Luka Bassin #BassketSTUDIO

Many times we ignore the impact of our BIGS (Power Forwards & Centers), especially in today's basketball, when everything is about Pick&Roll and 3-point shooting. But they are setting screens, they are rebounding, they are blocking shots and doing "dirty" work in the paint. Therefore we must give them also opportunity to be more involved in our offense also. We have to give them opportunity to score, we have to create good positions for them with some set offenses. Believe me - they will make even better screens, they will block and rebound more, if we will respect them and give them also offensive situation where they can score, if we will put them in position to create...in position where they can score when others helping them.

In this course you will find 50 systems / sets for your bigs. First there are 24 systems where you will create good shooting position for your "Stretch Bigs" by using FLARE screens and PIN DOWNS, while in the second part you will find 26 systems / sets to create good POST UP position to play close to basket. In meantime you can also check the other course of mine, https://coachtube.com/course/basketball/post-up-creation-for-your-shooters-newtrends/12294351, where you will find systems to create perimeter shots out of POST plays.

- 24 systems to create a SHOT for your Stretch Big (can be power forward or center)

- 26 systems to create good and active LOW POST attack for you Big (also for power forward or center)

From my experience you will add quality, versatility and diversity to your offense, and even more important, you will have happier players willing to do "dirty work, knowing you respect them by putting them in positions to score also. The chemistry of the TEAM will raise and your team will play with better energy.

Most of the systems come from International basketball, from top European coaches and teams, such as Željko Obradović and Fenerbahce, Selcuk Ernak and Darussafaka, Pablo Laso and Real Madrid, Svetislav Pešić and Barcelona, Ioannis Sfairopoulos and Maccabi Tel Aviv...

All videos / courses are edited and highlighted with lines, arrows, comments, plus enlarged details with KlipDraw Animate tools.

Coaches, let's go to work! Any feedback very welcomed.

You can find Top 40 Sideline-Out-Of-Bound systems from Euroleague 2020/21. Euroleague is 2nd best basketball competition in the world and there are many players that played in NBA in the past and many prospects that will play in NBA in the future. Check how former NBA coaches Igor Kokoškov and Ettore Messina run ATO SLOB situations. Check EOG quick hitters, check classic ZIPPER series and check special situations from variety of top European teams.

All 40 video breakdowns are edited and highlighted with KlipDraw Animate tools, are easy to understand (no need for PDF playbooks) and easy to implement to your systems. You will find different alignment with different entries and exits, as well as some options against different coverages.

18 different top level European teams (Anadolu EFES, Real Madrid, Barcelona, CSKA, Maccabi, Fenerbahce, Panathinaikos, Milano...), 18 top level international coaches (Ettore Messina, Pablo Laso, Dimitris Itoudis, Ergin Ataman, Igor Kokoškov, Sarunas Jasikevicius, Martin Schiller...)...

The best the European basketball can offer.

Olympic games in Tokyo 2021 (should be 2020) were the best basketball event ever. So many stars, so many great players with NBA pedigree, so many top level coaches... USA took GOLD medal, France silver and Australia bronze. Slovenia at 4th position was Cinderella story of the Olympics...and many other teams showed why basketball is one of the top sports in the world. 

In this video course you will find 50 video breakdowns of the most effective "After Time - Out" systems from each and every of 12 teams that participated at Olympics. Some of the ATOs are very simple and easy, while the others are more complicated. Anyway of the ATO systems are easy to implement into your game. There are some ATO systems also with great reads and reactions based on defensive adjustments. 

You can find ATO systems to create from Pick&Roll, Pick&Pop, Spain Pick&Roll, hoax such as Blind Pig or back door cuts, systems with off - ball screens, back screens...

Let's go to work. Enjoy the game of beautiful basketball!

Pick&Roll is the most popular action in today's modern basketball. More than 50% of the game is about Pick&Roll...and here we are not talking about 2 : 2 game. Pick&Roll is much more. As an excellent coach said: Normal teams play PR with 2 players, decent teams play PR with 3 players, good teams play PR with 4 players and championship teams play PR with all 5 players. 

