    I think it would be awesome if there was an action sheet that we could give our players.
    Example:
    If you have the ball these are your possible actions:
    With the Ball:
    Dribble at
    Hit the cutter off of the 1st dribble
    Draft drive
    Real estate drive
    Dribble to the spot; don’t pick up dribble

    drive to real estate
    drive for layup or pullup jumper
    pass to safety or post who is post sliding
    bounce off if drive isn’t there

    draft drive after a cut
    drive for layup or pullup jumper
    pass to safety
    bounce off if drive isn’t there

    shoot if within your range.

    Pass and cut
    Backscreen for perimeter player
    Shape up for a shot

    Backscreen for post player

    Post

    Fill out

    I’m trying to work on one but there are so many actions. If anyone has one please share. What I have above is my start. LOL

    I would love to get it on a note card that I can hand to my players at the beginning of the season and tell them to review it every day. Maybe get QB wrist bands and have them wear them during practice so they can review when they are off the court.

    I’m not totally convinced one is needed. The player with the ball can literally do what he wants within the confines of the layers. Drill the layers. The players will not get all the layers at once, and that’s OK. There is more freedom with the R&R than with many other offenses. It will take some time for all players to get used to that, and once again, that’s OK. Different players will pick up different actions at a different rate. This is fine. I’ve had guys fall in love with the draft drive once they saw film of the opportunity. I’ve told players that the best way to curry favor with me was to learn the read line. Worked for some. One guy figured out the laker cut with a player in the SC against a zone meant he was going to get the ball back with a chance at a lay up. It was his dream move. I never had anything more than Ricks pyramid diagram, and we did fine with that.
    I attended a clinic where Rick mentioned that basketball is a tournament sport, and everything did not have to be in place on the day of the first game. A light bulb went off for me and calmed me down. Build toward a continuing loop of progress so when the season ends and the tourney starts, you are ready to wage war with your full arsenal.
