In this flex option, the Jazz get into the play with a dribble entry and a back-screen for 4 at the top of the key (just as in "Flex Stagger"). Instead of 4 setting the flex-screen, 2 cuts to the wing off of the staggered down-screen from 5 and 3. Once 2 has cleared, 5 sets a flare-screen for 3 who cuts to the corner for a shot. See More

This play starts with a dribble entry from Wall to the right wing. The dribbles pushes Beal up to replace Wall, then Beal cuts off of Nene at the high post. If the cut isn't open, the Wizards use right to left action with a ball-screen on the wing for Wall and a double screen set for Beal in the lane. Wall looks to score on the ball-screen, pass to Nene on the roll, or kick out to Beal on the wing for a shot. See More

In this 1-4 high play from the Wizards, they use multiple hand-off options around Gortat to look for quick shot. If neither hand-off option is there, Pierce and Wall set a screen for Nene at the elbow as he dives down to the low post. If Nene isn't open, Gortat kicks the ball out to Beal. Gortat then screens down for Wall who cuts to the top of the key for a shot. See More

Wing Deny/Close Out Drill Teaching Tips: When Coach has the ball at top of circle both defenders are denying v-cuts Goal #1: knock away deflection Goal #2: force offensive player to catch going away from the basket with his/her back to the rim Force offensive players to baseline checkpoint. DO NOT GET DRIVEN OVER THE TOP! Monitor close out technique If offensive player attempt to drive middle, reach step and force your man back up the rooftop As the player you're guarding moves closer to the rim on v-cut, close the space. As they move to perimeter, stay in deny stance but move closer to the ball. Drill Advancements: Coach attempts to penetrate. Wing defender DOES NOT open up to help seal drive. Instead he/she stays in deny stance and "plugs the drive with butt" Wing player attacks baseline. Help defender helps to seal drive outside the lane Allow wing players to cross screen for one another Instruct wing player to attempt an over-the-top drive every time they catch. Defeders should reach step and force ball-handler back up the rooftop. See More

Today's play comes from the 2005-2006 Florida Gators. This is an oldie but a goodie, I love rub cuts that lead to post-ups. What I like even more about this play is the hi-low at the end of the play that resulted in Joakim Noah having a direct drive to the rim. See More

Duke ran this play to free up Winslow going to the rim and once the ball is reversed it turns into a post iso for him. Okafor screws the play up by not moving to the weak side block, but Duke ends up getting a basket on a post move from Winslow. If Okafor would have slid over to the opposite block and ducked his man in, Winslow would have had a lob dunk after the back screen from the point guard. See More

Objective: Drill for jumping to the ball in deny stance Defending long fast basket cuts Denying out and forcing catches going away from the basket Make sure on the ball defenders follow "rooftop rules" with their stance and angle. Drill Advancements: When the ball is on the wing and the cutter is emptying, have wing player make a baseline drive so defender must sit on midline and help on drive (don't chase cutter without losing sight of the ball) Coach calls "Live!" at any time and the drill becomes 4v2 Live with the two defended players as the cutter and the undefended players as screeners.
