Pure magical play design.
Slip flare is applied at the end of a ram screen to a 5 out ball screen (with a pin away to occupy the help).

UConn’s Horns Twist series is a scouting nightmare. 👀
1️⃣ Exit
2️⃣ Ghost Flare
3️⃣ Rip
4️⃣ Wedge Flare
Four options. One beautifully designed series.
Coaches: Which one are you stealing for your playbook? 📝
🎥 Big props to @_BryceCutler. A must-follow!
One of the easiest ways to get the ball inside we found was using this action.
A high ball screen, either use it or reject it, depending on where the low post matchup is, and time the seal to the pass angle. If help in takes away space, easy kick to the ball side corner.
Need a play to attack a matchup in the low post? Here is a common overload play that is started with a down screen action that works to create a low post passing angle.
The Space Ladder
This is the card for Tuesday night. It takes the payoff of the whole possession and plays it small: one drive into open floor, a teammate in the far corner, and one defender forced to choose. It starts there on purpose, because players learn what the space is for before they learn how to make it. Every rung on the card is written the same way, with a setup, a start, a rule and what to look for, so a coach can run it without reading a paragraph. One principle holds the ladder together: each layer stays while the next is added. Form, then speed, then form at speed, then decisions, then pressure, then game pressure. Nothing is dropped on the way up. If a rung stalls, the fix is nearly always the rung below it.
It climbs in five steps. Rung one is on air. The coach calls the help out loud, "over" or "up," and the corner man either stays for the shot or ghosts the baseline. Rung two adds the first decision, a read on the catch. A coach standing on the corner shows it: hand up, drive it, hands down, shoot it. Rung three brings in a guided defence, and the helper is told his answer before he can choose one. Rung four is the dial. Only the on-ball defender's start changes (back to the ball, on the shoulder, or tossing the ball in), so the same drill can be made easier for one player and harder for the next, and the helper has to read where his teammate is before he picks his answer. Rung five is the top, on its own page. Nobody is placed; the coach's pass decides who goes, and the advantage has to be earned by how well the defender chased, first 2-on-2 and then 3-on-3.
This drill won't get you viral on social media but it is one of the most useful tools for developing defenders. Don't open your hips, Guard your yard, chest the drive...
One of my favorite drills: Close the Gate. Trust me, it might look easy, but try it out.
Finlandia no jugará el Mundial pero juega un baloncesto espectacular.
Me encanta esta continuidad sobre inversión en transición diferente a las opciones habituales:
-Ghost desde 45 + Flare de la primera interior que ha corrido
Muchísimas opciones diferentes sin parar el balón
El 80% de los puntos de un equipo vienen de solo 3 situaciones.
El otro 20% es ruido que nos distrae cuando preparamos el partido.
Si controlas estas tres, controlas el partido.
Hilo. 🧵
El Iverson viene teniendo mucha presencia en muchísimos de los libretos de equipos europeos.
Este girito que plantea Bonn para un 4 que pueda echar el balón al suelo, es canela en rama.
Concepto en auge ahora mismo en el baloncesto europeo para castigar el Show:
-Jugar el primero como cebo para provocar que llegue tarde al segundo esfuerzo y no pueda parar al manejador
