This is a very simple yet effective set to get your point guard and big in a middle ball screen using some false motion. The essence of good offense is get two guarding one, and attack the advantage and this set does that extremely quickly. Check out the video below! FMS Blog: Maui Invitational - Top 10 Plays 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 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 set involves a great amount of false motion that can easily be used to create scoring opportunities if you look to exploit any missteps. Have your players not rush the backdoor cuts especially on the weak side opposite of the big as this is a viable scoring cut. If there are any miscues on the handoffs the ball handler can easily fake the handoff and have a wide open lane to the rim. There are lot of great counters you could run out of this such as turn the last backdoor cut into a smash cut or even cross screen for a throwback post feed. See More

This is a great quick action to get you a great look going downhill off a 1-4 flat set. This will get 1's defender turned around just enough to struggle with 5's ball screen especially if he arrives alone. See More

Love this set. I am a huge fan of getting skilled bigs at the top of the key with the ball and space. The misdirection to begin softens the defense up and then there are countless possibilities you can finish this set with. I love the natural push of the drive off of the weave and Chicago action handoff into the flare on the weak side. That flare can be easily mis-guarded and result in a slip and a wide open layup for the screener. I love the built in throw-back, or "shake" action with the ball screen, roll, and corner lift as well. A lot of bang for your buck with this one. See More

This is a very simple way to put 5's defender in a tough situation and a step behind a quick strike action. Notice the motion principles staying true off-ball with Culver adding the flare screen after 2's brush screen on 5. If x5 jumps to coverage early your big can slip to the rim wide open. As with most of Tech's offense were never 100% sure what is a natural occurrence in their true motion offense but nonetheless, this is a simple effective way to help your big arrive alone.

This is another simple set to put x5 behind in his ball screen coverage responsibilities. Very effective yet easy set to run as early offense, in transition, or even late clock. Blog Post: Texas Tech Defense Puts Opponents on Red Alert See More

This is an extremely difficult action to make x5 guard but is incredibly simple to run. We call this "Hot Action" which is a back screen off-ball, followed immediately by an on-ball screen. If the big tags the cutter on the back-screen as he should, unless they are switching, this puts him late to his ball screen coverage. Simple, yet effective.

This is a sample of the organic nature of the Texas Tech offense. It is hard to know whether or not this is a designed action after the floppy with Culver due to the constant player freedom to screen off ball at any time but this does give you a preview of the certain type of actions you will be responsible to communicate through and guard when playing vs. Texas Tech.

This is a sample of the Texas Tech true motion offense. This is not a set play but a picture of the sequences of actions you will have to guard when facing them. In one possession you have to guard: a drag screen, flare screen, slipped step-up screen, a pick & pop, and one last flare screen by the 5 to empty the paint. The spacing struggles at times but they force you into uncommon situations and actions that it presents the opportunity for miscommunication and scoring opportunities.

This is another preview of an action that is beautiful that occurred organically in the Texas Tech motion offense. Of all the actions we prepare our team to guard, we don't guard post up defense to pin down into a double step-up ball screen very well. This action puts great pressure on the rim because of both the athletic ability of Tariq Owens and the vision and beautiful pass by Matt Mooney.

This is a great set to get Culver in space with a side pick and roll with the big sprinting from the stagger and hopefully arriving alone. Great spacing and great setup for their Twins Gate counter that is in my playbank as well. National Championship Game Preview: Texas Tech and Virginia XsOs See More

This is a beautiful set using a decoy spread ball screen to demand coverage and a tight space hand off out of that coverage with a great shooter. The high post flash and back door cut is a page right out of the triangle offense using the "blind pig" action from that offense. See More

Great early offense transition set from the Grizzlies. This is a wrinkle out of their early offense to get Jaren Jackson an isolated post touch. His gravity will pull the single side open for Brandon Clarke's lob. The original wing is still in a free throw line extended position from the Pistol pitch ahead which makes his defender choose to tag Clarke's roll or stay attached to the shooter. Beautiful timing and spacing in this set. See More
