- BYU is currently on pace to become the fourth ever high-major to shoot more three-pointers than two-pointers in a season. This video breaks down the X's and O's, offensive concepts, and players behind Mark Pope's 5-Out offensive scheme. Including the Cougars' use of "zoom" action.

KENTUCKY FAN HERE .. IM EXCITED. WE RIDE
I'm pumped to actually see some coaching and strategy in our team.
This new team will be able to adjust in game way way better than calipary ever could. We will see a team that actually comes out and is better the second half than the first half for the first time in a long time
This video alone is saving alot of us UK fans mentals rn.. if we play like this, IM SO IN
Kentucky fans here to get a preview of our life after Calipari’s FAIL AND BAIL basketball. Will be fun to see what Pope and this offense can do with elite level players.
UK fan here and....alright fine I can get behind this. Lets go
Imagine you have a guy at the 5 whose a great passer, but can also handle the ball and shoot the three. Maybe a young European guy with a name that starts with Z? It'd be awful hard to guard the zoom action with a 40% 3PT shooter out there.
@@moeron69 it's funny I was just telling a buddy this morning that Z and Reed would absolutely thrive in this offense. I worry Z is headed to Arkansas though but hope I'm wrong.
@@mattmurray253 I think Z may be one who stays. Yes, Cal did go get him because his bigs were injured in the summer and he desperately needed a 7 footer. BUT BBN paid for a billboard to get this guy freed. His first game at Rupp, the response he got when he walked on the floor, hitting those shots. He HAD to feel that. That means something.
@Ryan_Rants meant nothing apparently. Sad because we showed out for him
Now I feel better after seeing this
Me too! Hang in there my friend. Gotta love having a coach that cares about UK.
Take this and realize the defense really can’t get worse. It’ll be ok. Can’t wait to have upperclassmen
Right?!
Uk fan scoping out the playing style. Pope's 96 college team was the best I have ever seen in my lifetime and I am an old dude. I like the style he plays. I am pulling for Pope to kill it at UK. He might be the only coach in the world who loves UK as much as the fans. Gotta love that!
Everybody hating on this hire is sad. He's exactly what we needed!!!
@@truck_it_23 they talk about calipari with dribble drive plays. This is the real dribble drive with actual pick and roll execution. Cals teams would just pass it around couple times around the arch and do nothing
@@georgedalton3712 I agree!
@@georgedalton3712Yeah, there sure was a lack of off ball movement a lot of times under Cal.
I remember seeing his wife and kids walking around outside of Rupp Arena when he coached Utah Valley State. They seemed like a sweet family and was in awe taking pics. I think the fans will embrace them and Mark.
Let’s go Coach…Kentucky fan here, I’m fully onboard ☝️
I will say that this video will help ease the mind of a LOT of UK fans myself included. Thanks for making it!
Watching this after UK hired Pope. As a UK fan, this makes me excited. Thank you
UK fan here. #BBN
I love seeing all the UK fans in the comments on this vid. This stuff means a lot to us and were just doing our own scouting on our new coach lol.
I watched this video when it first dropped a while back and thought "Oh well that's pretty cool. Could be the offense of the future"
Came back to watch it again after the news dropped. Lol. With UK resources and recruiting 100x better than BYU this could be legit. Trying to be positive
@@jasonralston8SAME
Agreed. Go Cats!
Can’t wait to see this offense at Kentucky!!
It would be awesome!
I can get behind this. We’re back!!! Go Cats!
Welcome to BBN
Can’t wait to see this kind of offense in Lexington next year
WHO'S READY TO SEE KENTUCKY PLAY LIKE THIS? LETS GO CATS!!
Imagine this offense with elevated talent like this years UK team filled with shooters and drivers and Z's passing skills at 7'1".
exactly!
@@CameronTucker06 Maybe it's just me... But I think Z could be a unicorn. That's what frustrated me so much about how Cal used him. Because to me big men need game time and touches to get comfortable. He's just too skilled to be stuck in the dunkers spot or constantly setting middle ball screens over and over.
Great Video, needed info about Mark Pope bc hes Kentuckys new coach. seems like a solid coach that knows his X’s and O’s. thank you for this video!
LETS GO POPE! #BBN
BYU has some of the best playmaking in the nation. Their players aren't as athletic as the elite teams but they make up for it with SMART basketball and 3 oint snipers.
UK fan here, this is a breath of fresh air! I could've seen Tre Mitchell killing that role their center was playing. And I can see big Z coming back and doing that even better!
UK fan here.
I'm from the town over where Reeds parents live and where Reed went to H.S.
