BOB - Whitworth

The number 1 team in the nation at all college levels at baseline out-of-bounds efficiency was Whitworth per Synergy. Sometimes when you pull up the numbers - especially for baseline out of bounds - the film doesn’t correlate with efficency numbers as far as “direct” scoring chances on the inbound.

I was pleasantly surprised when I started looking at Whitworth film and really loved what they ran, but especially the core action - Double. It’s not even disguised or tweaked to start, it is simply a double screen on the ballside but with great spacing around the elbow and the second screen off the ballside block.

The options off this is to look for the shooter off the double screen, if the shooter curls or rejects then the first screener comes off looking for a shot, or if any of the screeners defenders jump or fall asleep then the slips open up.
