  • Randy Bennett St. Mary's 2017 Final Four
    Randy Bennett – 2017 Final Four – PICKANDPOP.NET Randy Bennett St. Mary’s 2017 Final Four – Phoenix, Arizona -Two things in the last 30 years have changed the game: 1. Three-point line 2. Use of on-balls (pick & roll) -We were ahead of the game with using the pick & roll as our primary offense. The rage then in the college game was “Dribble Drive Motion” but our guards weren’t athletic enough to just blow by you. They were good, but they needed help to get that penetration. We studied Mike D’Antoni’s Phoenix Suns teams and thought it fit nicely with our personnel. -On-balls are a talent equalizer of sorts. The on-ball gives you the advantage/penetration and everything goes from there. -Why on-balls? 1. Create penetration (leads to layups, 3’s, and free throws) 2. Create mismatches 3. Gets their bigs away from the rim (makes x5 cover more floor / gets him away from rim) 4. You can hide a 5-man that can’t score 5. You can get your 5-man easy baskets (rolls, drop-offs, offensive rebounds) -So much of our scouting gets down to “How are they going to defend our on-balls?” -I’ve heard the D’Antoni thing about slipping the screen early and I’m not saying he’s wrong, but we teach our bigs to set a good, hard screen. If there’s one thing my guys are sick of hearing me talk about, it’s actually setting the screen. You have to make the big help.

  • John Calipari Dribble Drive Motion 5 Offense
    John Calipari Dribble Drive Motion 5 Offense It's been a while since I've revisted the dribble drive offense with any depth and since John Calipari's DVDs have finally debuted, I thought I would release the hounds with Calipari's version of Walberg's system. There a few continuity-based halfcourt sets that Calipari has added to the system while at Memphis and will likely use at Kentucky. It will take a few posts to get them all through, but this is the first one. Motion 5 To preface the diagrams, remember that at all times the goal of the offense is to get to the rim. Once a player gets into the 'rack zone', DDM terminology for 'in the key', the goal is to dunk it (or layup). Ordinarily, O5 is down low, but in this case O4 is down low and O5 is up top. The continuity starts with O1 trying to beat his defender off the dribble. If he cannot get past, he passes to O2 who comes straight up from the corner. O1 loop cuts to the corner after the pass O2 attempts to take his defender off the dribble by turning the corner with a middle drive. O5 relocates cross the lane up top. O3 steps up out of the corner to the opposite free- throw line extended. O4 relocates block to block. If O2 is unable to turn the corner, he can find O4. If O4 is not open, then the pass goes to O3, The same action repeats except with O3 driving and O1 in the opposite corner coming up to the opposite free-throw line extended, Now, you can run that action over and over again, just like any traditional continuity offense like a flex, etc.

  • How Basketball Is Evolving Into a Binary
    HOW BASKETBALL IS EVOLVING INTO A BINARY GAME: DUNK OR BOMB Recent evolutions on the use of the three point shot in the NBA, Euroleague and the Belgian EuroMillions Basketball League Pascal Meurs 20/1/2019 Basketball is an ever evolving sport. Since the success of the Golden State Warriors in the NBA over the last seasons, the number of three point attempts are rising exponentially. The Warriors have in Steph Curry and Klay Thompson two of the all-time best shooters who have extended every notion of shooting range almost up to half court. Last year, the Houston Rockets with James Harden finished the season taking more threes than two point shots! Whether this crazy amount of threes is a justified shot selection, is pure mathematics. Whenever you hit those shots at a percentage that is high enough, it is a good shot because it results in 3 instead of 2 points. And the combination of more focus on shooting, better coaching and transforming player profiles makes that the percentage of hitting three point shots is going up in the NBA, despite the higher volume in shots. Nowadays, in a regular NBA game, almost all shots are either lay-ups/dunks or either three point shots. Older players like Chris Paul and Dwayne Wade seem to be some of the last survivors of a so- called mid-range game. And the fans … they seem to LOVE it, since the NBA keeps expanding its global popularity worldwide. The idea prioritize ‘high percentage shots’ is not new though. Already in 1993, Vance Walberg (former NBA assistant coach) was founder in 1997 of the Dribble Drive Motion Offense.