In this video course we dive deep into different ideas on how to attack different Pick&Roll coverages and offer you more than 101 ideas to create with all 5 players. In this course you will find more than 80 minutes of edited breakdowns and examples from high level basketball and learn how to react and attack:

> DROP defensive coverage
> FLAT defensive coverage
> HEDGE / BLITZ / SHOW defensive coverage
> TRAP defensive coverage
> ICE / SIDE defensive coverage
> SWITCH coverage
> UNDER coverage
and informations about SPAIN Pick&Roll, attacking Pick&Roll with BIG MAN as ballhandler and why "REJECT" (going away from screen) is always first option no matter what kind of defensive coverage opponent uses.
As an extra / bonus video you can watch analysis of Facundo Campazzo (player of Real Madrid at that time) using different techiques and ideas while attacking Pick&Roll, creating for himself and for the others.

In this course we will discuss different ideas, different use of OFF - BALL screens and different playtypes to help screen receiver to get open. OFF - BALL screen is offensive action where one offensive player sets screen on the defender who's not guarding player with the ball, helping his teammate to get open and to come to better position to receive the ball. We will discuss screener's and screen receiver's responsibilities and how to use different OFF - BALL playtypes. We will also learn about terminology when we talk about basketball tactics.

I divide OFF - BALL screen action into four basic groups and inside each group we have more special playtypes, more special situations to create from OFF - BALL screens.

1. Simple screens where screen receiver goes toward the passer: 
- PIN DOWN
- SCREEN AWAY
- STAGGER
- CROSS SCREEN
- ELEVATOR DOOR SCREEN / STACK SCREEN

2. "Complex" screens where screen receiver goes toward the passer:
- FLOPPY STAGGERS
- SCREEN THE SCREENER options
- VEER SCREEN
- RAM SCREEN
- KAMIKAZE / SCISSORS vs CHICAGO

3. Screens where screen receiver goes away from passer:
- FLARE SCREEN
- HAMMER SCREEN

4. Back screens where screener comes from down under and screen receiver cuts toward the rim:
- DIRECT BACK SCREENS + GRENADE
- SHUFFLE CUT SCREEN
- UCLA CUT SCREEN

In the course you will find more than 101 ideas to attack different OFF - BALL screens and more than 300 systems / breakdowns (over 115 minutes) to understand the basic rules and advanced options.

Dribble Hand Off and Hand Off situations are trending in modern basketball all over the world. It is a beautiful basketball. The best shooters like to use such situations and every team has to have systems to create from DHO or HOF. It is hard to guard such situations because defense is in position to react different than in Pick&Roll. Systems are made for players from position 1 to position 4. You will find great Xs&Os video breakdowns from top international teams (CSKA, Fenerbahce, Real, Zalgiris,...) and coaches (Pablo Laso, Sarunas Jasikevicius, Igor Kokoškov, Martin Schiller, Dimitris Itoudis...).

In this video course you will find more than 60 popular systems from international basketball, as well as some of the best NBA systems (not edited), plus startegic video breakdown and couple of player development pointers to develope dribble hand offs and hand offs. All lessons are edited with KlipDraw Animate tools and are easy to understand.

Player development is part of basketball, very known in US, but less in Europe. In last few years also top European teams hiring Player Development coaches and spending times on development of players, from young players to veteran players. More and more European players become high level NBA players, All Star and Super star players. Luka Dončić, Nikola Jokić, Bogdan Bogdanović, Goran Dragić etc. are the players that made their first basketball steps in Europe (ex - Yugoslavia) and were developed to be successful on the highest level of basketball - NBA. That indicates that player development in Europe is on high level.

We always lack time to make player development practices, therefore there is huge focus on developing through warm up with complex (multi skills) drills. Besides many drills for developing skills and decision making (video lessons), In this course you will also find video from Power Point presentation about theory of Player development in Europe, information on how, where, with whom, what and when to develope basketball skills, decision making, video analysis and tips for developing mental toughness. Most of the drills you can implement into your coaching systems. You can use most of the drills with all players, no matter of level and age.

With good player development you will rise individual qualities of your players and with rising individual quality you will be more successful as a coach and you will win more games.

In this course (Video PlayBook), Professional European Coach Luka Bassin gives out a complete collection of actions and sets that you can immediately implement in your offense.

