Kelvin Sampson (8)

Offensive Spacing Basketball & Relocation University of Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson helps you open up the floor and get better on offense through focusing on spacing and relocation. Coach Sampson has had a long and successful career at programs such as Oklahoma, Indiana, and Washington State prior to earning the 2018 American Athletic Conference Coach of the Year award in 2018 at Houston. In this video, he presents to you not only his ideas about spacing and offense, but also some of his thoughts about coaching in general. Sampson talks about his “Five C’s of Coaching” – Competency, Consistency, Confidence, Competitive, and Confrontation – and why they are important in coaching. He also discusses practice, assistant coach roles, staff meetings, how to become a better coach, how to incorporate things learned from other coaches, and the importance of preparation. Sampson believes in playing hard and competing, but at the end of the day reminds you that “shooting is not an equal opportunity employer.” Offensive Spacing Basketball Coach Sampson gets right into the concept of spacing by discussing the most common mistakes coaches make in a free-flowing offense. Sampson points out the three things necessary to a successful spacing offense: A point guard that can play out of the pick & roll A sprinter (big man) that can set the screen A stretch-4 that can make a 3-pointer You will see how to incorporate a ball screen into the offense as well as the importance of the roll man. Coach Sampson shows how post players must sprint to ball screens and how the “hit & go,” popular in the NBA, is run. The next phase in the offense is relocation, which helps maintain spacing in the offense. Guards, you will see, must have the freedom to read defenses and make plays. Warm Up Drills for Basketball Two drills that use the ideas of the spacing offense are presented. They can be used as warm up drills, but they help teach some of the basic concepts needed in the offense. One drill works on catching the ball on the move. Slower athletes learn to attack the middle with the “beat them off the catch” concept. The second drill is the Three-Man Fast Break which works on getting the ball out of the net quickly and getting the ball up the floor. Sets and Actions Finally, Coach Sampson offers some of his offensive sets, including one action out of the pick and roll that is sure to get your players a good look at an open scoring opportunity. Sampson also presents one baseline out of bounds play that flows right into the pick and roll action. This 75-minute video can help you no matter what offense you run.

Running a High-Powered Offense: Spacing, Sets & Inbound Plays Kelvin Sampson has turned the Houston Cougars into a national power largely because of the proficiency of his offenses. In this video, captured at a Houston practice, Sampson shows you how prioritizing spacing helps to increase ball movement and helps break down defenses. He also shares multiple baseline and sideline inbounds plays. Offensive Approach Coach Sampson introduces his base offense first before hitting the court. You’ll see how he spaces the floor with four perimeter players and then how he uses concepts like ghost screens and scrapes to create movement and open up defenses. Next is a series of plays right out of the Cougars playbook. Sampson draws up the Loop series and then demonstrates it on the court. It begins with a 1-4 high set and creates easy backdoors for layups. You also see an additional set from a 1-4 high alignment as well as two options out of Floppy action. Chicago creates an open jumper for a post player while Detroit creates a difficult ball screen situation to defend off of Floppy. Inbounds Plays Sampson gives you a number of great inbounds plays. The first set of plays are baseline inbound sets. They include: 21 – A box set screen-the-screener action to get an open jumper and a post-up. 51 – 3 seconds or less for a quick shot on the weak side with a player rolling to the hoop. Quick – Play that yields a cross screen post-up, a shot at the top of the key, and a pick and roll option to follow. 52 – Get a quick high-low to a post player off of a tight back screen. Thumb Down – Use an elevator screen for a 3-pointer. Thumb Down Counter – A rip screen counter. Slice Weak – A misdirection play for a quick pin down jumper run from a box set. The next set of plays is for sideline inbounds. They include: Slice Weak – It’s the same concept as the baseline Slice Weak run from a zipper screen. Quick – Same as the baseline play except now from the sideline. Loop 2 – A pick and roll play with an empty corner.
