Concepts Drive Quality Shots - Multiple Actions

"Great offense is multiple actions." Multiple actions should work from different starting points and sets.

As defensive coordinator of the Giants, Bill Belichick saw that the great Joe Gibbs' offense ran a small number of actions with variations.

This should be a core coaching concept. Let's be specific.


Concept 1. Ball entry (zipper cut).
Concept 2. Clear a side. 
Concept 3. Screen the screener.
Concept 4. Backscreen lob.

Run it as a baseline out of bounds play. 


Same actions, different origin. 

How about as an ATO? As Brad Stevens told my Aerospace Engineer wife, "this isn't rocket science."


Apply the same principles to other actions and build many variations from a few concepts, as Joe Gibbs did and Bill Belichick discovered. 

Lagniappe. 
Lagniappe 2. Hard conversations come with the job. 
Lagniappe 3. Multiple actions. DHO into elbow ball screen and roll.
