This One Play is VERY Hard to Guard

[@345gpac]

Playing my first season pro this year and have been watching your videos religiously. Thank you for breaking down all these concepts i feel like just by adding the IQ to my game has changed it drastically. Looking forward to your next post!

[@TheFilmRoom1]

This is why I do what I do! Really encouraged reading your message. Good luck as you finish up year 1, and please let me know how I can continue to add value.

Where do you play

[@azhong]

This is great. I actively use a lot of the principles you teach to get better at 3v3 - 5v5 pickup.

[@TheFilmRoom1]

Love to hear it! Keep workin hard.

[@coachsudds]

Great Video! The common terminology is actually “empty” ball screen, since the ball side corner is empty.

[@TheFilmRoom1]

I’ve heard “empty” used as well. Thanks for sharing!

[@tayo6882]

This reminds me a lot of the Mind the Game Pod. Thanks for the break down. The play is actually really hard to stop, because of all the room that the roller has.

[@TheFilmRoom1]

I watch their pod a lot & they talk about a lot of the things I do videos on. I appreciate the comment!

[@tayo6882]

@@TheFilmRoom1 I also really appreciate that you are actually analyzing European Basketball. It has, in my opinion, more nuance and complexity to it that NBA, as the latter is more based on exploiting 1v1 mismatches.

[@TheFilmRoom1]

I couldn’t agree with you more. And that’s why I’ve really enjoyed covering it. I think there’s a lot more to learn

[@tayo6882]

@@TheFilmRoom1 So as I just discovered your channel and saw all the different playlists that you have, I thought that maybe it could be very helpful if there was a video or even a series that explains all the Basketball-language. Kind of like an online Basketball-dictonary. Just an idea. Thank you for all the material you have already put out there and are still putting out!

[@TheFilmRoom1]

Check out the playlist called "Beginners" I have a few videos in there that breakdown that exact thing! Let me know what you think after you check them out.

The content is incredible

Thanks for the kind words Joaquin. I appreciate you

Great video man, do you work in basketball/coaching? If so how much film did you watch/study when trying to learn and understand the game

[@TheFilmRoom1]

Thank you! I’m currently a college coach and have been since I graduated from college in 2013. I’ve been watching film ever since then pretty much all year around (which I’m a believer there’s no substitute for experience - so a lot of what I know has just come from watching so much basketball) But the reason I run this channel is because I didn’t know the majority of the stuff I teach on this channel until I was 5-6 years into coaching. So, my desire is to help people learn what took me over a decade in a much faster process to grow the game.

[@alfie-oj4yr]

@@TheFilmRoom1 What was your pathway into coaching like? Did you play at college at a young age or something?

[@TheFilmRoom1]

@@alfie-oj4yr I played at Iowa State, and then got right into coaching after I graduated. I went from the NAIA level to junior college, to NCAA D2, to NAIA as a head coach, back to D2 as an assistant (currently).

[@alfie-oj4yr]

@@TheFilmRoom1 Thanks a lot. Would you say most of your knowledge has come from your past coaches?

[@0p70]

Amazing content 👏

[@eloisabastos4864]

Coach,I'm a point guard and I want to add as much IQ as possible and how can I play to my pace even when pressured.

[@TheFilmRoom1]

Hey. Thanks for reaching out! I have a lot of videos on my channel that I think would help you. I’d recommend going thru my playlists and watching videos on a topic that interests you first. There’s also a lot of other really good channels out there with great information. I haven’t done a video on handling pressure, but you’re not the first person to request that. So, I will look into making something about that in the near future.

[@christiangavingale3349]

Any particular reason you use Euroleague footage? I think I've seen plenty such actions in the NBA as well.

[@TheFilmRoom1]

Good question. I am in a partnership with a company called WSC Sports, who gives me access to Euroleague footage. I don’t have the same access to NBA footage, and would get hit with copyright strikes if I were to use it. But I also really like Euroleague ball & think it’s vastly underrated and under-watched. But, my hope is one day I’ll be able to use NBA footage as well!

[@christiangavingale3349]

@@TheFilmRoom1 ahhh understood. I was leaning towards the defensive coverages being different and with more help D, due to that no defensive 3 second violation. I wonder if that at all changes how these actions are ran/defended across both leagues.

[@TheFilmRoom1]

@@christiangavingale3349 oh absolutely. The defensive 3 seconds in the NBA almost makes it an entirely new game. I would love to see the NBA bring it back.

[@bryannixon4297]

Euro ball screen continuity is based on this.

[@TheFilmRoom1]

Yes it is. Good recognition.

[@JustinasSpokas]

We used to call it in Europe transition Lithuania 🇱🇹

[@TheFilmRoom1]

Nice! Thank you for sharing. Do you coach currently?

[@goumigoumi9270]

Great video but change the music please the guitar tick in background is so annoying

[@TheFilmRoom1]

I can put a different track on future videos. Thanks for sharing your opinion!
