Coach ,



This week I am focused on developing some ideas for future ATO plays for my teams.  

As you know ATO's are special plays and actions teams run after time-outs or can also be run in a dead-ball situation. 

Typically, the plays are designed to get a specific player an open shot or it’s a counter to a play being ran based on how the defense has been guarding the action or based on a scouting report..

Here are a few ATOs that I like.

Coach Luka Bassin breaks down a play from Euroleague powerhouse Fenerbahce in this clip being run from a sideline situation for a 3.
