Get the ball out & up the floor before the defense is set
Look to attack & draw fouls
1st look is transition, then play after transition & then another play
Move yourself & move the ball

Have plays with versatility… Different plays from the initial set

Sean Miller on Defensive Checks

5 stats that Miller feels are good indicators of the defense
1. Opponent Field Goal Percentage
2. Opponent 3 Point Field Goal Percentage (just as important: how many have they
taken? Are they attempting a lot because we’re not pressuring the ball enough?)
3. Fouls (fouling negates a lot of good things we do defensively)
4. Turnovers (we don’t want them to be able to pass, pass, pass. We will create some
turnovers, but that is not the objective of the defense.
5. Defensive Rebounding Percentage (be weary of the Total Rebounds stat—can be very
misleading. What percentage of missed shots are they rebounding?)
