@GameWreckerBB@FastModel The gravity of the shooter (2) lifting out of that down-screen completely empties the weakside paint. By the time the low tag helper realizes whatβs happening, the 5 has already hit the rim on the rip screen. Beautiful design to exploit defensive panic.
@MaxPozios Baylorβs execution in 5-Out looks is always a masterclass, but that Point Over Flare Zoom is incredibly tough to scout. Fusing the flare screen immediately into a zoom action forces the defense to make two high-level communication choices in a 3-second window. Elite compilation.
@BBCoachDotCom@THEVALLEYMBB@CoachGreGHeiar@ChampProduction Simple alignments that hide multiple options are always the toughest to scout. A "Line Curl" look like this completely messes with defensive switching rules on the baseline, especially if you have a 4 or 5 who can pass or slip out of the stack. Solid set.
@rmounce1 Love this approach for a warmup. Getting away from traditional, mindless lines and forcing decision-making out of an advantage/disadvantage scenario right from the jump is huge. 8-second clock keeps the intensity exactly where it needs to be.
@JaredMartyMN The beauty of the Princeton system is how modular it is, and fusing the Twirl concept into the Point series is lethal. It completely weaponizes the defense's tendency to overplay or cheat the original screen. Great share!
@TheHoopHerald@grbball_1 This is exactly what separates good guards from elite ones. If you don't have a deep finishing bag and the footwork to match, length will swallow you up in the paint. Love the emphasis on the ground game here. π―π
