Introduction

• This is not the bible, this is what I do.
• U12’s to National Team: we want to build layers of concepts on what they’ve done prior.
• Philosophy matches all the way from youngest athletes to our national team.
• Spain Pick & Roll: I’m sure there would’ve been somebody doing this prior.

Spain Pick & Roll

• Progression from pick and roll, defence has caught up therefore the offence must react.
• Foresee what the D is doing, and catch them by surprise.

Set Up & Teaching Points

• Do not release from the back screen until the roller gets past you.
• Be there for the screen on the PG’s 2nd Bounce.
• Foul line = decision making area for the point guard.
