Coach ,

Coach Ryan Odom has VCU scoring at a high clip and off to a solid start. 

Here are 4 sets from Ryan Odom’s top 50 ranked offense (according to Kenpom) he shared that could hopefully help this season. 

#1 - Blur

Blur is a double-gap play to get a guard downhill.

It is a simple set that is very effective for teams that have good driver/iso players.

The play puts the defensive in a tough situation by placing a shooter in the corner on the drive.

#2 - Euro 2

Coach Odom borrowed this play from the Slovenian National Team.

If you love split action, this is a good set to add to your playbook.

The play is designed to space the floor and get into a spread ball screen. 

The play works best if there are good shooters on the floor.

#3 - Clip 

Clip is a set that is used if you have a good shooting 4-man. 

The play happens fast because the 4 sprints up and ghost screens the ball screen.

The hope is to get the defense to mess up the switch leaving the 4-man open for a 3-point opportunity.. 

This is also very good to use in the late clock or late in the  game.

#4 - Catfish 

Catfish is an iso set to pick on a poor defender.

It is used to lift the floor to get the corner man into a 1-on-1 position off a quick swing pass.

This is a clever counter to a 1-5 ball screen. 

If you have a good iso player then this will give the player a lot of open space to make a play.

Coach Odom's offense uses deception, misdirection and iso situations to attack defenses. 

Utah State is doing a great job of playing to their players strengths on offense. 

Never get out-coached,
