Wing ball screens can be difficult to guard especially verse teams that run them frequently in their sets or run pick & roll motion. We went to icing wing ball screens to limit their effectiveness. Benefits of this defensive strategy: 1) You keep the ball on the wing, shrink the court and make the ball handler play in a crowd. 2) There are not many guards that excel at the off the dribble mid-range pull up. 3) With the rise in analytics more and more coaches discourage the mid range pull up. 4) The forward/center is limited to mid-range jumpers and threes. 5) Although the three-ball is shot at an increasing clip, there are not many centers that we face that will shoot a high percentage from three. We are ok with the other team's center taking contested threes and mid-range jumpers. In fact most of the centers we face don't shoot them at all or are reluctant. 6) Limiting the shot options to contested threes and mid-range jumpers by the ball handler and forward, the other players that are accustomed to getting kick out threes aren't in rhythm when they finally get touches. 7) Not many teams know how to counter icing wing ball screens. So some coaches will just stop running plays that have wing on ball screens because you can blow up an entire play and stagnate their offense by not letting the wing ball screen happen. See video below for examples. See More

This is a SLOB I got from the Toronto Raptors under Coach Casey. We put it in and we were able to get high percentage shots at the rim or an opportunity to get to the free throw line. See More

The Down Option is our fourth option within our Thirty Series. Again if you can get into Thirty series before the defense is set, use different options and run it on left and right side you can get some high percentage shots and keep the defense off balanence. I encourage you to go YouTube and watch the different ways the Hurry Up/Pistol is ran in the NBA as well as the WNBA. See video below. More 30 Series: Chase Option Keep Option Dribble Option See More

The Dribble Option is the third option within our 30 Series transition offense. Note: This offense can be ran on either side of the court. The point guard choses the side and the 5 and 4 adjust their running lanes accordingly. See video below. More 30 Series: Chase Option Keep Option Down Option See More

The Keep Option is the 2nd option our 30 Series. If 1 sprints hard off 2's shoulder it will force 2x to help or a switch and free up 2 attacking off 5's ball screen. This opens up a lot of options for 2 as she attacks. See video below. More 30 Series: Chase Option Dribble Option Down Option See More

30 Series is a secondary break offense that is at it's best when flowing from transition before the defense gets set. If ran at full speed, with proper spacing and effective screens this offense will create high percentage shots for your team. There are four differnet ways to start the offense and it's all based on reads. We want our young ladies to use different options to keep the defense off balance. I first saw this presented by Dave Severns of the Los Angeles Clippers at the Northern Arizona University Coaches Clinic. This is known as the Pistol or Hurry Up Offense in NBA circles. I haven't seen very many women's programs running this and it can be very effective in the women's game. See video below. More 30 Series: Keep Option Dribble Option Down Option See More

If you have a couple shooters/scorers the single double action, this BLOB will free them up! You could also run this action to isolate 5 in the post. Defenders will be flying out to defend the shooters which opens up the middle for 5 to duck in. See More

Having to defend this BLOB playing verse Coach Spataro at Menlo College, I decided to add this to our playbook! With the screen-the-screener and big on little action you will either get a wide open shot, or force a switch that you can attack. See More

This is a continuous shooting drill that allows our forwards to work on games shots and adds a conditioning element. Once completed on the right side immediately start on left. We like to have each player go through this drill two times then switch shooter. You can add time to increase intensity. We used the video below as inspiration to tailor the drill to our personnel.
