About This Play/Drill

Richard Pitino took the University of Minnesota to the NIT Final where he was matched up against one of the true coaching legends of the game, SMU's Larry Brown.  

Brown was looking to be the first coach to win an NBA, NCAA, and NIT Championship.

This is a great Motion Set vs a M2M defense incorporating the use of the down screen, back screen, and middle ball screen.

The lob option off the back screen is a quick hit action and an effective swing of the ball off the ball screen can catch the defense opening up a possible post pass.
