Richard Pitino Minnesota NIT Champion Motion Offense by Dana Beszczynski

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

Brown was looking to be the first coach to win an NBA, NCAA, and NIT Championship.

This is a great Motion Set vs a M2M defense incorporating the use of the down screen, back screen, and middle ball screen.

The lob option off the back screen is a quick hit action and an effective swing of the ball off the ball screen can catch the defense opening up a possible post pass.
