This CRACK SCREEN concept forces the near side forward to "guard air"

I like this as a starter set to introduce ZOOM ACTION as the high school level and below

Pro tip: Pointing is not enough to defend a solid chin screen

How fun is this offense?

Modern spacing, constant cutting, team basketball

A flare right out of twirl action is nasty work by Dusty May

Flare/Slip concepts are great against ZONE DEFENSE to isolate one defender to read

If they die on the screen, hit the flare

If they navigate the screen, hit the slip

The 5-High Ghost Offense slip screen creates confusion...

If the defense goes to the high side of the screen, it should be an automatic

Many college coaches are using an action that’s basically IMPOSSIBLE to guard

And most coaches don’t even have a name for it... yet 🧵👇

Design your BLOBs so the rim is threatened at least twice

Front side. Back side.

Coaches using a box look on BLOBs... take a long look at this one

Gut stagger directly into a high ball screen

Good action for a shooter/playmaker

Twirl ➡️ Touch ➡️ Angle PnR

Patterned zone offense creating an overload on each reversal

A power concept to attack zone defense
February 3, 2026 at 4:04 PM
“Since installing this defense, our deflections went up by 50%”

Deny & Disrupt causes havoc

Screen the Screener

An essential component to attacking teams that fight through off ball screens

In an era dominated by ball screens and isolation,

Dan Hurley dices you up with off-ball screening and cutting

The Press Virginia torture chamber at its finest

Trap, sprint, trap, deny your whole offense, steal the ball

A Barca staple

Circle Motion forces defenders to make choices

And tired defenders make bad ones

Want to ATTACK pressure defense?

Empty the baseline and run your backdoors and back cuts

"Push" 3 through to set up the short corner attack

Most zones DO NOT want the ball in the short corner
February 2, 2026 at 4:03 PM
Teams with no plan would have a ton of disjointed possessions against the the Villanova 1-2-2 Press

It takes real discipline to not rush into the press but also find the balance between attack the press and setting something up

Run this play against teams that front the post!

The third frame adds continuation to an already sound zone offense concept

By adding the small detail of clearing 1 to the weak side corner, you set up a ready-made skip to a “one more”
