Gregg Marshall Wichita State Triangle Stack “UCLA” Set Play by Jacob Collins

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.

We have another new basketball coaching contributor in Jacob Collins who is an assistant coach at Massac County Junior High School. I think that you will like his work.

Wichita State head coach Gregg Marshall has had success at every coaching stop he has been at and one of the main reasons is due to his high scoring offense. Coach Marshall believes one of the keys of the success of his offense is that he runs all of his sets out of the same formation, a triangle stack.
Another key is options. Each of his sets has multiple scoring options and the goal is not to run the play but to get the ball in the hands of players in the position that is best for them to score. In this specific set, the Shockers are looking to find their 3 man in the post and also an option for their 1 man to shoot a 3. Even though he runs all of his sets out of the triangle stack, he will move his players around to better fit the set or spacing. For example, you would just exchange your 2 and 3 men if you wanted to post up your 2 man.
