Beilein vs. 2-3 Zone

Submitted by MGoBender on

Randomly putzing around on the YouTubes, I came across this.  This is awesome material, not just for the video breakdown but also because the guy drew up all the play diagrams as well (link below).  Must see stuff for those that like to breakdown basketball the way many breakdown football on this site (Also, for those who, in your weakest moments, say "OMG BEELINE DOESN'T RUN AN OFFENSE, THEY JUST PASS THE BALL AROUND."  I keed, I keed.)

 

PDF of the play diagrams:

Very cool stuff and some of it gets kinda complicated.  And, note this is just stuff JB has run against the 2-3, which is probably the least common defense you see at the college level.  I'd be interested in seeing which of this stuff they also try to implement against the 1-3-1.  Makes me want to go back and watch some of the games against Matta's 1-3-1.

Enjoy!

Edited to make comment meant to be in jest more in jest.

Game threads are of full of idiocy.  People come up with a lot of dumb things to say in the heat of the moment.  I would not take that as a measure of the fanbase as a whole.

There is too much of this pre-emptive arguing ("This is for ___________") going on here in general.   A lot of people - even some of the writers - are guilty of it.  It just invites more arguing.   ("I never said that.  You're mischaracterizing my position...")  

Just state your position.  You don't need to pre-emptively defend it.

Well, first it was meant to be in jest so I edited it to make it more obvious.

Second, I don't think the fact that it's a game thread is an excuse for idiocy.  I'm idealistic in that manner because I would love to talk about strategy and sets and plays and defensive options at a high level in real-time.  You used to be able to do that for basketball before the bandwagon filled up.
