checked out the arizona state game

Offense

1) basically a 3 G offense. mostly 5 out, predicating on driving, hitting dirving lanes
....pack in the defense. not a good shooting team per se. also, zone them as they want to get feet in the paint off bounce

2) will go four around 1, with bradley, butler, mensa (big), johnson (big) either inverting (guards), or drope ducking in (bigs)
....understand the bigs can't really do much, though mensa will pass unmolested. stay in their business, make them make plays. when bradley inverts and posts, come at him via angles and vary when - on post, catch, move

3) push relentlessly on stops. will go coast to coast (bradley, butler, other guard
....find and stop ball in transition. ALWAYS get back b/c they are coming

4) pistol/handoff to bradley
....get ball out his hands. vary the angles and timing of doubling. maybe hard hedge then recover, which means the third guy has to HELP.

5) Bradley/mensa pick and roll to mensa post. he will pass it.
...hard hedge or if playing smaller, switch. mensa can't shoot. or invite mensa to receive the ball, then wall up and play him honestly. he has to be made to shoot

6) butler 1-4, with bradley being screened

7) ultimately they are trying to get bradley the rock around midrange extended and in. with and without the ball in his hands.
....don't leeave this guy. they cant win unless he's scoring.


Defense

1) man to man. feet in the paint helpside. they love to dig and get steals. plays pretty solid, not a slew of gambling
...skip. 3rd pass will yield open shot. also, throw into post and trigger. people and ball movement very important. MOVE Ball. 3rd pass wide open. drive mohammed

2) hard show on side pick and roll
...drive/post and kick. MOVE BALL.

2) they switch perimeter - if mensa switches out, drive him . use the switching to advantage, like run 1/4 (rice) pic and pop.

4) steps up for charges

Personnel

1) bradley - Cal guard makes it happen for them. they pick and roll, dho, ducks in for posts. feasts on the break too. if he can't score, they can't win. pulls from everwhere.
...help to make others beat you. not a long distance shooter, so back off a tad, but close. he wants to get into the paint. battle and contest everything, with multiple defenders

2) mensa - will post him on pick and roll, duck ins, and open side posts. will pass face up and back to basket. did played left hand over right shoulder post. shot blocker, rebounder
...developing guy, so make him counter. box out as he hits the glass.

3) butler - secondary ball handler. defense/energy cat. set shot from three.
....make him a shooter. invert on stwit

4) johnson - long active guy. not a shooter, but will score from midrange in. defender who protects rim.
...make him a shooter
