Offense

[meyers7]

Though some people were complaining about the games this weekend not being competitive, it did give UCONN a chance to run a couple new sets. At least new sets to me, as I had not seen them run them this year.

They ran a clear-out for Chong on one play that worked really well with her quickness and speed. They cleared out the back and had all 5 players above the FT line, 3 on one side with Chong and I think Dolson on the other. Then ran a hand-off for Chong and as soon as she got around the corner it was clear to the hoop. Really nice. I imagine they can run the same for Jefferson and Hartley.

The second thing they ran was a double stack. Haven't seen them run this before (that I can remember??). A lot of men's teams run this. I know Indiana used to run this a lot, probably still do. Wonder if Geno got this from working with Knight at those workshops?

Tierney got a basket off this same play against BU...

I haven't watched much of the last three games - just bits and pieces - do you recall (roughly) when and which game they did the clear-out for Chong? I would like to go back on ESPN3 and catch taht

Thanks

Can you say a bit more about the double stack?

Wow, it's really complicated! Gives lots of options, too.

More importantly, how many point guards and did they shoot jumpers or push shots?

They start with the ball up top. On each side they have two players basically right next to each other. Usually the big will set a pick and the guard will come out to about the 3 pt line. This happens at the same time so the point has the option to go either side, whoever is more open. If the pick is good the guard has the option of a 3 pt. If not the bigs immediately turn and have post position and the guard can feed into the post. On the opposite side the ball goes, the guard can run back through the lane and the opposite side big can pick for her and she can end up on the ball side corner, possibly open for a 3 pt.

I don't remember what they did exactly last night (which option) I was just amazed to see the stack.

Basically instead of the 4 out motion they run normally which has 1 post, this is more a version of a 3 out motion where you have 2 posts.

Sorry, didn't see Ozzie's link.

Easier to understand when you see it than trying to image it from text.

Better yet would be to find a flow version.

Yeah, a flow version...that would help.
