About This Play/Drill

Michigan State Head Coach Tom Izzo has one of the most extensive offensive playbooks in Division I.

Here is a a version of the old NBA "Hawk" set

PG dribble enters clearing the wing and then the "Hawk" screen is set sending the 2 guard ball side for a possible quick hit pass

The play continues with a double stagger for the cutter off ball reversal and then when nothing is open a quick throwback to the wing for a screen-the-screener action trying to free the 5 under the basket

If nothing in the Post is free, the screen is set at the FT Line and the 5 having relocated sprints-to-screen at the TOK
