Angola Man Offense by Wes Kosel

This playbook includes 3 man offense plays by the Angola national team. Angola was led by Head Coach Ramon Lopez Suarez and finished second in the 2015 AfroBasket Championships in Tunisia. They started Group Phase on August 20^th and faced off against Mozambique, Morocco, and Senegal. Angola won the first two games and lost a close game to Senegal 74-73 giving up 24 points to their own 14 in the 4^th quarter. Gorgui Diang had a big night for Senegal in that game scoring 24 points and grabbing 9 rebounds. In the round of 16, Angola won another close game against Central African Republic. Angola then easily handled Egypt 83-63 in the quarterfinals, and beat out Tunisia by seven points in the semi-finals. Angola would lose to Nigeria by 9 points in the championship game despite a strong 4^th quarter surge. Historically, Angola has had tremendous success in the AfroBasket Tournament winning 11 golds (more than any other nation). Angola is tied for the most medals with Egypt (both have 17 total medals).

Angola Man Offense – Down and Out

2 screens for 4 who runs into a ball-screen for 1 at the top of the key. 1 dribbles right as 4 pops left. 1 passes to 4 who passes to 2 cutting to the corner for a shot.

Angola Man Offense – Horns Post Lob

4 screens for 5. 1 passes to 5 near the slot. Once 5 has the ball, 1 loops around and gets the ball back on a quick pass. 4 sets a back-screen and 1 looks to make the lob pass. If it isn’t open, 5 sets a down-screen in the left corner and 4 sets a ball-screen for 1.

Angola Man Offense – Reverse

1 passes to 4 who passes to 2. 4 then follows to set a ball-screen as 5 moves to the top of the key. If 5 gets the ball, he gives 1 the ball on a dribble hand-off. If 1 can’t turn the corner, he looks to throw back to 3 who looks inside to 5 posting up.
