This set is an example of teaching multiple options, out of one SLOB set. The Houston Rockets do this better than any team in the NBA, and it allows them to adjust to whatever adjustments are made by the defense. I have designed the weak side action in this set to remain the same, regardless of the ball side action. This is to simplify the read for the player with the ball. After the shuffle cut, there are three options, which are triggered by the 4-man. The first option is to pass to the wing, and chase into a ballscreen. The second option is a dribble hand off with the wing. The final option is to pass to the wing, and cut to the block. See More

This is another counter to the double stagger action. The back cut by the 3, makes it look like a set up for a double stagger. As the 1 arrives, the 4 flips to screen-the-screener. The 1, who is usually Toliver, pops for an open 3. The 4 slips to the rim. On the FMS Blog: WNBA Finals - Top Plays Breakdown See More

Belmont won their First Four game, and leads Maryland in their first round game at halftime. Down the stretch of the First Four win, Coach Rick Byrd went to his "popped" series. This is the base set of the series. Belmont will run countless counters out of this set. Belmont is one of the popular sleepers to make a run. Maryland will need to be on the look out for the "popped" series, if they want to avoid the first round upset. #FastModelMadness NCAA Tournament: Viewing Guide by Style of Play See More

Belmont trailed by 1, with 20 seconds left, in their first round match-up with Maryland. Coach Byrd decided to hold for one shot, and ran the counter to their "Panic Backdoor set." It is a great late clock action, but the ball pressure led to a deflection. It is worth having in your back pocket as a pressure release at the end of games. #FastModelMadness NCAA Tournament: Viewing Guide by Style of Play See More
