It’s always interesting to see the trends around the world in different leagues. Here is Dubai and Buducnost running similar empty ghost to Spain Pick And Roll plays on the same night of the Adriatic League playoffs.

Ed Cooley went old school with the EXTREMELY tight flex offense he liked to mix in at Providence, a nod back to one of basketball's earliest actions.

Drake using "Peja" (back screen into handoff) actions in their win over Kansas State.

Cincinnati with a Floppy Rip action for a lob. I love how the Cincinnati player straight up took his cut all the way out of bounds to clear out and create the space required for the lob. Whether a planned movement, a read, or an accident--it worked brilliantly.

BYU game opener:

Away-Touch-Rip-Screen The Screener

Kevin Young still found time today to draw up a beauty.

Great movement to set up the action in this Ghost-Ram-Spain set from Norfolk State.
December 10, 2024 at 8:45 PM
Indiana Triple Ball Screen option.

Not too many teams are going into the season talking about how to guard this one.

UConn getting back to one of their classics from last season's championship run with the Horns Skip Wide Chicago.

Cincinnati running "Cyclone" and then later running a pin-out counter.

Tons going on in this nasty Oregon State set:

Horns--Stagger Reject--Chicago--Rip

Nice play design by NC Central to use a pin down curl to set up an elevator for Po'Boigh King.

Maccabi Tel-Aviv's Flare Screen The Screener is as clean of a lob ATO as you'll ever see.

A couple of "Cyclone" looks early in Tuesday's games:

1) Missouri with a somewhat traditional look
2) Cincinnati with a ghost STS variation

Louisville with an easy two off their Shuffle Swing Lob.
November 28, 2024 at 2:06 AM
This Chin Shallow Pick And Roll from Dayton was tough.
November 27, 2024 at 5:15 AM
Kennesaw State with one of the most unique veer plays I've seen this season in their upset win over Rutgers, combining a shuffle action to set up a screen the screener with a pick and roll veer.
November 24, 2024 at 9:06 PM
Cincinnati--77 Spain
November 23, 2024 at 9:06 PM
Duke--Zipper Flare Slip
November 23, 2024 at 4:57 PM
Drake with a beautiful Peja Empty Spain out of a timeout. Great pace and execution here.
November 21, 2024 at 6:57 PM
This Through—Swing—Angled Pick And Roll—Lob ATO from Kansas is gorgeous. Everyone on the floor is doing their job on this one.
November 20, 2024 at 5:56 PM
Kansas with everyone's favorite set--Blind Pig.
November 20, 2024 at 3:11 AM
Louisville with the absolute perfect baseline out of bounds play against a switching defense.