My friend told me today that they know someone who has been talking to Reeds parents. Evidently he's waiting til the coach was announced and then gonna announce his return to UK. Might be Sunday. I'm so amped if that's true
@@jasonralston8 if this is true I'm going to be very pumped.
Big Z headed to the transfer portal now. I agree, he would’ve been a great fit in this offense.
Kentucky fans we here coping
Fr
40504 👊🏻
I will say…this offense just needs a few higher caliber players and it could go with any team in the country
I’m looking for anyone selling hopium right now lol can’t believe we ran off Cal….
i think we’re gonna be alright
As a Cats fan I don’t hate the hire like 90% of the fan base. Pope is a former champion at UK and clearly a good Xs and Os guy. The big complaint I see is about recruiting, which at the university of Kentucky in the NIL era will never be a issue imo. I’m cautiously optimistic as it stands
Watched this video when it first dropped. Weird how this is gonna be our offense but I'm kind of excited. Let's run it
#BBN
How you feeling now?? I feel like he and his staff did an amazing job recruiting these guys…We got a squad full of snipers now 🤙
@@BlueBloodUK110 Agreed man, so far so good. I also think if we have a good season and make a bit of a run in the tournament, like at least sweet sixteen, we will be back to landing 5 star talent now with a coach that can actually utilize them in 2024 and beyond
Watched this team play UCF. Khalifa’s passing and IQ is nuts and they shoot the lights out. Hope that khalifa guy does some work in the big leagues.
They play efficient basketball
Thanks for shedding light on BYU. Their offense is extremely unique in college basketball and not a lot of teams are successful at scheming for it. Their weaknesses in the tournament will be free throws, clutch moments, and beating teams soundly, but right now they can run with anyone.
Fun to watch. The center is making those Jokic level anticipation bounce passes.
As a BYU fan, this year has been a revelation. Just such a fun offense to watch.
Preciate you letting us borrow your coach…We promise to take good care of him…BBN!!🤙
LETS GO BBN
Imagine if all these guys were super athletes on top of this and you might see why defense in the NBA is harder than it's ever been
for real 😭 imagine a team like OKC operating on this system. defending that would be almost impossible
The defense in the NBA is harder now because of rule changes and them taking away hand checking. You can't touch a player in the league now without an official calling a foul. It's a shame TBH.
@@Wetrockstah2116I think it’s harder primarily because the players are so multifaceted and just good at offense and shooting
@@purdmangolf the NBA has always had skilled players and athletes, but after the pistons won an NBA championship from playing dominant defense they changed alot of stuff. I really wish they would bring back hand checking because alot of players that score alot in the league would be getting shut down. The game is to score baskets and keep the other team from scoring baskets, when you basically handicap the defense by the way the game is called is a true shame. Because we will never see another player like Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant because those guys were built off the defense they faced and competition they went up against on a game by game basis. Imagine trying to guard anybody without being allowed to put your hands on them, then imagine how much easier it would be if you could put a hand on them and keep them from going in certain directions, the NBA went downhill from that point imo. If they brought it back it could literally make the NBA 10 times better and it wouldnt be a 3 point shooting contest every game when you can run dudes off the line.
@@Wetrockstah2116 yeah but imagine MJ and Kobe facing contestant double teams and zone defenses and help schemes like the modern nba allows. Illegal defense barely allowed help defense in the 80s and 90s.
The nba certainly did not always have the average skill level, ball handling ability, shooting prowess that it has today. 20 players made over 200 3s last season, in 1996 only 3 players did. 36 players shot over 40% from deep last year. 17 did it in 1996.
In my opinion the nba is the best it has ever been and you are glorifying the hand check era with rose tinted lenses. Obviously certain things may be going a bit too far, like the lack of traveling enforcement and carrying, and excessive foul baiting (which they are fighting back against).
But the league has Steph, Lebron, Giannis, SGA, Wemby, Jokic, Embiid, Zion, Luka, Durant, Kawhi, Kyrie, Brunson, Haliburton, AD, the beard, the brow, Sengun, Banchero, Randle, Porzingis, Trae Young…the list of incredibly skilled and entertaining and tough amazing players goes on and on and yet you’re stuck on Jordan and Kobe. Oh yeah I almost forgot this old guy named LeBron.
I would like to know what you think hand checking could do to deter a guy like Steph. Or Zion. Or Gianni’s. Etc. Imagine those guys playing when sagging off your man weak side to help was basically not allowed. Packing the paint, not allowed. The defense was better back then because the offensive spacing was worse and the lane was clogged because everyone hung out inside the three point line. Defenders now are far quicker stronger more explosive and athletic and the defensive schemes more advanced.
