Mike Krzyzewski Duke Blue Devils Early Offense

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.

The Mike Krzyzewski Duke Blue Devils Early Offense is something that you will want to check out. Here is why:

Coach Krzyzewski is a master when it comes to set plays and putting his players in a position to best utilize their talents to score.
This action they ran most of the night against Kansas with good consistency.

With the trio of Guards at Coach Krzyzewski’s disposal, the middle ball screen at the end of the set is lethal as the defense has to decide how and where to help from as you have shooters all around the perimeter and talented big men inside who can finish at the ring.

The beginning of the play with the wide pin down can also lead to good reads of either flares or curls and then the back-screen sets up the possible lob action to the ring.

The Duke Blue Devils have talented players everywhere, enough to field a couple of starting lineups. Mike Krzyzewski could have his deepest roster in 37 seasons at Duke. He could play over 10 players and they could see significant playing time, if Mike Krzyzewski elects to go that route. History says he will not for various reasons ranging from injuries to inexperience to varying talent levels.

Coach Krzyzewski likes to rely on a six- and seven-man rotation to win 970 games and five national championships. 30 of his 36 teams have used 6 to 7 players to post an outstanding season after outstanding season. Five teams went eight players deep, and only the 1997-98 club used nine players for significant minutes.

This Mike Krzyzewski Duke Sqaud is loaded like no other before with McDonald’s All-Americans. Eight players on the current roster were McDonald’s All-Americans, and only an injury a season ago prevented Giles from joining the group. They have a full allotment of 13 scholarship players this year for the first time.
