Tom Izzo, head basketball coach at Michigan State and football fanatic, has always stressed the importance of being detailed in every facet of the game.  You will see it all in this special teams playbook.

Drawing wisdom from Hall of Fame coaches, from Vince Lombardi to Mike Ditka, who have all stressed the importance and impact that “Special Teams” have on the outcome of games, Izzo firmly believes that “Special Teams” have been a key ingredient in the program’s success for decades.

Knowing that so many games are decided by one to two possessions or less and that the majority of NCAA Tournament games are decided by even less, there is increased focus on five areas that make up “Special Teams.”

1. Jump ball situations
2. Baseline out-of-bounds
3. Sideline out-of-bounds
4. Free throw situations
5. After time-out plays

In this Special Teams playbook, we examine three of these areas and what some of the most efficient teams of the past several years are running in these situations.

The special teams playbook contains 210 basketball plays from 40 different NCAA teams:

• After timeout (ATO) half court man offense,
• After timeout (ATO) half court zone offense,
• Baseline out of bounds (BLOBs) vs. man,
• Baseline out of bounds (BLOBs) vs. zone,
• Sideline out of bounds (SLOB).
