Crotia

 

2011 World Championships

Team Characteristics
Very balanced and determined team on both ends of the floor. Offensively they have several different players that can score, including posts that can score inside and out. Will take advantage of quick break situations, turnovers, and long rebounds. Defense is solid and provides good pressure on the ball as well as weak side support. They block out well and control the defensive boards. 

 

Offensive Tendencies    
Drive the ball aggressively in the half court with goal to get to the rim and score. Posts step out or pick and pop for open jump shots. Good use of one ball screens for shots or pentration. Post go hard to offensive glass. 

Transition    
Whether a fast or slow break they will get the ball to their point guard. Ball driven hard down middle of the floor opening up opportunities for shooters on wing. 

Set Plays
1.   Reverse through high post to screen and roll to post.   
2.    Wing entry, cut through to ball side corner, high/low pass to post.  
3.     High post entry, back screen, down screen, on ball screen and penetrate.


Out of Bounds    
Main goal is to get ball safely inbounds the flow into offense by getting ball to point guard. 


Defense Tendencies    
Aggressive man to man defensive philosophy. Active hands and good quickness creates turnovers and transition baskets.
