NCAA and NBA Set Plays To Get Open Shots by Joel Machota

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.

NCAA and NBA Set Plays to get open shots by Joel Machota

I watched each of these players below FG attempts from their last 10 games and diagrammed those plays. The players below have some of the highest points per possession ratings in their leagues.

If you could place this data when you upload it onto your website I think it would serve for better understanding.

NCAA

Doug McDermott – Creighton

Points Per Possession: 1.117

Nate Wolters – South Dakota State

Points Per Possession: 1.079

Colt Ryan – Evansville

Points Per Possession: 1.000

NBA

Seth Curry – Golden State Warriors

Points Per Possession: .968

Kobe Bryant – Los Angles Lakers

Points Per Possession: .947

Lamarcus Aldridge – Portland Trail Blazers

Points Per Possession: .949

We have an excellent addition to our team of basketball coaching contributors today with Joel Machota. He is a Graduate Assistant with the University of Detroit-Mercy Men’s Basketball program and in his second year with the program. He has been fortunate to have some great seasons the past few years as Head Coach Ray McCallum and his coaching staff have changed the culture in the last 5 seasons with three 20 win seasons in the last four seasons as well as an NCAA berth in 2011 and an NIT appearance last season. Lastly, his son Ray McCallum Jr. Was just recently selected 36th in the NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings.
