always happy when you post your videos, i have learned so much from your channel and able to recognize a play before it is ran when im watching an nba game now, keep it up
I have heard the term, "Pistol Keep" used when the receiver at the step-screen area catches & doesn't return it to the INITIAL ballhandler, then receives a screen HIMSELF as the new ballhandler. I have also heard the term, "Pistol/ 21-A.T." where the receiver DHOs to the screener. Basically a dribble-At for Blake Griffin to drive.
The Lakers' got a huge dunk off " Pistol" in Summer League with Ingram. Only problem is, a Left-hander should been catching the entry pass. Better than Elbow because a perimeter guy is catching the pass.
The Steph Curry Option was Pistol/21-Down: Initial pass to the "trailing Big" instead of Step-Up screen guy, dive to the rim off that backscreen should equal an Alley-Oop dunk for other Aggressive teams. GSW is more of a Finesse team with Steph Curry being the option for screen & pop out.
Hi coach, I have a question: couldn't the pistol action be used in the start of the triangle offense? Everybody says the triangle needs to be more "modern", that seems a very natural way of surprising teams that go through the motions when defending it at the start
I'm not sure, it's not a perfect fit. Yes the pistol and the triangle begin with a pass to the wing but the flare screen is not really aligned with the triangle.
thanks for answering. I see what you say. Maybe it could be used sporadically just to make teams doubt whether it's triangle or something else. Personally I like the triangle, but what i like the most is breaking it at different points, if that makes sense. Use the offense as a base but be aggressive surprising defenses. Didn't really understand the pistol action before. Watching the video I thought that in that sense could be used from a seemingly triangle set to get away from it
guillembad I like your idea, having used the Triangle Offense as a coach for 5 years, you can take Early Offense Pinch Post & just move the ELBOW guy farther out near the sideline. The very 1st time I saw 21 Series/ Pistol Offense, I called it a Pinch Post knockoff..... Lmao !!!
Thanks coach, the hawks use forehead/pistol as part of gameplan against Knicks because elfrid Payton is inconsistent shooting the rock through the years, according to what I learned here.
ditto love your videos, question. so im a Clippers fan & seen the last clip with golden state doing this action with green with the ball at the top of the key. if Blake plays him up (more ball pressure) would this play still be successful?
+Andrew Williams-Watson Yes because Green is a good ball handler he could then attack the basket. Best way to defend that play in that scenario would be to have DJ sag big time off Ezeli to take away the pass to Barnes. CP3 would stick to Curry preventing the 3.
Take the Pinch Post Guy (Triangle Offense & move him farther away from lane line & PRESTO, 21 Series/Pistol Offense. Biggest difference is the WEAKSIDE low post guy goes to Top of Key, but the same Weak Side Pindown Screen goes on. Ain't nothing new.
so its just keeping the big man high to clear out the lane and then just playing smart street ball... this shit should all be intuitive to a basketball player. If its not, work on your game! Pass and cut, pick and roll. good job on the explanation tho!
Lakers new roster with SPOT-UP SHOOTER, Danny Green receiving the pass and receive the Flare Screen after passing back to Lebron James. 😀😀😀 Automatic Pindown Screen anytime the ball reaches the Top of Key for a pass to LEFT WING KCP

Awesome video coach, really appreciate all the effort you put in!

Pistol-RICKY =return to previous side of that Flare Screen.
Weakside BIG should set a Pindown Screen for that Corner Shooter at the same time the ball is reaching the Top of Key shooter of the Flare Screen.
damnn daniel!
Gene Yang bruh
what's the difference between "Pistol" and "21"? They kind of look similar
great breakdown

Keep It Up Coach I Learn A lot Just From Your Videos ! Do More Raptor Defense / Offense Videos
Keep up the vids coach!!
Did the Sacramento Kings run this offense in the 90's but called it the "Liberty Offense"?
Take the Pinch Post Guy (Triangle Offense & move him farther away from lane line & PRESTO, 21 Series/Pistol Offense. Biggest difference is the WEAKSIDE low post guy goes to Top of Key, but the same Weak Side Pindown Screen goes on. Ain't nothing new.
Hey coach, what does a Rip and a Fist action mean? Thanks
Pretty sure rip means screen the screen action. Fist im not sure, but if you haven't already ask Half Court Hoops he'd definitely know.
I am 4 years late but rip is a back screen and fist is some sort of ball screen.
Great video
Jordan Clarkson (L.A. Lakers) ran the Pistol KEEP option.
Pistol Ricky = double back off the Flare Screen back toward the ball.
Ricky = reverse
song?
Dallas used to run this play a lot back in 14', Dirk and Ellis...
0:40 #33 Corey Brewer 🤣🤦🏿♂️
Damm Daniel
great video!
Damn coach do the 76ers and okafor
Wish my Lakers had drafted Jahlil Okafor. 😞😞😞
Could be playing next to Anthony Davis.
@@deandrepage1048 okafor is cheeks bruh. Glad we didn't draft him.
