    MALI
    WOMEN’S OLYMPIC BASKETBALL, 2008 
     
    Team Characteristics
    Very athletic and offensively talented team. Share the ball well on offense to create balanced scoring
    and good inside/outside attack. Can effectively cover the floor from baseline to baseline with good
    +defensive pressure and rotation. The ability to block shots allow them to push pressure out on the
    floor and deny passes.

    Offensive Tendencies
    Early action in the possession leads to quick isolation or individual moves to score. Getting the ball
    to the post is a priority and an effective way to score and get to the free throw line. Good mix of set
    plays to get specific players to productive areas of the floor. Will combine half court motion with set
    plays and isolation situations.

    Transition
    Long rebounds and quick outlet passes ignite the break. All five players are capabale of running the
    floor and scoring off the break. Post run the floor hard to score on passes from the perimeter. Guards
    will receive outlet and drive the length of the floor if not stopped.

    Set Plays
    1. Wing entry, fake hand off and ball reversal, post isolation
    2. UCLA cut, ball reversal, shuffle cut, double down

    Out of Bounds
    From box set, options are flash from weak side, slip, and open shot off screen. If shot does not
    materialize, they flow into half court offense.

    Team Defense
    Aggressive half court and full court man to man pressure. Basket protectors block and alter shots in
    he paint. Mix defenense between 2-3 zone and man to man pressure. Long and athletic defenders
    cause problems for the opponent. Force turnovers on defensive end which result in easy baskets.
