"To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heav'n in a wild flower.
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour."
- William Blake
So much opportunity and variation flows from the simplest of actions, like basketball post entry, spacing, and cutting.
Coach Daniel reviews some simple NBA actions emanating from postups.
He begins by discussing the baseline and middle cuts as well as spacing out. Failure to move allows the defending guard to 'dig' or otherwise harass the post.
He discusses spacing options depending on the presence or absence of a "stretch four". Note that NBA players know there will be players at the opposite corner and foul line extended.
When there is inattentive defense, basket cuts (head turners) create great chances. This often becomes particularly effective when the post is doubled.
He reviews off-ball screens, flare screen variants, and staggered screens to free up shooters. San Antonio likes to use the so-called "Hammer" with back screens into the Corner 3.
Later he discusses the application of the guard screening across (for the 4) in the Triangle Offense.
Particular vexing is the circumstance when the post is fronted, and the opposite big flashes and the post seals to get a dunk or layup off the dump down.