You will learn:

• The Most Deadly X's and O's from Top European Basketball Teams
• Breakdown of Each Set and Play With Detalied Description
• Counters Plays To Each Set
• Sets For Special Situations
• Actions Designed For Specific Player Personnel 

This is video PlayBook of the best European "SPAIN" Pick&Roll Systems from European top teams and Naional teams. What is "SPAIN" (or "STACK") Pick&Roll action? It is a new variation of the Pick&Roll that has taken the NBA (and other basketball levels) by storm this year. The "Spain" Pick&Roll occurs when a screen is set for the ball handler, then a third player sets a screen on the player defending the man rolling to the rim. A normal Pick&Roll is used to create a two-on-one advantage — adding a third player essentially turns it into a three-on-two. System could be played in transition or as a set at all half-court areas (top or side). Could be played at empty or full side. Normaly we put our best ballhandler (mostly players at positions 1, 2 and 3) to play on the ball and our best shooter to be a back screener. "SPAIN" Pick&Roll can be implement in all level of basketball, from youth teams to top NBA teams.

Evolution of "SPAIN" Pick&Roll brings also an evolution of defense, so here You will find some adjustments to the systems also.

Why is it called "SPAIN" Pick&Roll still remains mystery...despite some "rumours" about Spain NT team used it first, but that is actually not the truth.

In the course you will find more than 50 different Systems out of different entries. There are different alignments considering who's ballhandler, who's the screener and who's back screener. On all videos there are highlighted points of emphasis edited with KlipDraw tools.

In this course you can see two complete player development clinics from Tallinn / Estonia, 6.7.2021 and 24.11.2021. We talk about the general rules of spacing for perimeter players and what it brings to have perfect spacing. Spacing is one of the keys for successful offense and a basic for good ball-movement and flow of the game. We also talked about following of players on the block during drives. How, when and where to react, based on your position and position of the driver.

On court topics:

> spacing in fastbreak (corridors)

> spacing in transition

> half court spacing of perimeter players

> 3 : 2 SPACING ADVANTAGE drill

> 2 : 2 and 3 : 3 CLOSE OUT drill

> 3 : 2 + 1 advantage drill

> 2 : 0 spacing / following from the block

> moving without the ball when ball is at low post

> 3 : 3 drill FLARE & SLIP

> 3 : 3 drill RIP to DHO

> Qs & As

Let's go to work and enjoy clinics.

In this course / clinic we talk about different rim finishes, which are absolutely necessary in modern basketball. There are athletic big men which will block classic lay ups. 

In Euroleague final game in 2016 between CSKA and Fenerbahce there was one single lay up attempt in the whole game. So, why teach lay ups when we don't use it. Why use lay ups in different drills when we don't use it?

Therefore, we must teach different "advanced" rim finishing such as:
> floaters
> eurostep
> same hand - same foot
> inside / outside hand finish
> second rim finish
> bump finish
> spin move
> up&under
> gather step finish

In this clinic we went through the teaching methodology and discuss different options.
Clinic took place in Tallinn / Estonia in December 2021.

This is video course is replay of Player Development Clinic from Tallinn / Estonia, on summer 2021. Footage of the clinic is also highlighted with the most important things, plus bonus video clips from high level basketball, showing game skills.

In this course, at this clinic, you will find:

> classification of different basic Pick&Roll coverages

> Pick&Roll continuation Warm up drill

> Dribble Handoff to Pick&Roll continuation Warm up drill

> 3 : 0 and 3 : 3 drill / situation - Attacking DROP defense (SPACING, Roll, "Hostage" dribble, "Gortat" move, decision making...)

> 3 : 0 and 3 : 3 drill / situation - Attacking ICE defense on empty side (changing angle of the screen, baseline drive, attacking DHO after reverse pass, decision making...)

> 3 : 0 and 3 : 3 drill / situation - Attacking ICE defense on full side (changing angle of the screen, SPACING, TIMING, "Snake" move, decision making...)

> extra clips from high level basketball on attacking DROP with Hostage and Gortat, using "Nash" dribble, on attacking ICE with Snake

> extra clip on attacking SWITCH with "Boomerang"

In this course you will find many rules and "musts" for successful Pick&Roll game, many TIPS to be more effective and other important things considering Pick&Roll, which is the most important way of attacking the opponents' basket and key for good offense.

