First of all, let me say that I'm a fan of your channel. I enjoyed this particular video and others featuring Alex Sarama. A couple of critical observations however: 1) at 0:42 the handoff becomes an obvious moving screen as the player giving the handoff pivots into the path of the defensive player....at 4:24, we see an offensive player attempt a similar maneuver in practice. Right after the sequence, Coach Sarama instructs the player to go to the rim sooner after giving the handoff, but from what can I hear, he doesn't mention the moving screen...2) At 3:57, Coach Sarama stops the action and emphatically says "Whoa, whoa, whoa.....I don't like mid-range". I don't like that statement. We don't see the beginning of the play, but from what I can see: a) the player was relatively open we he shot it, and b) if there is something to correct here, it's his jumping forward towards the defender, not his decision to shoot per se. It is possible to emphasize layups and the creation of 2 on 1 advantages without discouraging the mid-range shot. I'm not an analytics guru, but I believe there is an excessive brainwashing campaign against the mid-range game going on (almost) everywhere in basketball at every level. Most high-scoring guards and wings in the pros and college have a very productive mid-range game (for example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWG6cp6se66ootE ). But meanwhile, most youth coaches don't know how to teach it, or if they know, they don't bother teaching it. It's no wonder that many players arrive in high school, CEGEP, college and even in the pros with mediocre mid-range fundamentals...

Appreciate the critical analysis. Anything adding to the conversation is always welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.

At 42 seconds, the pivot was away from and not facing into the player. That's an old school Wooden screen and that never gets called as a moving screen when it's a back pivot Well executed. In terms of mid range, it's HIS players. He knows strengths, weaknesses, and where he wants them to end up. I like uncontested mid range as much as any old schoolers, but you have to be hitting at a 60% plus clip to make it better than a three.

@@briansass4865 At 0:42, my issue is not with the direction the offensive player is facing in relation to the defender, nor with the direction of the pivot. My issue is with the lack of time and distance given to the defender, while clearly pivoting into his recovery path....As for the mid-range, you are right, it's his players and he can teach them whatever he wants. However, that doesn't give him an exemption from constructive criticism. I stand by my previous comment.

[@briansass4865]

Yes, he pivots into his recovery path, while opening towards the ball. It's perfect and wouldn't be an offensive foul in any league I've seen. It's almost like you are arguing that he should let the man cut across his front and not get open. If that were in the low post instead of high slot, it would be called a perfect post up. Same principle applies in both areas.

[@coachlk9330]

We would have to look at video footage of the perfect post up situation you are describing, and discuss it. I'm certainly not arguing that any offensive player who pivots without the ball and creates contact with a moving defender should be called for an offensive foul. However, what I am arguing in relation to the play at 0:42, is that there is no general principle of immunity from screening rules for an offensive player who a) sets a screen with his back to the defender ; b) pivots a certain way to establish his screening position ; c) ends up facing the ball ; d) gets open (or makes it look like he is getting open) by setting his screen ; e) all of the above.

What is "slip smash", " neutral" and "gap"?

[@BasketballImmersion]

Neutral = no advantage, Gap = spacing within the defense to drive or cut usually best defined as a double vs. single gap. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYHLi6OiiKh3prM

[@rhazley81]

What offensive scheme does ‘dominoes’ refer to?

[@BasketballImmersion]

Dominoes refers to attacking closeouts and keeping the dominoes falling by ball movement or attacks to keep the advantage. It is a concept more than an offense.
