Play BreakDown
With the clock stopped at 13:24 on the game clock
- We have a screen and roll from the perimeter
- The primary defender on the big seems to want to either hedge or switch
- That initial pause causes red #5 to be late getting back to the big who is receiving the ball on the roll
- All three referee positions seem to be dependable and open for a look
- There’s no help defender appearing to really help but rather distract or faint as if he will step up to help
- With that being said, proximity is not ALWAYS primary
- Contact happens on the inside of the left arm
- Missed point of contact at the basket from the trailing defender
Take aways
- Drives to the basket, get to defenders that can hurt us EARLY from all positions
- At the T, continue to walk down towards the play at the basket to stay engaged, stay alert!
Come with a cadence if you have information - At L, if you can’t see DON’T guess, trust the system
- At C, if you have no info, DON’T blow
*Context clue, when the defender goes to block a shot/swat a ball, if the ball doesn’t go with the flight of the defenders hand, this could be telling. (if the defender slaps a ball down and it goes up, we can use the context to help with the decision making if we have an OPEN LOOK)