This course is dedicated to SHOOTERS. And #ShootersShoot. One of the most important tactical tasks of coach is to put your SHOOTERS into position to create, to SHOOT. If SHOOTERS just wait for SPOT UP shots, they will be effective and good, but real SHOOTERS look for situations and positions to SHOOT even more. Three-point shot is the key in today's basketball. It happened for the first time in history that, during NBA 2020 Play Off, more points were made with SHOTS from behind 3-point-line than from the paint. So, it is absolutely necessary to have systems where we will "free" our SHOOTERS and put them in positions to SHOOT.

In this course you will find 60 systems from International basketball, from top European teams such as Zalgiris, Real Madrid, Milano, Barcelona, Anadolu Efes, Virtus Bologna etc. and coaches such as Pablo Laso, Svetislav Pešić, Ioannis Sfairopoulos, Sarunas Jasikevicius, Ergin Ataman, Aleksandar Djordjević...

You will find sets:

- ELEVATOR DOOR SCREENS

- HAMMER SCREENS

- FLOPPY STAGGERS, CLASSIC STAGGERS

- SETS FROM "FAKE" PICK&ROLL ENTRIES

- SETS WITH "FALSE" MOTIONS

...and other PIN DOWNS and SCREEN AWAYS.

One of the World's Basketball trend is Pick&Roll game where Big Man (PF/C) plays as Ballhandler and Perimeter as Screener. Such Plays are Hard to Defend because It is mostly Surprise and Screener is normally Great SHOOTER, so his Defender will be Focused only on Him and won't be Ready to HELP. On the other Side Big Men today are such a Good Ballhandlers and Creators that can easily Play on the Ball.

In this course you will find 20 sets from all parts and levels of the Basketball, with Edited and Highlighted Points of Emphasis.

My team uses such sets during last few seasons and I found them very effective and beneficial.

Feedback, review and rating very appreciated! Thanks

Advanced scouting is must have in modern basketball if you want to win more games and be ready / prepared for your next opponent. Advanced scouting is the process of collecting informations about your next opponent, putting and selecting informations into paper work and video reports, drawing diagrams of systems, preparing head coach, staff and players to know offensive and defensive tendencies of the team we face, as well as qualities and weaknesses of individuals in opponent's team. 

In this course I present you techincal equipment you need, scouting techniques to make observations and to make quality reports, how to watch, think and observe games and the most important thing how to select informations that are cruical for our future success, informations and tendencies to be prepared and ready to win more games. And to educate our players. 

In the course you will find examples of advanced scouting reports that I made (paper work and video reports) and step-by-step tutorial to produce quality reports. By quality reports I mean the reports that are simple, effective and interesting, not too short, not too long...the video and paper reports that your can keep focus on and remember the important things, remember the startegy and believe you that such reports can help them win more games and play better.

We must know: We do advanced scouting reports for players first. We do the reports to be ready for our opponent, we do the reports to improve...

Presentation of video reports is also thing that build your players' mentality and knowledge. We must do everything we can to catch the interest of players.

Pick&Roll is the most used system in today's basketball at all levels and all world's places. Most of the teams play Pick&Roll systems in more than 50% of the time. The main Pick&Roll ballhandlers and creators are Point Guards, but every team also needs secondary ballhandler who will create and make offense more verstile and effective. Therefore SHOOTING GUARDS (or small forwards) are back up options to play Pick&Roll. 

In this video course you will find 46 systems from top international teams and coaches to put your shooting guard or small forward to position to play Pick&Roll as secondary ballhandler. Shooting guard mostly starts the set without ball in his hands, so it is necessary to use entry screen, handoff or dribble handoff to put ball in hands of shooting guard. More dynamic the way is, better position shooting guard has to play successful and effective Pick&Roll.

Let's go to work!

One of a kind course, where you can find Top 40 Baseline-Out-Of-Bound systems from Euroleague teams and top coaches such as Ettore Messina, Sarunas Jasikevicius, Igor Kokoškov, Ergin Ataman etc. There is at least one system from each Euroleague team from 2020/21 season.

