This... This is what all the other comments are missing. Most teams are looking for the the absolutely most talented players they can recruit... the biggest, the quickest, the best shooters and rebounders. Obviously the majors are going to attract the best talent, and they can afford play traditional basketball using their extreme (and deep) talent pool. The smaller schools have to find a way to be different if they want to win consistently. My first two years of college basketball was with a JUCO with all white guys. As you can imagine, the vast majority were slow. Our superpower was shooting, but how do you ever get a shot off when your defenders are so much quicker? Screen, after screen, after screen. That was how we played. Probably not as intensely or as disciplined as Bellarmine, but we made it work with a bunch of unathletic, slow, shooters. It worked for us, too. We went 25-7 on the season and 13-1 at home. We either pounded them inside with our bigs or punished them with excessive 3-point shooting. But multiple screens are where it all started.

Its litterally like white kids never learned how to dribble, but they all own hoops. If they had half the team swinging and the other half screening and cutting they would be a menacing team, because they lack ego, and hold awareness.

Riley Wallace, coach of Univ of Hawai'i 1987-2007, ran this style of play. It was fun to watch and allowed our under-recruited players to compete night in and night out. More easy baskets as most are at the rim.

These videos always rekindle my love for the game. Great video!

This is such a fun style to watch and play. When I was a kid, my father, a great college basketball player from the 50s, would have us practice moving the ball without dribbling.

In my 25 yeaars of coaching, I have always practiced my offense without dribbling. If the ball hit the floor, it was a turnover. Forced my players to learn how to cut, move, screen and never stand still. Also forced us defensively to play harder, stay with guys, not get back-doored and able to withstand long defensive possessions. Works like a charm, especially if you have shooters and finishers. All these players now want to dribble the life out of the ball, and they don't need to.

Alright already, Not a hoopshead, but 3 videos in, great quality clear commentary and spot on analysis. You've got a sub and some shares

I’m from Louisville, KY. I went to Bellarmine college for training camp back in HS & this is in fact what they do. This is practically what they teach you during drills as well, as a HS player.

The editing and graphics on this video make this system so clear that I'm easily understanding the Xs & Os like I never have before. You did an amazing job with this video and I can't wait to watch more. And wow is Bellarmine fun to watch!

Awesome basketball. Nice on the eyes to watch also. Its like hearing Mozart but seeing an orchestration play out through bball. Love this style!

Man, what a well-produced video, i really enjoy this.

As an European who's been watching other sports and never really watched basketball before last year, i always found it weird how little passes there are. But this looks a lot like how you play handball, pass around the perimeter until there is a crack in the wall and attack it. Pretty dope looking

This is how we taught to play basketball in Europe in the early/mid 2000s. Constant rotation and screens + 1 dribble layups/shots, very little driving.

@@j0kersmoker i know drills like this system, but also the game at least in germany was different to this in the early and mid '2000s' on the amateur level i know and especially on the pro level. I would have say it was a lot more pick and roll/pop + and i different to today postup but not from the guards like here. i guess mids 00 rattelsdorf, crailsheim and göttingen made noises implementing the guard terror scheme which also plays with very small lineups but a totally different offensiv approach (very fast shots) and lots of press defence ... Not so common, but very new and good results for the 'money'. Göttingen even made it to the bbl and etablished then there.

in Europe players are able to stand in 3 second box as much as they want, so many of those cuts would be close with zone defence, so this won't be that easy in Europe to do this

We played against a team that played like this. That was the MOST tired that I had ever been with time still left on the clock.. Everyone's energy was on -10% and we still had 4 minutes left to play in the game.

The tracked overlays on this were amazing and well worth the effort

This totally reminds me Rick Torbett’s read and react system with all the pass and cuts,along with effective screens. Love it!

This is absolutely fascinating. I might have to try and watch them some this season

I'm literally in awe!!

This system requires amazing conditioning, because you have to be always moving, since the ball handler can't make his own play

This is dope! My cousin played for them for 4 years, he loved playing for Coach Davenport! He ended up leading Division II (They were D2 at the time) in scoring once or twice and was a two time All American. Scotty definitely utilized Rusty’s shooting ability and willingness to move without the ball as good as any coach could’ve. He lit up Indiana and Louisville a couple of times.

Super DOPE breakdown. One that you allowed me to understand. I saw everything! I'm going to congratulate Coach Chris Oliver personally.❤

I looked it up and noticed that no one even has more than 4 assists per game this season. Everyone gets touches to be able to pass the ball. Truly the definition of Spurs basketball. I couldn’t even how mind numbing going against a offense like this especially with how much IQ those players have. Boring style of play, sure, but effective, hell yeah

An offense that has lots of passes, ball and player movement than dribbles, the least amount of ball screens, and also a read and react offense. Imagine Steve Kerr watching this video.

Great video, thanks. I watched Murray State beat Bellarmine by almost 20 early this season. (it was close at half time). I immediately noticed Bellarmine's unique style of offense. I also noticed they struggle a bit on defense and they turn the ball over. A LOT. To be fair, Murray St is having a great year and are tops in their conference, so that played a part.

Yeah, I’m not surprised at the turnovers. All that passing increases the chances that one would be loose.