#BBN Up in here wonderin what we gonna look like offense wise😊
Go Big Blue!!!!
As a guy who loves football X’s and O’s and is coaching football, but never played basketball beyond middle school, I love this channel for breaking down the actual strategy behind basketball. Great content!
Excited for the our new coach. Go Cats
Let's Go Cats
This was my slight sleeper team going into march as a real contender. Here's some publicity for that, and gets at why I've liked watching them this year
I absolutely love this bbn gonna be a monster with a good coach not recruter the recruits will come we need a coach
This Cougar team has been the most exciting to watch since Jimmer was there. Great analysis and editing with this video. That's a lot of hard work.
Great breakdown. OU got away with the drop coverage because Khalifa wasn't playing. Fouss isn't really an outside threat so it worked. But with Khalifa on the floor that game probably would have looked very different.
Would love Ivisic in the big role
At least he is a better coach then Cal. Welcome to UK 🎉.
probably, but what kind of team can he put together 20 days before portal closes, no one on the roster
@@thereddrobtons of good players will be available in the portal. Pope should be able to bring over 4 or 5 good players from BYU and 4 star Collin Chandler who I believed finished his mission this year
I hope youre right and we get some good players that Pope can work with here at Kentucky 🙏@nathanbrown3069
What a complete nonsense statement
Guess us UK fans might as well get excited.
Well this was like seeing a ghost to be honest... I don't follow College Basketball all that much, not usually until March Madness just due to the coaching schedule we have in Europe. Of course I'm aware of BYU as a program but I've never sat and methodically broken down their offense for my own sakes.. however it would appear that I have a doppelganger in coach form running things in BYU right now 🤣 Our styles of basketball are quite scarily similar.
Högsbo Lions - Superettan Herr (Sweden)
Cool video man 👌
Imagine kentucky running this system with better athletes wait thats whats happening
Kentucky fan/2k player here I’m on board with the 5 out. If we can get the players…
they are the most fun team to watch
Great video. As a BYU fan, absolute spot on. Oklahoma was smart in their decision to drop coverage since BYU was missing Khalifa that game and we lacked his 3 point threat.
Pope has done an amazing job IMO of adapting the offense even within conference play. The actions are all still the same , but how we attack each team based on their decisions of how to play D have been better with each game. We started conference 2-4 and are now 6-5.
UK fan here: should we be hype? Most fans disappointed with Pope rn.
@@theknubbles5075 It could really go either way. BYU is a unique job. It is hard to recruit the best talent here because of the honor code, but I think Pope has done really really well in getting as good of talent as he can get. He’s a very hard working and good recruiter.
Want he doesn’t have is any titles or tournament wins. IMO, his coaching has definitely lost us games, including our most recent tournament loss to Duquesne.
It’s tough to say whether or not the superior talent he will get at UK will be able to get him over the edge of winning tournament games. I assume it will, but wining 1-2 tournament games isn’t what UK aspires to, so who really knows if he can go all the way. Hasn’t shown it yet, but he also hasn’t had the talent and recruiting tools to possibly get him there.
Amazing video, this was a great breakdown of everything. First year I’ve watched BYU play and wow they are fun to watch
I had to come back to the video after the Kansas game. Sadly it was gone but now it's back!!!!
That 3 has changed the game It’s honestly made it more strategic than ever.
Anyone go to the press conference today in Rupp? Completely filled, standing room only in the corridors and stopped letting people into the main building. 30,000+ people showed up to see the introduction of Coach Mark Pope. 5,000-10,000 were turned away :)
ISU fan and they carved us up earlier in the year. Great Team O. They run some actions similar to GSW.
Oh yeah i forgot about that. An even better win now that its clear yall are a legitimate championship contender.
Can’t wait to see how the game against you guys tomorrow goes, I’m not expecting a win for the cougs since you guys are undefeated at home this season but I’m certainly excited to see how it goes.
@@goaliegrizz8925 I fully expected a back and forth affair
@@goaliegrizz8925 wild game!
@@BuzzworthyBand no kidding, I was happy it was close and BYU fought but man it’s hard to watch us have it and throw it away! Hopefully they learn to control the ball
I need Khalifa playing for UK next year. I like his game
BYU makes it hard for opposing teams to even think about doubling the post because they run a lot of empty side action to keep help D away from the post. If the D wants to try and bother the post or bring an extra helper, they have to bring them all the way over from the opposite side of the floor and it exposes their D and puts them at a huge disadvantage.
Had Pope had this past seasons Kentucky roster they would have won a national championship and gone 40-0
Has a lot of similarities to the Princeton Offense. Post as the facilitator. Split screen action with different reads, with an emphasis on Rejects. All of the back door opportunities. The “Zoom” action in the strong side corner with cutting opportunities is basically “Point Follow” or “Point Over” in the Princeton.