Anadolu EFES, Fenerbahce, Olympiacos, CSKA, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Olimpia Milano, Maccabi, Panathinaikos... are just a few from many famous European teams which run modern and effective BLOB systems.

All systems can be easily implemented to your game. There are many EOG / ATO systems, as well systems to create shot, post up position or Pick&Roll situation.

All 40 systems are highlighted and edited with KlipDraw tools and are easy to understand.

One of the new trends in international basketball is creation of the shot from POST UP positions or let me say POST UP creation for your SHOOTERS. Such situations became popular for a simple reason: SHOOTER (most of the time) sets BACK SCREEN (RIP) for big man and forces his defender (X2) to HELP / BUMP, therefore is late to defend HOF or DHO situations with SHOOTERS. The other popular concepts are STAGGER from HELP side or FLARE from BALL side. Another reason for such situation is that SHOTS that become from passes from LOW POST are easy to CATCH and % is higher than normal.

In this course you will find 27 different systems (mostly from International basketball) with different players at LOW POST (from PGs to Centers) and different players in role of SHOOTERS.

All clips (except Fenerbahce 2020) are highlighted, commented and edited with KlipDraw Animate tools.

Let's go to work and enjoy clips!

Footage of basketball clinic that takes place in Tallinn (Estonia) in December 2021. 

At clinic we talk about proper corridors to run fastbreak and basic rules of team fastbreak.
There are 3 : 0 drills with different finishes, 4 : 0 drills and rules when we add big man as a trailer, advantage drills (2:1+1, 3:2+1 and 4:3+1), as well drills to use while developing fastbreak such as "Indiana" drill and "5 - ball continuation drill".

How has Luka Dončić adapted to the NBA so easily? So effortlessly? 

Many People across the league have wondered since his arrival to Dallas. He has since made himself a household name. On the verge of becoming a franchise player with the Mavericks and talks of a potential breakout MVP year. However, how did he get there? 

Luka Dončić became the youngest player in Real Madrid's history to make his league debut. Real Madrid won seven titles with Doncic, who played 216 matches for the club and captivated fans with his talent, charisma and spectacular play on the court. 

When he was 13, Doncic signed a contract with Real Madrid that made him well known on the European circuit. He became the youngest player in history to make his team debut at the age of 16.

Those concerns about his contributions to the team were allayed by Doncic's 2017-18 campaign. While collecting his third Liga ACB championship, he was also named the league MVP. Furthermore, he assisted Real Madrid to win the EuroLeague championship. The MVP award also went to him. Several experts believe that Real Madrid's 17'-18' team ranked among the best European teams of all time.

It's important to understand that years of hard work contributed to Luka’s success. Real Madrid's Head Coach Pablo Laso was a key component. Having coached players like Facundo Campazzo, Anthony Randolph and Rudy Fernandez with great success. Throughout Lukas' game, it was easy to see how coach Pablo Laso developed and broadened his game using different tactics and systems. 

Over 80 offensive systems are presented in this course, including fastbreaks, transitions, half-court sets, 3Zones, and other offensive techniques. There are 400 variations of basketball and more than 215 minutes (over 3 & half hours) of tactics and beautiful basketball.

Pick&Roll is by far the most used system in today's basketball. The best players in the world are the ones who can create for themselves or for teammates out of Pick&Roll situations. Point Guard is the best ballhandler of the team and player who plays the most Pick&Roll possessions. Our job as coaches is to find ways to put our best creator in position to make decisions. 

In this course you will find 45 lessons/systems for your Point Guard. You will find systems where you put your Point Guard in DYNAMIC position to attack and create. Because players are more and more athletic, defenses are more aggressive and static Pick&Rolls are part of the past. Therefore most of the sets you'll find in this course are sets with SET UP screens, DHOs and "flying" Pick&Rolls, which enable players to come to Pick&Roll with an ADVANTAGE and create easier and more effective.

Most of the systems come from International Basketball from top European teams like Žalgiris, Panathinaikos, Real Madrid, Olimpija, Fenerbahce, Maccabi, Valencia...

UNLEASH FANTASY and put your best ballhandlers and creators into dynamic position to play EFFECTIVE Pick&Roll!

