Basketball Boomerangs and More

"Movement kills defenses." 

Navy SEAL team leader Jocko Willink told a story about a teams guy who said, "I can remember just three things. What are they?"

Maybe you hated science because they didn't teach applications. Boomerang physics utilize the Bernoulli principle (also used to allow airplanes to fly, pitchers to throw curveballs, and volleyballers to use topspin). 

Chris Oliver explains shaping space to create advantage with switches and training that with small-sided games.

Geno Auriemma's UCONN Huskies ran a "boomerang" BOB when Breanna Stewart was the inbounder. 

UCONN moved the defense with a cutter and then entered to the high post who ran an unorthodox give-and-go to Stewie. 

Years ago, our 7th grade girls improvised this SLOB "boomerang" off a zipper entry. 

Imagine the possibilities. 

Lagniappe. Slip the wing ball screen. 

Low risk, high reward

Lagniappe 2. Stack BOB  

23 Zone Coverage

If you are running a 23 Zone on BLOB you are bound to see some form of "Stack" option from the offense.

A few thoughts:
- X4 Stays Home, they cover the dive
- X2 Covers Corner, Always
- X1 Plays Anything to the Point

Force the entry to that outer third. https://t.co/ExSn00bOAN
