I'm a varsity head coach. I still coach. And I got tired of my best plays dying on napkins, whiteboards and my camera roll. So I built the thing I wanted on my own bench. Here's what it does.

Need a clean look against man to open a game?
Run UCLA Double.
3 cuts to the wing and catches. 5 steps up and sets the UCLA back screen for 1, who cuts hard to the block. If 1's man trails, that is your first bucket right there.
No pass? 5 flows straight into a wing ball screen for 3 while 1 comes back off a double from 2 and 4. When 4's man turns to chase 1, 4 slips to the rim.
Don't force the back screen. Let it flow into the ball screen and keep reading.
What is your go-to set to open a game?

Mike Klinzing asked how Ball Coach handles scouting. Short version: what the coach says outranks what the AI says. Every time. 🎧 Full Hoop Heads episode in the reply. @hoopheadspod

Your offense did not start this year.
It is three seasons of installs, tweaks, and the two sets that actually work in March. Every year you add a little and you lose a little to a legal pad that walked out the door with an assistant.
Keep the whole thing in one playbook and it carries. Next year's team inherits it. A new assistant opens it and sees everything you have ever run, in your terms, with your reads.
What you build should outlast one roster.

Hot take: you will lose more games in November to turnovers than to any game plan.
Early season everybody's timing is off. The team that throws it to the other team eight fewer times wins games it has no business winning.
Before you install one more set, drill catching, pivoting, and one entry your kids can run tired. Take care of the ball and you steal wins while everyone else is still finding themselves.
What is hurting you most right now, turnovers or defense?