Hi Coaches, hi Players!

This is complete guide to become self-confident SHOOTER or to teach your players how to become one of them. SHOOTING is the most important thing in BASKETBALL for a simple reason: you have to score if you want to win. And 3-point shot is becoming more and more popular and important all over the world. This course will show you how we teach to become self-confident SHOOTER and by WE, I mean the coaches in Slovenia. Slovenia is the land where Luka Dončić and Goran Dragić were born and started their basketball careers.

I believe that the most important thing about shooting is SELF-CONFIDENCE. It is also about balance, release, quickness, talent...but the most important is that player is self-confident. With drills in this course players will become more self-confident and the rim will "become bigger". Drills are highlighted with points of emphasis and commented by the author.

In this course you will find collection of drills that work, separated into three basic groups:

FORM SHOOTING DRILLS

BALANCE DRILLS and 

GAME SHOTS DRILLS.

At the end of the course you will also find some extra contents - breakdown of Sasu Salin, one of the best European shooters, and his use of OFF-BALL screens and reads, and short analysis on why CURL is very important if you are a SHOOTER.

In this advanced course you will learn everything about POST UP strategy, with edited videos from top Euroleague POST UP players... Brandon Davis and Nikola Mirotić from Barcelona, Gershon Yabusele from Real Madrid, Augustine Rubit and DeShawn Thomas from Bayern, Toko Shengelia from CSKA, Justin Reynolds from Maccabi are the names that will learn from.

In first part of the course we talk about ways to get open on the block: STEP IN moves, using cross screen, using SHUFFLE cut screen or UCLA cut are the basic strategy to get open on the low post.

In second part of the course we talk about different POST actions to come to position to finish:

> Middle to basket
> Baseline to basket
> Baseline SPIN
> DROP STEP
> DROP STEP extended
> STEP through
> UP&UNDER
> Semi HOOK
> SKY HOOK
> FADE AWAY of the dribble
> FADE AWAY no dribble
> FACE UP baseline
> FACE UP middle
> FACE UP jumper
> FLASH MIDDLE no dribble
> FLASH middle dribble finish
> POST PIN (Over the top)

In every lesson there are great video examples how and when to use above mentioned moves.

How many times were you angry and nervous when your player didn't catch the ball on the roll or follow... How many times were you frustrated when your player didn't react proper way in defense while denying passes or playing over play... It is about HANDWORK. And now ask yourself how many times you worked such things at practice. How many minutes you spent to develope HANDWORK? Like everything, we must teach and players must learn proper HANDWORK, we must develope proper position, quickness, reactions...in offense and defense. HANDWORK is very underrated when it comes to practices. What we do, more or less, is yelling "hands, hands, hands..." from sideline and expecting that players will do it. It doesn't go like that.

And what is handwork? HANDWORK is system of moves and positions which enable players to use hands as their weapon...on both sides of the floor. HANDWORK is a habit and we must develope this habit by the drills developing moving technique.

Here is the player development clinic that talks about developing HANDWORK. Clinic that will give you ideas, tips and drills to teach your players proper HANDWORK. Maybe some drills are not really interesting and difficult, but with such drills we will "buy" our players and will develope better HANDWORK...and win more games. We must convince our player that handwork is important...also by showing them clips of good and bad defense, and how different should be if the HANDWORK would be better.

We have introduction to clinic, basic handwork drills, handwork drills for offense and handwork drills for defense...but all the drills develope HANDWORK (together with FOOTWORK) for all levels and all phases of the game.

Most of the drills are individual drills that can be implement into your practices and even more important, can be part of time before or after practice.

Clinic is originally in Slovenian language but there are sub-titles in English and is understandable for everybody. I recommend this clinic to all coaches, especially youth level coaches. 

DIAMOND aka. T - offense entry is among most popular entries into set offenses all over the world. We have both big men on the blocks (5 at one side and 4 at the other side), one perimeter under the rim and the other on the free throw line. Most of the sets start with CHOOSING option by the player under the rim, followed by reaction of the other perimeter at free throw line. From there on team can go into different options. Featured video clips are edited with KlipDraw Animate tools with highlighted points of emphasis. In this course you will find 40 different plays:
