Add this move to your game 🏀 👇

Speed Stop Behind 🎒

- Creates separation
- Easy move to learn
- Ton of options after

This is an essential stop option!

Youth players should learn this asap so they have it when they are older!

🏀SPECIAL SITUATIONS: Sneaky Full Court Play

1 sec left. Tied 85-85 in OT.

[Coach Tony Miller @tonywmiller]

STS from Duke, but in reality, gives you 2 or 3 possible scoring opportunities out this BLOB. (h/t @FastModel FastDraw)

[Tom Reisenweber @ETNreisenweber]

Amazing moment in the final seconds of the Eisenhower-Northwestern girls game as the Wildcats call a timeout to honor official Bernie Mackowski. Tonight was his last varsity game in 51 years of officiating! ⁦@PIAASports⁩ #thankyouofficials

Princeton Backdoor

Double back screens into 5-out, reverse into a dribble at, and sell with a step to the ball while calling for it

Blessed by @GCC_WBB commit @IzzieGamble as her “assist”. Humbled and honored to be part of your journey. Love ya Iz🖤💛

The same way we tell recruits to “go where you’re wanted”

Coaches need to take that same advice!

Coach where you are wanted!

MUST ADD ACTION

Away (+) Kentucky MBB

“Away” is a branch of the offensive tree that every team should utilize.

Great way to unbalance the floor in the offenses favor..

[Matt Kramer @coachk6463]

If you have THAT dude (or female version), the junk D is coming soon from an opponent near you.

🏀 The worst mistake we (coaches) can make is to create actions aimed solely at getting that ONE player a shot

🏀 The best actions use all 5 to beat the junk

Great look! Love the Brad Stevens “Winner” aka “Corner Bomb”. Great effort @HGPBasketball

St. John’s Catholic Prep (Md.) edges Holy Ghost (PA) 82-79 in OT after Holy Ghost's Adrien Varella narrowly misses tying 3. Varella finished with a game-high 34 points. @GovChallenge

[Matt Hackenberg @CoachHackGO]

Mark Few... good ball coach

[Matt Hackenberg @CoachHackGO]

Beautiful interior screening to attack a zone

3 wants to make sure to catch well below the free throw line extended so x3 stays engaged instead of getting bumped off

[Coaching U @Coaching_U]

🏀 Oakland head coach Greg Kampe is one of the best in the game at creating open looks for shooters.

In this clip he shows his "Bunch 43" play for multiple 3-point looks, as well as "Bunch 45" that adds a backscreen by the shooter into the action for an easy layup.
