The baseline runner to replace that cutter is an excellent option because he is moving behind the defense. 😀😀 Many defenders only pay attention to the Blocker-Mover actions going on above the Free Throw line.
I like this for maybe one set or two, and even using some of the concepts but I don't like this offense for a team's entire offense to be based around this.
Awesome breakdown! There have been a few times this season where Bennett has played Hunter and Key at the same time (in addition to a big) and the are trading spots in and out of the high post. Is that a variation on these concepts? I had thought it was a wrinkle where a whoever was the mover would become the blocker and vice versa during the possession, but I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking at. Along those lines one of the things I really like to watch is how TB uses his swing men in either a blocker or a mover role, depending on the opponent and the situation. Brogdon was one of those guys, and I think Hunter's skill set might translate the best in both positions of any player he has had at Virginia.
I think it's awesome watching this video 4 years later. Bennett has realized the flaws in their offense and has made adjustments. Sidenote, Terry Stotts doesn't get enough credit for being an offensive mastermind, the amount of spacing and high percentage looks he created for those Portland teams in the mid-late 2010s was phenomenal, shame they couldn't get over the hump or stay healthy.
Lakers head coach Frank Vogel has adopted some of this Pindown Screen followed by a Flare Screen. 😀😀😀 The cutter catches, pitches the ball back then runs off a Flare Screens from the weakside BIG. Portland Trailblazers use it too.
As someone who loves to watch Virginia play basketball can we please all agree that if Coach Bennett could meant with Terry Stotts and talk offense the college basketball world would be a much better place.
The OFF-THE-BALL screens built-into Blocker-Mover Offensive System are perfect for teaching. 🤣🤣🤣 Kids aren't taught the value of setting fundamentally sound screens for their teammate to get WIDE OPEN for a Catch & Score
Are you familiar with the different blocker-mover sets? Most of what you show in this video is the lane-lane set, with a little lane-wide and no top-bottom or wide-wide. The blockers in the lane-lane and lane-wide sets must stay on their side of the court, so they will always look like they are playing 2-man games to their sides. I highly recommend this offense to high schools and junior high schools with smart but not overly athletic players. This offense is easier to teach than the Princeton offense. I have had a lot of success with a blocker-mover offense and matchup zone defense with what you would call "private school brains that lack brawn." At the high school and junior high level, the blockers get a lot of easy high-percentage shots, because defenses don't pay enough attention to them.
Thanks. Looking forward to teaching this offense during summer ball and hopefully once winter hits, the team would have a better understanding of this offense.
This was definitely a great video, and I learned a ton. Thank you very much for making it. Here is my critique: At 11:39, you said, "Personally I just think the pairs concept is a little outdated," and I have no idea what that means. The goal of offense is to score points efficiently, so whether something is an old or new concept has no bearing. I guess you're saying that a newer concept would score points more efficiently, but what is that concept and why? I guess it is the ball screens you had mentioned in the previous minute or two.
Thanks! Yep you're not the only one to bring up that exact question, so I definitely wasn't clear enough. I agree that the goal is to maximize efficiency regardless of when the concept was conceived. So let me be more specific... The part of the pairs that I think is outdated is when I said something along the lines of "sometimes it feels like Virginia is playing 2 on 2 instead of 5 on 5". The spread ball screen is the more modern concept that I'm alluding to. Like you said, I did mention a specific type that Portland/Michigan uses, but it wasn't a very comprehensive look at different types of spread ball screens or why they have essentially taken over as the primary offense at the highest levels of basketball. These are somewhat difficult concepts to explain without showing film, but a spread ball screen is basically any ball screen where everyone except for the ball screener is on the perimeter. The rise and acceptance of the three-point shot as efficient offense has made spread ball screens so difficult to defend because most defenses now place a premium on taking away three-point attempts. That wasn't really the case when the Blocker-Mover was first built. I do have another video that goes in great detail on a different type of spread ball screen that is used by tons of teams around the country. In fact, I've seen Virginia run it this season when they aren't in their Blocker-Mover. Here's that video: ruclips.net/video/1xQV1x5AsMw/видео.html And here's Virginia running it: twitter.com/hoopvision68/status/1078712249433407488 Hope this helps a little bit, thank you for watching!
Really any screen heavy offense is nearly worthless against zone unless it's a matchup zone. The better option against zone is roving to find gaps and ball movement on the perimeter. Break down zones by finding those gaps either through off ball movement or driving then kick it to the perimeter.
Typo, Flare Screen immediately after the PINDOWN SCREEN. Makes Centers and Power Forwards pay more attention to fundamentally sound off-ball screens unlike the majority of teams.
The re-screening action is to enforce that you are a BLOCKER as is the name of the offensive system. That might seem outdated, but it is critical to making blockers actually BLOCK. Today's kids like to give half-ass attempts at being BLOCKERS because they really only care about themselves an their individual scoring total, so they only give 50% effort at helping their teammate get open for a Catch & Shoot.
Portland Trailblazers have the weakside wing running baseline to get within the passer's vision for a SPOT-UP 3-POINTER. 😀😀😀 Lakers have adopted this weakside wing running baseline. Pindown cutter quickly flips the ball back to the point guard, then cuts off that Flare Screen.
The baseline runner to replace that cutter is an excellent option because he is moving behind the defense. 😀😀

Thanks for the video, great as always! I'd love to see more on unique systems in college basketball.
And how pro teams utilize those concepts in there own ways
Thank you! You may have seen it already but I did "Continuity Ball Screen" offenses a little while back. Definitely plan on doing more!
@@hoopvision68 do nba teams as well
@@hoopvision68 like spurs or suns
Amazing
I like this for maybe one set or two, and even using some of the concepts but I don't like this offense for a team's entire offense to be based around this.
Love this video! great breakdown!

Thanks. Very helpful.
VA got the flare lob twice in the first half against Auburn.

The cutter catches, pitches the ball back then runs off a Flare Screens from the weakside BIG.
Portland Trailblazers use it too.

I love that boomerang pass. 😀😀😀
Problem is finding a point guard that is consistent at making the 3-pointer off that boomerang pass.
0:00 i apologize but i looked at that photo so wrong
What would you do if the defense switches?

Have you found another video showing the different sets?
the beginning ayooo
Gotta hit the Baseline Runner a few times. 😑😑😑
Everybody forgets that part.
Pindown Screen & Pop-out for 3-pointer. 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome

What do you use for diagrams on your videos
A 3-point shooting 6'10 BIG would be perfect as the Flare Screener at the high post.
Sure, but they don't grow on trees.
Portland Trailblazers-style of Pindown- pitch-back- & Flare Screen is superior to traditional Blocker Mover, I am glad the Lakers have adopted it.
Can someone summarize this
Does this work against zone defenses?
Really any screen heavy offense is nearly worthless against zone unless it's a matchup zone. The better option against zone is roving to find gaps and ball movement on the perimeter. Break down zones by finding those gaps either through off ball movement or driving then kick it to the perimeter.
Not only does it not work against zones but it doesn't work against teams that switch 1-5.
Portland Trailblazers let's their point guard receive a Flare Screen after making initial pass, but stays outside the 3-point line. 😎😎😎
I love the Flare Screen after the Flare Screen. 🤣🤣🤣
Portland Trailblazers run this.
Typo, Flare Screen immediately after the PINDOWN SCREEN.
Makes Centers and Power Forwards pay more attention to fundamentally sound off-ball screens unlike the majority of teams.
0:02 Pause
It don’t matter they won
This plays are good if you have lots of shooters in your team.
Re-screen = RICKY or return to previous spot.
The re-screening action is to enforce that you are a BLOCKER as is the name of the offensive system.
That might seem outdated, but it is critical to making blockers actually BLOCK.

Pindown Screen - Flare Screen Combo PLUS a baseline runner. 🤣🤣🤣
The baseline runner replaces the 1st screener.
I’d never mimic anything they do offensively! Defensively all day!
Portland Trailblazers have the weakside wing running baseline to get within the passer's vision for a SPOT-UP 3-POINTER. 😀😀😀
Lakers have adopted this weakside wing running baseline.
Pindown cutter quickly flips the ball back to the point guard, then cuts off that Flare Screen.
Need at least 3 RELIABLE 3-point shooters
Great. Va., slow. Well just forget Auburn.
Auburn'S BITZKRIEG; va. RETREAT.
UVA Attack = Auburn DEFEAT
won em a natty 🤷♂️
