Greg Lansing Indiana State University Sycamores Wing Pick & Roll Offense by Wes Kosel

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.

Greg Lansing Indiana State University Sycamores Wing Pick & Roll Offense by Wes Kosel

Here are 5 wing pick & roll options from Indiana State University Head Coach Greg Lansing. Lansing and his Sycamores finished 2nd in the Missouri Valley Conference behind only the Shockers of Wichita State. The Sycamores were 23-11 this season which marks the highest win total for Lansing since he took over the program in 2010-2011. In four years, Lansing has won 79 games and made it to a post-season tournament each year. The Sycamores played in the NCAA Tournament in 2011, the CIT in 2012, and the NIT in both 2013 and 2014. In these 5 plays, Lansing provides several different ways to attack the defense with a wing pick & roll.
