Film Room With Coach Spins Episode 1: Pick-and-Roll Defense in the NBA
Ever wonder how and why certain tactics are used in the NBA? Now Coach Spins (Coach Adam Spinella of Washington & Jefferson College) can help break it down. Each episode in the Film Room will feature a unique look at NBA strategy, teaching points and more.
In the pilot episode, Coach Spins takes a dive into the seven most common ball-screen defenses you will see in professional basketball. Whether it’s double-teaming a screen, switching a pick-and-roll or funneling the ball-handler away from the rim, you’ll be able to identify how they’re used and where each coverage has a defined weakness.
