"🚨 Tim Duncan - Short Roll 🚨 The Spurs were one of the first teams to consistently PUNISH aggressive PnR coverages. This led to teams switching/playing positionless at a really high rate. They were also one of the first teams since the 80s to win consistently without playing a heliocentric style (during the peak of the heliocentric era). Pops innovation without the advanced analytics of todays game was truly remarkable. There is power in touching the basketball. - Popovich"

"🚨 If you INITIATE your OFFENSE through: Floppy try a RIP screen. DHO try a 'Get'. Back cut try a wide pin. Wide pin try a zoom. Low entry try a guard on the low block. Spread PNR try the guard setting the screen/big handling (inverted PNR). 'Away action' try a flare screen/slip. Take any offense and invert the initial action (like 'forwards out' Princeton). This teaches read and react spacing templates and is extremely tough to guard. Simply cue for the counters can be thumbs and thumbs down. Fun way to coach fun way to play engages the creative part of the brain and forces learning through"

"Pick and roll is evolving.

But in [----] the aim of most ball screens at higher levels is to the manipulate the tagger post crack. This is due to aggressive and passive ball screen coverages such as triple switching blitzing and drop that aim to force the analytically favorable mid range shots for the defense. THIS IS USUALLY DONE IN [--] WAYS: - Vertical manipulation of the tagger through actions like 'Spain or Finland'"

"At the youth level dribble drive offense is one of the best ways to teach kids the game. It emphasizes spacing push/pull relationship off of penetration and creating double and triple gaps.

"🚨 If you INITIATE your OFFENSE through: Floppy try a RIP screen. DHO try a 'Get'. Back cut try a wide pin. Wide pin try a zoom. Low entry try a guard on the low block. Spread PNR try the guard setting the screen/big handling (inverted PNR). 'Away action' try a flare screen/slip. Take any offense and invert the initial action (like 'forwards out' Princeton).

"This set is called Finland. [--] action with a RIP screen. Its very efficient at removing the tagger and has many counters such as the STS πŸ‘‡πŸΌ Phoenix Suns [--] STS https://t.co/KSQmYJm0MQ Phoenix Suns [--] STS https://t.co/KSQmYJm0MQ"

"Jon Scheyer and games based approach to development. Most coaches have THEORETICALLY attempted to do this for years. But coaches like Jordan Ott Kenny Atkinson Erik Spoelstra Daigneault etc. are paving the way at the professional level. In [----] I stumbled upon the @BBallImmersion podcast. It opened Pandoras Box for me. I think every coach needs to go through a few paradigms shifts throughout their career to dial in what they are and what they want to be as coach. @hoopherald"

"From an ANALYTICS perspective shooting out of the post is actually very inefficient. BUT Passing out of the post is one of the most efficient actions in half court basketball. Taylor Jenkins uses split action as false motion to create a layup. *** Must add for any level *** Memphis Grizzlies Punch Split 1-5 Cross πŸŽ₯ @John_Leonzo"

"Zeljko Obradovic is WIDELY regarded as one of if not the greatest offensive mind ever. Greg Popovich is directly quoted as saying I steal ALOT of plays from him. So many staples in todays game were being ran by Obradovic [--] + years ago. He teaches very conceptually within a structured system. This is an awesome example of the endless counters involved with Zeljko ran teams in the half court. πŸ‘‡πŸΌ Partizan Floppy UCLA Slice Flex Baseline Stagger @theBasketHead2"

"Joy is a competitive advantage The mainstream perception of good coaching is screaming at players no joking around and no fun on the floor. A lot of coaches players and fans view fun and hard work as an either or. BUT. When JOY AND HARD WORK are in SYNC its game over. πŸ‘‡πŸΌ πŸŽ₯ @Jakobrooks"

"Both Purdue and Alabama are very analytically based programs. But both win the PPP in VERY different ways. Bama was + [--] in total [--] points made; Nate Oats is arguably the best in the country in terms of shot quality. BUT Purdue has the ultimate double edged sword- Oboard % + Braden Smith in PnR. Much of their rebounding success comes from the opposition blitzing or shocking Smith. The short drop gives them an organic [--] on [--] advantage where the low man has to disengage from their big. They had just over 3x the offensive boards last night than Alabama did with [--]. If you dont put two on the"

"Tommy Lloyd is the best coach the average fan has never heard of. From the Mark Few pipeline (and offensive architect for the Zags) his ingenuity around the ball screen continuity is incredible. Most of my personal systems are derived from what he runs. EOG offense - Spread with a shallow cut into a zoom action. Beautiful tag removal πŸ‘‡πŸΌ @MarchMadnessMBB"

"CLAP BACKS = Scoring in transition off of a MAKE. This is a Rick Carlisle special. Clap backs are extremely deflating for the opposition. If you can combine 7-8 clap backs with 4-5 kills (3 stops in a row) you will be nearly impossible to beat that night.

"Two man game savant in Smith βœ… PLUS All time great tactician in Painter βœ… The sheer gravity available to Painter and Co. when Smith has the ball in his hands gives maximum spacing in the half court.

"STICKY WORDS SUNDAY Rick Carlisle TWO SIDE spacing in transition: - Positionless (outside of Hali) - Corners occupied - Emphasis on inbound after a make (clap backs) - Rim Runner - First [--] steps are everything (Race read race @BBallImmersion) - Secondary transition is typically Pistol; occasionally a delay - Hali seams the tunnel or the sideline equally well on the outlet Indiana INCREASED their PPP in the post season (on the same volume) leading to Joe Mazulla saying the Pacers were their toughest out in the playoffs [--] years ago. For LOWER LEVELS: Pace is more enjoyable for players tougher"

"At the youth level dribble drive offense is one of the best ways to teach kids the game. It emphasizes spacing push/pull relationship off of penetration and creating double and triple gaps. Naturally this teaches read and react vs a script. I think its easy to fall in love with sets because they often work well at that age but lost in translation is simply playing the game. DDM is used at every level for example Kentucky and the principles transcend every system they will encounter in the future. πŸŽ₯ @EricFawcett_ https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2017727990164308198"

"Sticky Words Sunday THE SAME ACTION WITH MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS MULTIPLE ACTIONS WITH ONE SOLUTION. Sets are dependant on COVERAGES. As a general rule concepts come before sets in terms of development and overall game play. This simply means that if you cant make a decision based on the coverage the action will typically only work once or twice. Conversely as coaches using sets that weve seen online/from other teams are only effective if we know the coverage and coverage solutions they should be implemented against. For example- Real Madrid uses a Horns flare and a Horns flare twist to counter"

"Heavy ball screen teams (Bs continuity Spread Pistol etc.) need to have an EMPTY REJECT counter to keep the defense from loading/blowing up the screen. Charlotte and Charles Lee do this incredibly at the NBA level. Bill Self does this incredibly well by FLIPPING ball screens at the D1 level. Our iteration out of pistol is to empty the strong side with a FLOPPY TOUCH and then into a reject depending on the POA defenders hips. Weakside ideally replaces/flares to remove the tag.

"I dont mind the Horry straw man there but Russell is the better play based on my baseline criteria for goats. Update: Klutch just updated their straw man arguments in their [----] PR for goat. It says to always use Bill Russell when your told that 1st place is better than 2nd place and when your countered with its an [--] team league then youre supposed to use Horry.
