Dean Smith: "Basketball is a team game. But that doesn't mean all five players should have the same amount of shots."

Circle Motion… Team basketball for boys or girls, youth or varsity Reminder: Put your shooters in the corners
Working the gaps of the zone out of the 1-3-1 alignment The baseline player has freedom to roam, or screen (like you see here)
The Tandem 2-3 Zone, rolled up to a 3/4 court press This variation of this defense can be a clock eater (like you see here) Or more aggressive looking for traps near half court - Very versatile!
Two nice options in a easy to read progression 🏀 The forward coming off the slice screen 🏀 The shooter coming off the stagger Can also be ran as a pure isolation duck in for 4, with the stagger occupying the help defense
Circle Motion was our main offense even when we had the best big man I ever coach 20 and 10, area player of the year type of kid Just because it’s 5-out doesn’t mean bigs can thrive
Half-court pressure man: 🏀 No more standing around. 🏀 No more easy ball reversals. 🏀 No more “running through plays.” Pressure every catch. Disrupt every pass.
Tempo presses like Villanova's 1-2-2 are great for forcing transition teams to slow down and work the ball
