This is a standard 2-3 defense patern and how to actack it. The green areas represent the weak points of the zone, while the yellow are the strong. The ball begins at the top with the point guard and is passed out to either of the wing players. This has the effect of moving the 2-3 defense. When the ball is passed to the wing if the route is clear then take the 3 point shot.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
The ball screen produces almost half of all professional offensive possessions, yet most teams still teach it as a memorised play. The modern approach trains the read - giving players a framework to decide based on what the defence does, not what the coach called.