So fun to watch. Doug Moe's Denver Nuggets used to run a passing game like this. They were my favorite team to watch back in the day. Never won a ring, but always solid competitive competit

As a Louisville fan i know Bellarmine very well. I aslo think you should look at another small team from Kentucky, the Eastern Kentucky Colonles. They are one of the best offenses in the country. One of the fastest tempos and paces in the country. As well as a great defense that press the whole 40 minutes.

What's even better, how Louisville is the 4th-5th best team in the state

Absolutely beautiful. Phrase we use often is "the dribble doesn't change the view for the defense, the pass does." We're not to this extreme, but this is our goal.

Goes to show everything always go back to the fundamentals. I was fortunate enough to attend Hoosier Basketball Camp at Bledsoe's Beach IN back in tthe early 80's. We had all the Big 10 coaches, players and even refs come to teach us. People like Jud Heathcoat, Johnny Orr, and, many more. The bottom line was cutting and passing were stressed back then way more than shooting and dribbling. Very awesome video, I'm a new sub.

Man I love your videos. You are putting so mucho work into this.... and the explanation is pretty clear! Maybe adding some "drawings" to explain could be even more effective.

This coach is a Legend . Efficiency unheard of. Hands down. 💯

That is definitely a great way to create solid team adhesion. I like how they took something so fundamental and refined it. Great video!

Great breakdown of their offense. Props to this team for their discipline and teamwork. It's refreshing to see a team move the ball without having to put it on the floor. So many players today want to show off and break ankles but they actually slow the offense down with all the dribbling. This reminds me of Klay Thompson scoring 60 points with only 11 dribbles.

it makes perfect sense too. I am a Texas Tech fan who is well known for having an amazing Defense as they originated the "no middle" d. One thing I have always noticed is when a team gets into a passing rhythm they can manipulate the fast pace movement of the Tech defense then boom someone is open for a wide open 3. However, running a normal offense that utilizes screens and dribbling is rarely effective unless there is a mistake by the d or some truly amazing skill from the opposing player.

When you move the ball you move the defense. This is simple yet profound. This guy is a true savant.

As a player (I wasn’t a great scorer, but I was always on the court due to my commitment to defense) I can say that I had a much more difficult time w/ unselfish teams. Passing makes playing defense exhausting! I’ll admit, in moments I’d lose my discipline and cheat. Great passing breaks a defense down physically, yes... but over time-mentally. I was more athletic than most guards I’d cover, but if they passed well as a team, I could be neutralized. I LOVED it when players dribbled... that’s when I could direct them where I wanted them to go and sneak a couple steals.

To be honest, how they work to get the open passes it is also exhausting for the offense ... One thing i like to check out after the video is, if they utilise there bench more then the opponents. n germany there where a few small ball teams, with lots of press defence which did quite well for some time (and they had to use there bench more then the normal team through this tactical approach)

@@christiang5209 So true. With so many cuts and movement off the ball, you exhaust yourself on offense. Whereas with isolation or pick&roll, only 1 or 2 players are spending energy on the offense while the others can rest a bit.

This would be a fun system to play in. Everyone is involved and their combined high IQ play is what gives the team success. Its such a contrast to the modern basketball style of 1 player with the ball and 3 guys stand there waiting for a pass. Here everyone is the assist man and the scorer. Any play could be your chance to help out. Thats just beautiful basketball.

Beautiful man. Art in motion.

Beautifully simple and effective!!!

I love this! We tried this my junior year of high school the final year before our coach had to retire with health issues. I think we called it Flex? It was constant movement and cutting, but the amount of times the lane or baseline ended up wide open from drawing the defense out was so satisfying.

They are playing fundamentally advance basketball a lot of teams just rely on a few players but this team gets every player involved amazing vision team

Love this play style, it’s so satisfying to watch

I like this style of play basketball, i really enjoy what how they move as just one organism

I loved your collaboration with Ben Taylor (Thinking Basketball)! Love your style of analysis and hope you grow!

Pure and efficient form of basketball. It's also a great style to teach young players to help them learn how to read the defense and their teammates. Bellarmine makes this look simple, but it's more complicated than it looks. Great job to this coach!

Good shit 🔥🔥🔥🤙🏽

Unique offensive approach, very clearly presented and analyzed.

Amazing video, I haven’t coached in 3 years but this got the juices flowing. Lol

This is my Alma Mater. The DII championship was incredible to experience as a student of a small school. Lucky to be there during that time. Scott Davenport is an amazing person and an incredible coach

I love what He’s doing with that system that’s so different who would’ve knew..I will be using this when I start coaching..dope Video I’ll be looking forward to more unknown Gems!!

Great video and breakdown..

This is just about identical to "The Wheel" my high school ran. Never thought of how little we dribbled in the half court until now... Crazy hard to defend even when you know what's coming. We played against "The Wheel" my senior year (after a coaching change we switched offenses and were nowhere near as good) and still lost... :( When I coached high school we installed "The Wheel" and basked in all it's glory as we raked in the W's!

This is ultimate frisbee! Know your space, create space for others, cut towards the handler to get a safe pass, get behind them if they're in pressure to dump.

I remember living in Kentucky between 2011-2013 when Kentucky, Louisville, Bellarmine, Georgetown College, and Pikeville all won college basketball national championships. Helluva basketball state. Not to mention, Murray St and Western Kentucky won multiple conference championships and made the NCAA tourney, too. I Eastern Kentucky won conference title and made the tourney in there, too.

This is how basketball was designed to be. I love it. Thank you for the video.
