The Princeton Offense Part 1: Low-Post Series

[@martindylan4400]

Finally the princeton offense which Coach Nick has not done.You are the better.

[@martindylan4400]

Martin Dylan RIP that hawk offense analysis.

[@bibbyboi]

Thank you for this. I coach high school and run the Princeton offense. I been thinking of different options out of our low post sets. We normally just get back into Chin or high post sets but the double down screen is a nice change of pace.

[@coachdaniel8163]

No problem and yes there are lots of good options.

[@deandrepage1048]

I love having the PF making the Low Post feed, so he can Screen Away for a kick-out Jumpshot.

[@plusEV]

Another action on the low post series, on the swing thru the point (inside-out from the post or just from the wing), when the point reverse the ball to a side with two players, the high player automatically back doors and screens away for the post before vacating to the opposite corner.

[@deandrepage1048]

Double-Staggered Screen option is my favorite 😂😂😂.

[@ThomasBahamas]

When Eddie Jordan ran this in Philly, I couldn't stand to watch it. But it does have its place with the correct personnel & in the right execution. Looking at the footage, it seemed to work best in Early-2000s NBA where there was a heavy emphasis on cutting swingmen & guys who were money from long-2 range.

[@devvv4616]

could very easily be applied to guys who are money from the 3 (ie. modern 3 and D players and shooters)

[@deandrepage1048]

Rick Adelman, blast from the past. 😂😂😂

[@賢者籠球]

Great work!!　Thank you sooo much!

[@craighauser9482]

MAN I LOVED THOSE NETS TEAMS!!!! JKIDD WAS A MAGICIAN!!!!

[@dhafiz26]

What is the ideal personnel for a Princeton offense? Like what type of player at each position?

[@coachdaniel8163]

+Danial Hafiz I think it's important to have a smart center who can pass and at least handle the ball around the perimeter. Like Vlade Divac with the Kings. But really most centers can play that position but you just can't have a Bismack Biyombo or something.

[@deandrepage1048]

I see what Phil Jackson meant about today's NBA lacking "basketball I.Q." The Kings were awesome with the Princeton's multiple backdoor cuts.

[@siberianskip]

Is the Princeton really a great system to teach the game? Some say that it teaches a lot of fundamentals of plauer/ball movement

[@coachdaniel8163]

+siberianskip Depends on the level. For youth this is way too complicated, high school maybe. But yes fundamental basketball is taught. Though it is a system so there is not a whole lot of freedom.

[@siberianskip]

+Coach Daniel but it does seem to form movement around simple reads... If that makes sense. Anyway, thanks coach. Another thing I wanna ask is what's "pistol action"? I know about the pistol offense... But the" action" is referred to what?

[@coachdaniel8163]

siberianskip Its a basic 3 man game in early offense many NBA teams run. Funny you ask I have a video coming on it actually later this season but check this vid out for now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4OvqKSGZ6yYi9U

[@runescapedud3]

if u do colabiration with coach nick, another youtuber, ur channel might get bigger :)

[@deandrepage1048]

Make Jason Kidd the Lakers NEW HEAD COACH next year for this.😂😂😂

[@TO-ph4kx]

Don't the Warriors use this too?

[@coachdaniel8163]

+TO Not true Princeton but elements of it. For example the split in front of the post they run.

[@deandrepage1048]

Vlade Divac (Center) over at the Weak-side wing or short corner, NOT DUNKER's SPOT. 😀😀😀 Anthony Davis's spot for the Lakers with new teammate, Dwight Howard in the Low Post. Must be the LEFT BLOCK so Howard can turn middle toward his right hand (dominant hand).

[@deandrepage1048]

Keith Van Horn would qualify as the 2018 version of a Stretch-4 😎😎😎.

[@deandrepage1048]

This works in 2017, coaches are just lazy. Pick & Roll satisfies the Russell Westbrook-style of PGs.

[@deandrepage1048]

Golden State Warriors copied the Post Feed & Screen Away concept. 😂😂

[@_gamepoint_]

Thats because a lot of what they do is inspired by the triangle and the trianagle in turn was inspired by the princeton offense

[@deandrepage1048]

@@_gamepoint_ I used Triangle Offense as a coach myself. 😀😀😀 It has a Laker Cuts (cut through the middle or baseline) after Post Feed for a Give& Go return pass. No screening.

[@deandrepage1048]

Correction no Screen Opposite

[@hig5018]

This offense is so inefficient, Morey would throw up watching this.

[@coachdaniel8163]

Its really not. Only if you want it to be. The long 2's you see in this video could all be 3's if taught that way. The elbow screen could be a a screen at 21 feet etc. But yes, Morey would throw up watching how Byron Scott runs this, meaning lots of mid-range shots.

[@plusEV]

+Coach Daniel That was the one thing I was thinking when watching the clips. A lot of the teams have poor spacing giving them the inefficient long two and, more importantly, clogging the lane making penetration and back doors more difficult to execute.
