Sun, 16 Dec 2007 08:44:26 +1800

USC's Triangle-and-2 Almost Beats Memphis

Wed, 5 Dec 2007 17:02:22 +1800

USC used a triangle-and-2 defense and just about beat Memphis last night in OT. In fact, USC should`ve won if it weren`t for a missed free-throw to win at the end of regulation. USC held Derrick Rose to just 9 points and Chris Douglas-Roberts to 10 points.

Sun, 2 Dec 2007 22:23:30 +1800

Dwight Howard is simply a man amongst boys. Here he posterizes the Phoenix Suns off of the Pick and Roll. The Magic would lose by two in the end though.

Duke's Full-court Man-to-Man Press

Wed, 28 Nov 2007 07:27:50 +1800

One of the reasons why Duke has been unbeaten so far has been their ability to force turnovers and score easy baskets. Using a full-court man-to-man press, Duke has surprised many teams so far forcing many turnovers leading to points, such as the 3-pointer in this sequence.

Utah Jazz 4-out 1-in Motion Offense

Tue, 20 Nov 2007 07:48:20 +1800

The Utah Jazz are one of the teams that run motion sets with lots of off-ball cutting and screening. It's refreshing to watch great offense executed by great players. This is part of the reason why Jerry Sloan is the longest tenured coach in the NBA. His teams play the game, the way it is supposed to be played.

Louisville's Matchup Press, More than just Steals

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 08:19:44 +1800

Rick Pitino is legendary for his pressing defenses and against Jackson St. it was in full display. While most people emphasize stealing the ball, pressure defense forces the opposing team to play at a pace that will generate more than just steals.

Luol Deng Key Defensive Play for Bulls First Win

Fri, 9 Nov 2007 08:36:14 +1800

I have no doubt that if Chauncey Billups takes the open 3-pointer at the top of the key, the Pistons tie the game and possibly win in OT, they owe Luol Deng on this play.

Kansas head coach Bill Self's name has become synonymous with the hi-lo motion offense. Though fairly complex, the hi-lo is a very efficient offense utilizing the talent of good post players.