Super effective with that spacing and shooting threats on the perimeter. Great breakdown as always!!
This is how I tried to get my 14u rec team to play back in the day, they didn't like not getting set and running set plays
Great Team, great Coach
Go Cats! 1996 team was incredible. Pope will bring a title within 5 years. Mark it down.
How many views did this video have 24 hours ago?!?
And Khalifa has a knee injury that really hurts and he needs surgery but he didn't want to let his teammates down.
thanks for highlighting one of the most entertaining teams in history
Love your content! Your Breakdown videos are so helpful as a coach 🙏🏾
Is a drop down coverage a solution for the Zoom Action and just hope they don’t go off from the 3pt line? I believe the Bucks won the Championship with dropped coverage packing the paint and allowing 3s but no easy layups.
Fantastic break down thank you! Go Cougars!
And a ton of upvotes and views from UK fans watching this content! Got a sub from me!
Welcome back home to Kentucky coach!!!
Great video. Would love to see you breakdown Baylor’s 1-1-3 matchup zone defense. Super weird defense but it’s been working
Another Kentucky fan, here. Thanks for helping talk me down off the ledge.
Would've loved to see our guys free-flowing like that this past season!
so glad you put it back up i love this offense
UK - BBN !! Welcome home Pope!!
Gave my team I coach this video years ago. This zoom and pistol offense is awesome. Especially if you have guys who don't care about iso ball all the time. Reminds me of Indiana State style. #BBN
🔥🔥 breakdown as always, look forward to more content as March approaches !
Great overview of the different options coming out of Zoom. Super easy to understand!
Awesome video dude!
Aly Khalifa is a great shooter and defender when he was at the Charlotte 49ers, he helped them win the CBI tournament and even more of their games. This year I missed seeing him play for Charlotte but I’m glad he’s on a better collage basketball team since they’re now in March Madness (probably won’t make it pass the first round tbh)
Great content!!
Omg Kentucky this is what weve been waiting for.....BBN needs to get all the way behind this coach. I was so sick of the stagnant Dribble Drive and im so excited for Zoom.
Lets get this done!!!
Pope gonna bring it home to the Big Blue!!
Very good analysis!
Great breakdown, sir! What a fun and lethal offense. Will have my eye on BYU in the tourney for sure.
😂😂 yup,I’m a UK fan,and I think most of us feel or felt the same way and that was we might be in bad shape but idk,Pope has been running a really good team at BYU and fundamentally way better than what Cals been doing WITH THE TOP RECRUITS in the country year after year and can’t coach em to save his damn life,Arkansas fans are about to see,Cal absolutely can NOT coach,he’s a fantastic recruiter and probably a good guy(which from what I heard on the Matt Jones show,that’s even questionable) but recruiting isn’t as critical as it once was with NIL money,but anyway, I think UK is heading in the right direction,Pope seems to be a fantastic coach and with the resources of UK,he should have access to more and better players,we shall see I reckon ✌️
Great work
Great breakdown.
Love your analysis
Go Big Blue!
Any chance you could talk about A&M and their emphasis on offensive rebounding and second chance points? Currently they have a 6'7 Dennis Rodman 2.0 named Andersson Garcia from the Dominican Republic and he is currently SECOND in the nation for offensive rebounding. All while coming off the bench. Guy had a 2 game sec stretch with 33 total rebounds and almost half were offensive!
This is fantastic.
New subscriber after watching this. Great stuff
Great movement. Great shooters. Fun to watch. Go Cougs
Lets go Coach Pope, welcome back home big guy 💪🏻 gonna be fun to watch
That zoom play is why Oakland kicked our butts
Great video
I’m stoked.
Hi Jordan. The fake handoff read in zoom action really looks like a movefrom the triangle offense, pinch post action. Old centers, less mobile than today, used to do this all the time for the guards.
Let’s go Mark! GBB!
Congrats wtih unblock video! Finally i can watch it
I love Hurley’s version with Karaban as the pin down screener and the slip or pop for a 3
Great analysis. Have you ever considered how similar this is to the 49ers' offense when Deebo is playing? Same schemes, different ball.
This is such a good video
That’s my coach! #UKMakeIt9
Great video coach P will do just fine here at Ky we have some crazy fans and we have some great fans we just want to win and get to know the players again thank u for vidio
Interestingly, one of the only 3 teams to shoot more threes than BYU is Indiana State, who (despite a dud a couple days ago), is 26th in offensive efficiency and leads nation in eFG%.
Well done
