This is an extremely difficult action to make x5 guard but is incredibly simple to run. We call this "Hot Action" which is a back screen off-ball, followed immediately by an on-ball screen. If the big tags the cutter on the back-screen as he should, unless they are switching, this puts him late to his ball screen coverage. Simple, yet effective.

This is another simple set to put x5 behind in his ball screen coverage responsibilities. Very effective yet easy set to run as early offense, in transition, or even late clock. Blog Post: Texas Tech Defense Puts Opponents on Red Alert See More

With 5:57 left in the 3rd quarter of their matchup with Oregon State, Lousiville's women's team ran this Horns quick hitter to get multiple options - in this case a strong post isolation off a skip pass. Other options would include a curl layup off the double stagger, a kickout three, or a skip three. See More

Michigan State ran this set with multiple actions to either get a layup off of the back screen or a three off of the down screen. Screening before receiving a screen occupies the defender and hopefully frees up the shooter more. See More

This is a set that Izzo has ran for years, so it is no surprise that he dusted it off for the 2019 NCAA Tournament. It features an option for a post feed, or a shooter off of a triple stagger screen. Check out the Final Four team breakdown on the Spartans below! See More

LSU ran this set in the 2019 NCAA Tournament, to get an easy lay-up in their second round match-up. They show a horns look, with the guards crossing on the baseline. It is actually a designed diagonal screen to punch the ball inside to the big. See More

With 33 seconds left in the third quarter of their Round of 32 matchup with Missouri State, Iowa State's Women's team ran this 1-4 high set to get a post isolation for 6'1" forward Madison Wise, taking advantage of a matchup with a smaller defender. The key to this was Wise's ability to change pace and speed coming across the top of the key; the timing allowed her to keep the defender on her back as she established position on the mid-post. Iowa State ran this to perfection late clock and ended up sending Wise to the FT line to cut the Missouri State lead to 4 going into the fourth. See More

Love this set. I am a huge fan of getting skilled bigs at the top of the key with the ball and space. The misdirection to begin softens the defense up and then there are countless possibilities you can finish this set with. I love the natural push of the drive off of the weave and Chicago action handoff into the flare on the weak side. That flare can be easily mis-guarded and result in a slip and a wide open layup for the screener. I love the built in throw-back, or "shake" action with the ball screen, roll, and corner lift as well. A lot of bang for your buck with this one. See More

This is a great set to get a deep post up for your 5. This can be adapted to post up any mismatch you feel you might have. See More

This set involves a great amount of false motion that can easily be used to create scoring opportunities if you look to exploit any missteps. Have your players not rush the backdoor cuts especially on the weak side opposite of the big as this is a viable scoring cut. If there are any miscues on the handoffs the ball handler can easily fake the handoff and have a wide open lane to the rim. There are lot of great counters you could run out of this such as turn the last backdoor cut into a smash cut or even cross screen for a throwback post feed. See More

This is a great set lifting the 5 up to the nail. 1 is potentially open off the lob on the initial cut. 5 pops off of 1's back cut where his man must tag 1 or he will be open. 5 goes straight into a Rugby action as we call it (dribble handoff with a player inside in the 3pt line looping out and around 5 on the handoff). A counter or wrinkle to this set would be 5 faking the handoff and keeping it himself on the drive. See More

This is a good set from the Florida Gators utilizing the pressure of a hard cut off a backscreen into a Chicago action (downscreen into a handoff) which creates multiple decision situations for the defense. Here Michigan stays hugged up on the perimeter shooters of Florida and creates an easy deep post entry pass. See More
