The Euro version of FLOW has a lot of similariites to the style of continuity that we've been studying so far in this course. However, there are some key differences to the EURO style in terms of spacing and court locations of the ball screens. This style of play was made popular by European coaches and has become popular in the United States with programs like Arizona and Gonzaga have a lot of success playing this way.

Some aspects of this style of FLOW include:

• Opposite post duck-ins
• Middle third ball screens
• Outside angle and stepup angle ball screens
• Short rolls to the elbows for post players
• Smart BURN (baseline) cuts for perimeter players
• Driving lanes to the rim opened up by players occupying their man with a duck-in

The first major difference is the positioning of the opposite post player at the point of the ball screen. The Euro style of continuity keeps the opposite post lower, usually posting up on the same side where the ball handler is going to finish their drive coming off the ball screen. There is a greater emphasis on postups in this style of play because instead of lifting to the opposite slot the post player will duck-in first, then run out to set a delayed ball screen after the first side ball screen. Here is a diagram showing the basic spacing:

The second big difference is the emphasis on ball screens in the middle third of the floor in addition to wing PNR's. Instead of receiving the ball on the wing, the guard on the other side of the floor will receive the ball in the slot for the next ball screen.
