Bonn fan here, it was unreal what he did with our team and i wish him all the success, hopefully head coach ins the nba too, he deserves it.

[@MrSkuldugerry]

Same, he will still be missed at the Hardtberg though!

[@Jaywrites23]

Rockets need him badly

[@courtneytyree-jones8563]

As a Grizzlies fan he's going to be a great head coach!

[@Werder-zw7hu]

I am from Bonn and therefore witnessed his coaching for a while now. Although the offensive schemes you broke down definitely are important to his coaching, but imo his style of holding everyone acountable and thriving for perfection are the key factors for his success. He was really hard on his players often calling timeouts immediately after only one dumb mistake from one of his players. He also pushed his team to play the whole game as hard as possible even when they were up bigtime. Plus imo his defensive Style of allways pressuring the ball and helping eachother allot were most important for the great teamperformance. So i think Iisalos main strength is his coaching personality not any Special offensive system, although he off course is really competent. Otherwise the Players wouldn't follow him this passionately. Really Hope he becomes headcoach of a promissing team in the NBA soon. I will definitely be rooting for hin.

[@bytbeats9591]

I had no idea the grizzlies hired a new assistant couch but I’ve noticed that this is not modern basketball that they are playing they are actually scheming and it’s genius. You can see the genius every play offensively and defensively so I looked up coaching changes and found this video. Great video man

[@ChrisLovesGaming]

Funny, Thinking Basketball has also just released an analysis of the Grizzlies offense, but for some reason they are attributing the succes to assistant coach Laroche, failing to even mention Tuomas.

[@fluidsoffornication4636]

False

[@biboucet5985]

Neither are wrong, and at the end of the day the improvements comes from all of their players coming back from injury too

[@jersonhernandez-lobos376]

Half court offense definitely has Laroches print on it. But I’m sure Tuomas has fine tuned a few things for it to be a bit more efficient.

[@jimblack5923]

Ghost screens,speed, and other wrinkles look like Tuomas, but the circle movement and no ball screens is 100% Laroche. It’s a great combination. Read up on Laroche and his ‘Principles.’

[@12123188]

You forget to mention 1 very important thing; When you can score your points fast and seemingly easy while your opponents have to use their full shot clock, you have the upper hand mentally. Thats how for example Partizan lost 2 seasons ago in the play off against Real. Even when +/-20 points up, you never had the feeling that Real was lost. When they scored it looked easy while Partizan had to make crazy plays to score.

[@Rusu-j]

Was it the series with the Yabusele fight?

[@affidavid5730]

Tuomas Iisalo was a shooting guard in the Finnish National League; he was a good 3-point shooter, and particularly effective from the corner. BTW, his grandpa and grandpa's two brothers were all war heros during the WWII.

Another great analysis! Just for the info, what you call a slip screen at 4:05 is actually a ghost screen. Slip screen is the terminology used for a fake screen where the screener is slipping to go in the direction of the basket> Ghost screen is when, as shown on the pick, the screen keep his momentum to go 'pop' outside of the 3 point arch

Great video ! He created a modern way to play basket, and this way is as Team and not an individual way. You should also add the pace of subsitutions because he does a lot of substitution of 2 or 3 players each times which is unhabitual and part of the process to exhaust the other team

[@KatsardisFastBreak]

Great analysis - very informative

[@BasketNews_com]

Glad you liked it

[@nicksotiropoulos1469]

That is exactly what coach B mentioned before the game with Pari. That they already had an identity and style during coach Iisalo's days, which coach Splitter succesfully continued. So no big surprice of Pari's performance.

[@barryhoward7997]

I kind of love your review of an assistant coach. It isn't uncommon, but a Euro, you, reviewing an assistant Euro coach in the NBA is a spin. Euro's are proven to belong in the NBA easily. But a Euro coach review expands the demeanor. Good job. We have a Euro fan here in Dallas that has worn me out with his love for Luka. None the less, I guess he belongs. I like your expanded view better. The court is different there, the fans are different, and the coaching seems to be very, very good. It translates very good to the biggest league in the world. This review, or video, works for me. Good job friend.