  • Four-On-Four Defnsive Transition Drill Four-On
    NEWSLETTER #46 - 2007-08 FOUR-ON-FOUR DEFNSIVE TRANSITION DRILL 1. The drill begins with live four on four action taking place at a basket. On the shot by the offense or the command of "change" by a coach, a conversion takes place. If a shot is taken two forwards or bigs attack the offensive glass while the two guards get back on the shot. A coach is assigned the offensive rebounders and a second coach is assigned the two guards "getting back." 2. On the conversion, all four defenders must cross the halfcourt line in 2.5 seconds or the drill stops and the four converting defenders will run. As the drill continues the defense gets set and live four on four action takes place at the other end. Once again, on a shot by the offense or the command of "change" by a coach, a conversion takes place. There is no out of bounds. This action takes place for several minutes. The coaches are paying particular attention to offensive rebounding, getting the guards back on the shot and making sure all four defenders cross halfcourt in 2.5 seconds or less. 3. To ensure more shot attempts the shotclock can be shortened for the offense promoting more rebounding opportunities and more conversions. FOUR-ON-THREE OFFENSIVE MOVEMENT DRILL 1. The drill begins with a coach having the ball on the baseline under the basket. Three defensive players are facing the coach. There are four offensive players surrounding the three point line. 2. The coach passes the ball to one of the four offensive players.

  • Dribble Drive Motion Offense
    Notes on the Dribble-Drive Motion Offense - the Basics From the Coach’s Clipboard Basketball Playbook,@ http://www.coachesclipboard.net The "dribble-drive motion offense" is one of the latest, popular offenses seen at the college, pro, and high school levels. The original innovator is Vance Walberg of Fresno City College and Pepperdine, and now assistant coach at UMass, and he called it his "AASAA" offense... meaning "attack, attack, skip, attack, attack". At the college level, coach John Calipari has popularized it, modified it, and renamed it the "dribble-drive motion offense". Guard dribble-penetration is the key, and dribble-penetration is one of the most difficult things for a defense to stop... plus it exposes the defenders to picking up fouls, and gets us to the free-throw line. Keys are: spacing creating gaps Vance Walberg attacking with the dribble-drive. This is a guard-oriented offense that features spreading the floor and dribble-penetration to the rim for lay-ups or kick-out three-point shots. Coach Walberg uses the term "key or 3" meaning either a layup, or a 3- point shot. This offense uses a 4-out set. O1 and O5 are like double point guards, and their mentality is to attack with the dribble first, and are outside shooters secondly. O2 and O3 are set deep in the corners (and must be patient) and they are shooters first and dribble-attackers secondly. The post player does not look to post-up, but rather plays on the opposite block, elbow or short corner... as this creates more open lanes for dribble-penetration.

  • Basketball Motion Offense by Dr
    Basketball Motion Offense By Dr. James Gels, from the Coach’s Clipboard Basketball Playbook (http://www.coachesclipboard.net/Playbook.html), @ http://www.coachesclipboard.net (http://www.coachesclipboard.net) A motion offense is a flexible offense that utilizes player movement, correct floor spacing, passing and cutting, and setting screens. The origin of "motion offense" is usually credited to coach Henry Iba at Oklahoma State. It was further developed and popularized by coach Bob Knight at Indiana, who utilized screening as a key part of the offense. Rather than running set plays (which can also be run in the motion offense), players move within a basic set of rules. This allows for greater flexibility than just running set plays, and will usually be effective against any kind of defense, whether man-to-man, zone or "junk" defenses. Players can move freely to open areas on the court. Once the basic concepts are learned, special patterns or plays can be designed by the coach to take advantage of his team's offensive strengths. Motion offense can be run with almost any set. The 3-out, 2-in set described in this article features three perimeter players and two post players. This set provides good balance between the perimeter game and strong inside post play, with good offensive rebounding presence. Teams that are not blessed with true post players (and are more guard-oriented) would benefit by using either the 4-out, 1-in motion offense (4Out1InMotionOffense.html), or the 5-out open post motion offense (OpenPostOffense.html). The now popular "dribble-drive motion offense" (DribbleDriveMotionOffense.html) uses a 4-out set and very little screening.
