Play BreakDown
Stop the game clock at 5:40
Lets look at our initial set up for this front court set:
- T has a competitive match up with an on ball screen
- C has a closely guarded not so competitive match up
- L is mirroring the ball
- All- good/dependable positions
As the play continues towards the weak side
- C does a great job forecasting and understanding “what happens next?”
- Corner slash from the key to free up the shooter
Obvious illegal screen due to the screener never being set when contact is created, discipline lead to have a CC by the C
Rule 4 Section 35 Pg. 58
Take aways
- Be in a defendable position to help the crew, maintain OPEN looks
- Referee competitive matchups in your primary coverage area FIRST
- Have a BIG picture mentality to understand what is coming next
- Eye discipline, make sure to look in the right place
