Rice, Catoor, Nickel, Beran. I've got Catoor with continuing baseline cuts and Beran, Nickel as the screeners. Pedulla, Rice screening for each other up top. Most people would want Catoor to take the shot, and the other team is going to defend the hell out of him coming off those screens. One thing that's almost sure to happen is one of the guards will try help on Catoor over the top on the wing (they think he's my first option, and for good reason). That's when we've got to move the ball to our 1 or 2, who will drive it hard into the gap that now exists. This is what we worked for in this possession. Both Pedulla and Rice are good with the ball in their hands. If no one stops then they go and score or get fouled. I love this option and we've got to have this action at least once during the possession or we failed. If the backside post rotates to stop the drive then it's an easy kick to either Nickel or Beran for a WIDE open 3. That's our second best option. Meanwhile the other guard rotates to the top as they should. If their man helps, we kick to them and i INSIST they look to drive in the other gap that now exists. If they get to the goal that's our 3rd best option. So we've got 2 chances at a drive to the goal. Get fouled or score. If they get stopped, Catoor is now at the top on rotation with a wide open look, or the other post is wide open on the weak side. The driver kicks to whomever is the one with the open shot. If we've gone through at least one full rotation (remember we prefer a drive by Pedulla or Rice as #1 and #3 options) and Catoor has an open look off the baseline curl then he takes it. If the other team has managed to defend it and the clock is 5 or less then I want whichever of Pedulla or Rice to drive it anyway and force one of the actions: a) if no weak side help comes then take it to the rim; b) fire it to the weak side post Beran or Nickel if their man helps and they take the 3. If we can't get any of these guys a shot off those actions then we suck and deserve to lose. ** Edited by King of Hokies at 10/24/2023, 4:21:12 AM
