This set gets the defense moving prior to a smash ball screen (screening the bigs defender so the big can arrive alone with no ball screen coverage). I love the side changes this set generates, and I love the pin screen for the guard coming back out at the end. I love the screens because of their ability to be slipped in miscommunication situations. A wrinkle could also be the guard who sets the smash screen posting up his defender after lifting the big to the top of the key. See More

This is a great set lifting the 5 up to the nail. 1 is potentially open off the lob on the initial cut. 5 pops off of 1's back cut where his man must tag 1 or he will be open. 5 goes straight into a Rugby action as we call it (dribble handoff with a player inside in the 3pt line looping out and around 5 on the handoff). A counter or wrinkle to this set would be 5 faking the handoff and keeping it himself on the drive. See More

This is a good set from the Florida Gators utilizing the pressure of a hard cut off a backscreen into a Chicago action (downscreen into a handoff) which creates multiple decision situations for the defense. Here Michigan stays hugged up on the perimeter shooters of Florida and creates an easy deep post entry pass. See More
