A set John Groce ran against USC on Monday night. A lot of action in this set and a lot of opportunites to score off of different screens. Finishes with a Screen The Screener and then roll & replace. See More

Mike D'Antoni said something very interesting about his up-tempo offensive philosophies. He said that if you have the best team, why not try to give your players the most possessions possible. The theory being that the more times that Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash have to execute their offensive brilliance, the better it will be for his team since the opposition's talent won't be able to match them. If the game slows down, all of the sudden your margin for error shrinks and a handful of mistakes can cost you a game. D'Antoni also said that he expects the Lakers to average around 110-115 points per game, which are numbers that haven't been reached since the Nash/Amare combo in Phoenix was broken up. Those two things tell us that the Lakers will be playing at a very fast pace from now on, and despite the popular belief that their roster is too old to run, a free flowing offense is exactly what a veteran team wants in favor of a methodical offense like Boston runs which requires a lot of physical screening and post-up attempts. And having playmakers like Nash and Kobe together only makes this team more dangerous offensively because of his versatile they are coming off of pick-and-rolls. Nash is perhaps the greatest to ever operate a screen-and-roll and Bryant, because of his propensity to shoot, is a very underrated passer. Throw-in the most skilled big man in the league at power forward in Pau Gasol and the best finisher the league has seen since Shawn Kemp in Dwight Howard and we could have the makings of Showtime 2.0. This play that I have designed would make good use of the cavalcade of skill players that the Lakers have. Because of the up-tempo offense the Lakers will be running, the play starts in semi-transition with Kobe handling the ball at the start. I have inserted Jodie Meeks into the line-up for Metta World Peace to add a true floor spacer. The shots that this set produces are all optimal ones based on these players career hotspots and you can run it several different ways with different players on the floor. It is best with this set up, though, with Kobe initiating the action, Nash bringing a ton of secondary concerns and Howard acting as the league's best roll man and lob catcher. See More

A set out of the high post alignment that gets the ball moved side top side. 2 (best shooter) has to set a good screen for 4 to post, but then also gets a downscreen to the top of the key for shot. See More

This is the SLOB ran last night by Brad Stevens and Butler down 70-67 against Marquette with .13 to play. The play used great misdirection in getting Clarke a clean look at a 3 which bounced off, but because of the great weak side rebounding position by Butler, they were able to tap in the rebound cutting the lead to 70-69. A very well designed set by from a timeout situation by the Butler Bulldogs and their great young Coach Brad Stevens. See More

A play from the opening week of the college season. This action is pretty common throughout the country, but I liked how this play has 5 setting a downscreen for 3 and then the second screen of a baseline stagger for the 2. You could finish the play in a hi/lo or side P&R See More

Brown makes the entry pass to Wood who has made a "V-Cut" to the wing Brown goes towards Howell for the UCLA screen and breaks off to the wing for a hand-off with Wood Wood gives the hand-off to Brown and then receives a screen from Howell Wood cuts over the top looking for a possible pass from Brown Leslie clears to the strong side block Howell sets the side PNR with Brown & rolls to the baseline Wood cuts down the middle of the lane and sets a cross screen for Leslie who curls the screen in this situation looking for a pass from Brown Leslie drew a foul on this play Coach Gottfried discussed this exact set during ESPN the Mag College Preview See More

Even though sideline out of bounds plays are more frequent at the NBA level compared to the college and high school ranks, I believe you can add this quick hitter set to get you a bucket. The San Antonio Spurs run their sets to perfection and this SLOB POB Double Up is no exception. If you run this and it gets scouted, I have included a screen the screener option to keep the defense honest and get your best shooter a shot. I hope you enjoy. See More
