FIBA AMERICAS CHAMPIONSHIP 2009, WOMEN

TEAM CHARACTERISTICS
Total team effort on both ends of the floor. Hard playing, aggressive team with balance and consistency. Good spacing and shot selection help puts points on the board. Use of post players and patience are benefits. Defensively they keep offense off balance with many different half and full court attacks.

TRANSITION

Transition relies on quick passes up the floor to wings. Wing players can make open shots but would rather penetrate or pass to post. Post run to the lane to catch and score. Quickness helps advance ball and put defense in vulnerable situations.

OFFENSIVE TENDENCIES

Team has the ability to score from every position. Posts step out and play on the perimeter effectively. Posts on ball screen, step out the shoot, penetrate, or flash to the paint. Use high/low action to get ball reversed or inside to low post.

SET PLAYS

High post reversal, down screen, baseline runner off screens.
Cross screen, double down screen, slip to the basket to score.
On ball screen and step back by screener. Isolation play on right side.
Cross screen, high post pop out, baseline runner for shot.
Double high on ball screen, high/low pass for shot in paint.

ZONE OFFENSE

3 out/2 in set with baseline runner. Posts occupy high and low post and flash into paint on ball reversal. Posts are good passers to open shooters after post catch.

OB PLAYS

1-4 baseline set with pop out and double baseline runners. Also use stack set to free shooters and follow with baseline runners.

DEFENSIVE CHARACTERISTICS

Multiple defensive team. Mix man to man, half court zone, full court run and jump, and full court pressing. Quickness and aggressive on ball pressure force offense to make extra passes and force shots. Will trap out of any defense and rotate to steal the next pass. Defensive effort is a big part of their team.
