Ball talk is all about strategy and basketball breakdowns for coaches at all levels, with a focus on youth and high school levels. We love to give out quick hitters, offense, defense, and break down of popular college coaches and youth games. We will focus a lot on the Princeton offense since it's one of my favorites.
I've coached basketball for over 15 years at many different levels. I just enjoy all aspects of the game, from culture building to X's and O's. I could spend an entire day on nothing but breaking down film. Thanks for stopping by the channel and I hope it brings you some value.
THis is just a Scouting Report Adjustment to the Blocker-Mover Offense... it is adjusting to the Formation. UVa's O plays so deep that IF Cuse plays the 2-3 Traditionally they would leave Wide Open Wing 3's. It is almost more of a 1-1-3 Zone look from Syracuse
@@Ball_Talk Thanks. Great Video. All it is missing is the point I made about how a Zone doesn't have to limit itself to its base formation. Defending empty space (other than maybe the GOAL) is not Defense. You have to adjust to the Ball and the Offense in your Zone. BTW there is a RU-vid Coach - Coach Al - who has what he calls the Unbeatable Basketball Defense (dubious name)- and it is a 4-1 Zone. This video makes his one look better than I thought it was... and it already looks pretty good. He came up with it for defending 5-Out and 4 around 1 Offense. If Boeheim was basically running a 4-1 at times... it gives Coach Al extra credibility. He's young. Coaches Youth in Canada mainly.
@MercerKnowsBall I know who you are talking about and I haven't looked at in a while but I thought it was a 1- 4 and his 1 was covering a crazy amount of space up front. Now I could be wrong and I can go find it in my G-drive somewhere but like most people I was curious about " the unbeatable basketball defense . " If teams can't pass either option works, ha. My defense of choice is the match up zone ( the Ryan McCarthy Amoeba version) . Like you said, Adjust to the ball and the Offense. I've had low skill level teams in the past , and the match up zone has kept us in the game against far better teams.
@@Ball_Talk He has a Video on a 1-4 Zone too. But I am pretty sure that his "Unbeatable Basketball Defense" is a 4-1. Although I could also be wrong. Its been at least 3 years since I saw it. BTW I HATE the Name he gave it. But if you face 5-Out all the time I could see running it. But yes. LOL. LOTS of Defenses can beat BAD OFFENSE. At my last Coaching job we were often Top 5 or Top 10 Defense in the State and we ran both a 1-3-1 and a Trapping 2-3 Zone with just a little Man sprinkled in. But once we became KNOWN as a 1-3-1 team we also added the 1-1-3 Amoeba (TARK) and a BLOB Defense based on our 1-3-1. Finished 3rd in the State that year. And even though we had kids that KILLED IT from 3 during AAU they couldn't make ANYTHING all Basketball Season. But out DEFENSE carried us everyday. Most teams wanted nothing to do with us. It was our best team ever. Had 1 girl go NAIA, 1 go D3 and a JR on that team that also went NAIA and a 2 Soph from that team - 1 just signed NAIA and 1 D3. Plus had 2 Soccer Players on the team that BOTH signed for NAIA Soccer. We were SMALL but we could DEFEND.
Really glad you posted this video. I am looking to break in as a Head Coach. And I want to remain a ZONE Coach (at least for 50% of possessions depending on personnel). But I have kinda settled on using the Blocker-Mover as part of my CORE Offense. It was good to see how Boeheim adjusted to that Offense and how Bennet adjusted to this wrinkle.
I can see how this can work. You can tweek this to the initial screener pop back to the wing or find the soft in the key as he has his man sealed. I see what you’re cooking here.
@@Ball_Talkthanks I’ve ran circle with mostly random kids for an AAU game and literally taught it with 5 minutes of warm up time before tip off. It worked great and used almost 50 percent of the time. I can only image when I have time to teach and go through the many options. Good stuff!
Great video coach same motions as in man instead it’s played vs zone. Could be used against any defense man or zone? Especially with the same concepts just a little twist
Can you show how this is effective against 2-3 zone? Last season every team we played were either in 2-3 zone or 1-2-2 zone or 1-3-1. No one played us man to man defense.
Mi dispiace coach se ha fatto questi errori; la conoscenza della Princeton Offense e dei principi dev'essere totale. Aggiungo anche che l'insegnamento mostra problemi (vedi non insegnare gli ingressi come una delle prime cose fondamentali). Non nasce come un attacco veloce ma nel caso volesse Mooney è un interprete straordinario. Le auguro il meglio per la sua prossima stagione
Grazie per il feedback. Hai ragione e hai sollevato dei buoni punti. Ho usato Google Translate, quindi spero di aver capito bene i tuoi punti. Grazie ancora.
