Favorite Send to FastDrawOakland has made a commitment this season to throwing the ball in to the post to one of the best centers in the league #42 Corey Petros. Their offense has evolved from a dribble drive offense with moments of the Dick Bennett “Movers & Blockers” offense which we actually ran a bit during my time at Portland. Valparaiso has always doubled big to big on post entries so Oakland must have added a play to their arsenal before playing this game. The irony of it is they took the play from Valpo who has been running the overload play for years and added one wrinkle. With the guards cleaning out it opens up the over top lob pass for the 5 if they front. With the flare screen for the 1 it puts the PG as the only back side help and he is guarding the flare cut. When the ball goes into #42 Petros the 4 man #4 Hayes dives right to the rim as his man doubles the center. The only person on that side of the floor available to help is the point guard who is no match-up for a 6’8 power forward. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawMike Brey's Motion's Offense has multiple options depending on the cut and what's available with the read. Here against Duke, Notre Dame came down and ran a 2nd option whereby they incorporate the cross court pass into a sprint ball screen action with their 5 man Auguste - 30. Grant - 22 is so good at getting in the lane with his quickness and ball handling ability that the defense on Connaughton - 24 is forced to help opening up the lane for a baseline cut and lay-up. Mike Brey has really perfected the Irish's Motion set in the last years and his team is adept at executing it to perfection. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Fighting Irish of Notre Dame under Head Coach Mike Brey have been the surprise team of the year in the ACC. Brey's style is hard to copy as the Irish use multiple cuts and screening actions in their offense to score. In the game Wednesday night against Duke, this is the Opening Play they ran which really shows clearly how their movement opens up good spacing and the screening actions are so well timed to really force the defense into quick decision making. This was one of the most exciting games of the year and the Irish are moving towards a top seed in the NCAA Tournament come March. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Texas Longhorns "Porch" Flare set. The "porch" is the man-to-man term for the short corner. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawOne of my favorite entries into a typical high-low short corner zone offense. Flare screen sets up a three-point opportunity after time out if needed. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawStanford runs this variation of the Triangle Offense. They use the "pinch post" to flare screen for the guard. He then executes a dribble handoff which can turn into a backdoor on the overplay or two-man action. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawVillanova uses this Pick-And-Roll/Flare combination as a set entry into their four-out/one-in motion offense. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Memphis Grizzlies use this play during the 2014/2015 NBA season to create a post up for their big man. The back screen into pin down decoy makes the subsequent screen the screener action work. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawFlare screen set for your wings, ran to either side. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is a set that gets a flare screen for a post player. A nice play to run in transition or at the end of the games if you need a quick score. The play starts with a dribble handoff and ballscreen. The play ends with a flare for your shooter. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawA nice set for your point guard. Flare screens are tough to defend, and can be very effective if practiced. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawOn December the 25th the Washington Wizards used this play to finish the 1st half against the New York Knicks. Bradley Beal slipped the high ball screen and created defensive confusion. This action opened up a clear path to the basket for John Wall. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis set is out of the Washington Wizards playbook for the 2014/2015 season. They use it to create 3point opportunities. See More
