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.

In this play, 1 passes to 3 then cuts into the lane to the opposite low post. 3 dribbles towards the top of the key as 4 screens down for 2 with 2 curling into the lane. If 2 isn’t open, 3 continues to dribble as 4 screens for 1. At the same time, 5 screens for 2 giving 3 the option to pass to 1 or 2 on the wings for a shot. If 1 gets the ball with no shot, he looks to pass to 4 posting up inside.
