow out of his half court offense very fluidly. See More

One of the toughest actions to cover in high school basketball is staggered screens. In this 1-4 high set we set two different sets staggered screens looking for mismatches or defenders that trail our cutters. See More

David Blatt been around the Israeli and Euroleague basketball circuit. Including coaching for Maccabi Tel Aviv (they de bezt, alweyz de bezt) and the Russian National Team (Kirilenko, Mozgov, Shved). He coached Anthony Parker back into the NBA. Names don't exactly get the point across, but let it be known, that he has coached winning teams, almost exclusively. And thats the point of the game. From what I can gather Blatt's teams run a lot through a horns offense. Which, if you don't know, puts two guys- one on either- high post (witch's nipple), two guys in opposite corner/wings and starts with the ball handler at the top of the key. It is not a triangle offense, but it does revolve around cerebral players creating space with passing, smart cutting and good footwork. Certainly a proprietor of the Triangle has respect for this, a verySpurs-y set of offensive goals. Everybody needs touches to make this kitten purr. Everyone needs to fill the open spaces that relate to their skill set, and everyone must become a threat when they have the ball.

The Chicago Bulls ran this Sideline Out of Bounds play for Derrick Rose to get an open three pointer for a game winner. The defense was sucked into thinking the play was designed for Luol Deng (3) for the game-winner. See More

Florida’s Center Patric Young had a frustrating performance in the Gators’ Sweet 16 win over UCLA. Billy Donovan opened up their 2014 Elite 8 matchup with Dayton running this Horns set to get Young going early in the game. Florida was unable to get the ball to Young, but did score off a rim attack. See More

Syracuse ran this double pick & roll to get forward C.J. Fair posted up in an iso situation. By setting a stagger for 2, the Orange essentially cleared out any help defense for the isolation. For every play Syracuse ran during the 2013 Final Four check out my eBook, “Championship Execution”. See More

With 2.7 seconds left to play in regulation, the UCONN Huskies had the ball, tied with Saint Joseph's, full length of the court. UCONN's Kevin Ollie drew up this dandy; unfortunately the shot was missed but the Huskies eventually won in overtime. See More

Kevin Ollie may be a young Coach, but his tactical skills are outstanding. Bringing a wealth of experience with him from his playing days both at UCONN and in the NBA, the Huskies sets are well designed with lots of movement and screening actions. This 1-4 set play has three scoring options and is predicated on the ability of the players to "read" the defense. Kevin Ollie is buidling the Huskies back into a contender again after the masterful job Jim Calhoun did in his tenure at the Connecticut school. See More
