What it is
- Their Anchor Big is killing our Slashers in the paint" is a problem.
- Slasher vs. Anchor Big (a favorable Anchor Big matchup).
- Notice patterns (opponent's Anchor Big is dominating the post, our Slashers are open every drive, our Shot Creator is not getting the ball).
How it works
- The opponent makes a halftime adjustment.
- The team's offensive adjustment is: "Run more PnR to attack the zone's weaknesses" or "Position shooters on the perimeter to space the zone." Zone defense's weakness is that it covers space, not players.
- Beyond halftime, coaches adjust on-the-fly during the game.
- Hot shooter: Get them the ball more.
- Cold shooter: Use them for spacing, not scoring.
