Villanova Coach Jay Wright: The Origin Of The 4 Out 1 In Offense

As part of the George Raveling Coaching For Success Academy (coachingforsuccess.academy), Coach Nick caught up with Villanova Head Coach Jay Wright to talk about the origin of his 4 out, 1 in offense, plus how often he calls plays versus letting his players flow. In addition, he explains what happens when the defense goes zone.

"That's a great question" *Coach Nick blushes*

[@ShamGam3]

+ShamGam3 And then "we win" lol

Yes, WE WIN!

[@BlueHundred1]

Hey, I love your videos and I don't know if you do requests but I was watching a lot of Bucks preseason and noticed a couple nice offensive sets that are money. Was wondering if you could do a video about their offense. I think their offense is really crafty

[@MrMontetowe]

Great interview! Great coach!

[@bballbreakdown]

Thanks!

[@Flamangatang]

I wish more highschool and grade school coaches would teach this basic level of basketball. that way the guys/girls will already know these simple things once they reach the next level. there are many pro players who wouldn't be able to play like this.

[@bballbreakdown]

Yes!

[@RobertSmith-ow5kf]

My high school coach has been doing 4 around 1 offense since the early 90’s. Still doing it today

[@ramseydarling]

That had me dying instantly.

[@mrreman]

You In Coach "We Win". I guess he thinks your saying "you Win"

[@bballbreakdown]

I kind of am, aren't I?

[@MrMontetowe]

When he said "shooting pocket," I wish you would have asked him about the dip.

[@mcfuckinanotheraccount808]

they can flow into the shooting pocket with the dip still and just either shoot or pumpfake, at least that's what i noticed when watchign them play

[@creydadj]

What sucks now today’s b-ball is mostly 5 out 0 in offense. Even the bigs are on the perimeter

[@ramseydarling]

Well, they did win.

[@neetrab]

National Champs AGAIN!

[@mcfuckinanotheraccount808]

Off a 1-2 you can only pivot the first foot you land.. did Coach mean to say he prefers the jump stop so that you can pivot EITHER foot? Only problem i have with just jumpstopping is it's a lot of pressure on the knees

[@dusanstankovic6456]

ye he meant the jumpstop

[@MrYoumitube]

Fear the Beard.

[@brianbadillo1303]

Rick Torbett

[@gabrieltoledano5560]

isnt 1-2 worse for pivot?!?!

[@Galactu5]

yeah, I thought a hop gives you the option of having either pivot. Maybe it was a semantics problem? He answered as if the hop was his method.

[@bballbreakdown]

I think he's a strict 1-2 guy...

[@Flamangatang]

+Galactu5 I agree, that was a little confusing. most coaches will tell you to catch on the hop in order to have both pivots available.

[@Omnis2]

+BBALLBREAKDOWN When I first watched this video, I was confused too. But watching it again I see that he always teaches the 1-2 because he wants guys to be able to be comfortable in case they CAN'T catch off the hop.

[@RobertSmith-ow5kf]

The more talent you have the less plays you call. High talent teams call situational plays. OOT, get someone going, end quarters, if the ball isn’t moving, or if the offense has hit a lull. You will notice teams with less talent run a play almost every time down because they don’t have the skill to take guys off the dribble or read and react. And maybe other team is just too long and athletic. These coaches are pretty much forced into coaching the ball into the basket

The post-Jordan era competition was so easy, that the only thing stopping a 38-year old Jordan on no knees from taking a 19-win team to the 2002 Finals was injuries to him and his 2nd best player Rip Hamilton. But the 1988 - 1990 Pistons were so stacked that even a prime and fully healthy Jordan couldn't take them down with the mediocre help he received in those series (1988 ECSF, 1989 ECF, 1990 ECF Game 7). The 1991 Pistons were also stacked, but it's just that Jordan had help that time. In the 1989 run, Jordan had to become the only guard to lead his team in 5/5 categories during the 1989 ECSF against the Knicks, and with Pippen ejected before the 4th quarter of Game 6, Jordan had to drop 12-2-3-1-2 in the 4th quarter along with the game-winning FTs to carry the 6-seed Bulls to their first ECF in franchise history. Jordan shut down Isiah Thomas in that series, but the Pistons were so stacked, along with the Bulls not helping enough, that even a prime Jordan wasn't enough to pull off the upset. In the 1990 ECF, Jordan had help through 6 games before his teammates shot a combined 24% in Game 7 to Jordan's 31-8-9 on 48%. The only Jordan teammate in double figures was Horace Grant with 10 points on 3/17 (18%), even Dennis Rodman, almost exclusively a defensive player, outscored all of Jordan's teammates with 13 points on 6/7 (86%). Again, the Pistons and 80s/90s competition were so stacked that even a prime Jordan couldn't take them down with the poor help he was receiving from his teammates. That problem wouldn't be nearly as prevalent in the post-Jordan era. As we have already seen, the post-Jordan era was so easy compared to Jordan's era, that injuries were the only thing stopping Jordan from taking a sub-20 team to the 2002 NBA Finals, as the only notable addition. Remember, the 90s had the most 50 and 60-win teams of any decade, even with a lockout season. Jordan's Bulls had to beat 7 60-win teams in their 6 title seasons, more than any other dynasty has in one decade. Jordan wouldn't have to worry about facing such stiff competition in LeBron's easy era.
