\u2022 Refers to it as their default or \u201ctermination\u201d offense (quick push in
\ntransition, after UOB that doesn\u2019t score, offensive rebound, etc.)
\n\u2022 Termination = the play, after the play
\n\u2022 They make the basketball court a \u201cmap\u201d taping down important areas on the
\ncourt for players to visualize
\n\u2022 Very big on having program use same terminology, has a sheet of every term
\nused in program
\n\u2022 Like to run their motion higher on court and tape down \u201cmotion line\u201d<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Runs a foot above the block, sideline to sideline<\/li>\n
  • He likes players to take baseline drives in this as there is spacing available<\/li>\n
  • Top of key area = Pocket (like pocket in football)<\/li>\n
  • Pocket = pass<\/li>\n
  • Does not like drives from top of key, no room to make plays<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \u201c(Receiving screen) Slow to cut, (screener) sprint to screen\u201d<\/p>\n

    \u2022 Cutter should always be aware of, \u2018where is my man and where is ball\u2019<\/p>\n

    Types of screens used in Passing Game\u00a0 |\u00a0 Sean Miller Arizona Passing Game Motion<\/p>\n

    1) Away Screen
    \na. Guards looking to curl
    \nb. Posts always screen and \u2018peel back to ball\u2019
    \ni. Get a lot of shots from this
    \nc. 2 players are communicating as post is coming to set away screen and
    \nif there becomes an opportunity for post to change angle, (i.e. pinning defender in, guard spotting
    \nup or spacing to a spot) Post or Guard yells, \u201cCHANGE\u201d
    \n2) Back Screen\u00a0 |\u00a0 Sean Miller Arizona Passing Game Motion
    \na. Use \u2018Fist Up\u2019 = I\u2019m coming to get you
    \nb. \u201cBack screen for a passer\u201d
    \ni. Screener sets back screen then can look to pop for quick 3 if
    \ndefender doesn\u2019t jump to ball c. \u201cBack screen, button hook\u201d
    \ni. If guard jumps to ball, guard takes him into post, reverse pivot post up (Similar to duck in)
    \nd. \u201cSwitch\u201d
    \ni. Screener goes chest to ball, cutter finishes his cut all the way through (Like a receiver
    \nrunning a route)
    \nii. Another good opportunity to \u2018button hook\u2019
    \n3) Flare Screen\u00a0 |\u00a0 Sean Miller Arizona Passing Game Motion
    \na. Only set for good shooters
    \nb. Only bigs set
    \nc. Guard must read man, curl around flare is always open late
    \nd. \u201cSitting Duck\u201d \u2013 guard sitting in help, away from man
    \ni. Guard on O run straight off screen, no need to engage with defender. Run to a spot
    \ne. Screener setting flare can pop back for 3
    \nf. As ball is in air to flare man, big can roll to hoop after screen
    \ng. Miller loves flares vs \u201cswitch\u201d (Finish cut, chest to ball \u2013 like a slip
    \naction on POB)
    \n4) Ballscreen\u00a0\u00a0 |\u00a0 Sean Miller Arizona Passing Game Motion
    \na. Likes posts passing to guards and follow and get action
    \nb. Bigs can set screen and \u201crim run\u201d as opposed to \u201cscreen and roll\u201d<\/p>\n

    Additional Thoughts\u00a0 |\u00a0 Sean Miller Arizona Passing Game Motion<\/p>\n

    \u201cWhen in doubt, move the ball or move yourself\u201d Ball reversals = Good offense
    \nWhen teams switch POBs \u2013 Likes big to slip quick and guard to come off screen and
    \ndrive hard<\/p>\n