[@PumpkinEater100]

Very interesting video. I used to have a coach who was Iisalo’s colleague at one point. We had all the same principles that Paris Basketball has now. I’m sure Micke Jantunen benefits so much from this very Finnish way to play basketball. ps. and a quick tip for pronouncing Tuomas Iisalo’s last name. Say it with 2 “i” letters. Iisalo, not Isalo😅

[@serifeertay7434]

This is a great video! Additionally, aren’t the Gortat screen, offensive rebounds and the cuts quite obvious things to do that NBA teams should learn from the Euroleague teams? I see these quite often even in high school basketball games in Europe. I do think these are fundamentals and should be taught at a young age so these are done naturally rather than memorised like a script. Just like how Luka and Jokic plays really in my opinion.

[@prodkkap417]

I feel like the gortat screen should be called as illegal, because the center is always moving while blocking the defender. That's a moving screen.

[@michaelvanallen6400]

In the last three years, Iisalo has won eight titles as coach of the year, both in the national league and in European competitions. His teams Bonn (Germany) and Paris (F) were only the 3rd to 5th financially strongest clubs in the national league. Both teams only lost the final in the national league, but won other four titles. As a fan of his teams, you have a lot of fun because they play so extremely fast, committed and attractive.

There is one team dominating the offensive rebound in Europe in a historically record breaking numbers. This is Valencia, which is playing similar, tons of threes and the other 4 guys pushing the off. rebound. We are easily getting around 18-20 off rebounds on Average which is kind of unseen.

Before analyzing Isalo analize MR Pedro Martinez who is the father of this game style.playing many years ago like this.

[@Oliverr149]

Iisalo also said that he studied pedro martinez for years

[@babbonataleseivecchiobefan8011]

Can someone explain a little bit better the 3pt off rebound strategy? It wasn't super clear to me, but seemed interesting!

[@mikemoshop506]

The ball after a 3pt shot has more chances to go further from the rim than from a 2pt shot. The offensive team can collectively "push" the defenders towards their rim, which is also something that they are doing either way. So if the ball falls further from the rim, the attackers have the advantage cause they are always further from the rim. And if you shoot more 3pt than it is usual, like Iisalo's teams, then: more 3pts + more chances for the ball to go further from rim + better position = more offensive rebounds

[@2acle]

So basically upgraded version of Lavar Ball basketball

[@milansilic8024]

great video

[@AugustasSuliauskas]

thank you!

[@ShotClockHoops]

Tbh, Memphis was full of injuries last year and was playing with the G League Team most of the time. Otherwise, they were elite team. Iisalo is great though

[@domoreresearch]

exactly and ja missed most of the season which explains why their offense was so bad

[@ac-mm3rj]

Facts. I read this insane stat - the 23/24 Grizzlies used 33 different players and over 50 different starting lineups. On top of Ja, Bane only played 42 games and Marcus Smart (the big offseason acquisition) only 20.

[@Samsunaattori]

Pro tip on how to pronounce Finnish names a bit more like a native speaker: Two same vowels behind each other are supposed to be pronounced as if you try to stretch that one vowl's sound out, Iisalo and Isalo are not pronounced the same. On the other hand, with names (and words in general) that have 2 of the same consonant next to each other, like Markkanen, sound much more natively spoken if you treat the first of the double consonant like a small pause!

[@freelikesummer931]

Memphis are first in points and blocks, second in assists, and top 5 in rebounds and field goal percentage. And right now we still have Zach Edey, GG Jackson and Vince Williams recovering from injuries! And Cam Spencer having 50 points games in the G-League! The team is so loaded that we let Cam play in NBA games only against teams such as the Wizzards!

[@tapio_m6861]

The best player in Memphis also played a total of 9 games last season. NBA game is so much tied into your best two or three players, and to get a top10 player back to your lineup does quite a bit to your offense. Don't get me wrong, I love that my countryman is such a basketball genius, but to be quite fair, Memphis' offense is better than last season primarily due to having Morant in the team lineup rather than a police lineup.
