Running Floppy Through

It's not about what you 'run' but running it well. The NBA features many types of actions - on ball screens, Horns, cross screens to get post entry, Triangle, staggered and elevator screens, screen-the-screener action and more. 

Another popular action is "floppy" which we'll examine today.  



Often run as a "single/double" action. 

Plenty of options if the initial cutters are unavailable. 

Continuation options if post entry to back door cut are not open.

Coach Nick shows the details, including the footwork on the dribble pitch that can open up drive or shot options for the ballhandler as well as the pocket pass. 

Excellent explanation of how "simple" can create multiple options.
