Cori Close UCLA Lady Bruins Set Play by Dana Beszczynski
Anyone who isn’t following Women’s Basketball out West should be. On Sunday night the showdown between #9 Cori Close UCLA Lady Bruins and the 12th ranked Washington Huskies was a hard fought battle between two great Women’s Basketball Teams.
The UCLA Lady Bruins led by Head Coach Cori Close are one of the top teams in America, and this set play is well designed and offers multiple options.
The dribble entry can be kept for one v one penetration to the open side utilizing the talents of PG Jordin Canada, a speedy, savvy guard with game! Here she gives the hand-off to Kennedy Burke.
The PG cuts under the basket setting up the next action off the wide pin down.
The Post steps up to elbow screen for a possible backdoor pass and on the ball side a down screen for the PG gives an option for a possible shot or quick dump back into the post.
On the throwback to the screener, the option to post the 3 is also there.
Well designed & executed the Lady Bruins are fun to watch!
Today’s update on Cori Close UCLA Lady Bruins:
Coach Close makes a point in walking by the ten banners of the UCLA Bruins’ men’s team won under John Wooden. Coach Close was introduced to Coach Wooden by Steve Lavin, who coached the Bruins at the time. Their meetings spawned regular meetings with Coach Wooden usually on Tuesday nights, for years they remained close till Coach Wooden passed away in 2010. She took his lessons and conversations to heart.
One of the things that Coach Wooden talked with her is being a part of young people’s lives – nothing short of making an experience that helps them reach elite levels of basketball, but prepares them for life.
