Seems pretty effective and has multiple variations that can be used leading into the set. Interesting stuff.

agree 100Larry Bird was maybe the best ever at this.
Once Bird got that ass planted into a defender on a wing, the defender knew shit wasn’t gonna end well for him. The result might be that patented turnaround fall away jumper, or maybe a quick pass to a cutting teammate, or maybe a spin move and drive, who knows …but Bird always seemed to make the right decision when he got a defender in that position.
When you make your money off posting basketball content … and you’ve run clean out of new content … what else is there to do but try to con people into thinking old shit is new again.So posting up and backing down…..
Time is a flat circle. Are they really acting like this is new?
I don't see this generation having any interest in the granny ft shot.Wait till this generation of Bigs find about the lethal combo of the hook shot and the granny FT shot.
He was about to get mentioned lol.Charles Barkley’s entire career.
The NBA created the 5 sec backdown rule bc Barkley was so effective at it.Larry Bird was maybe the best ever at this.

That guy makes, for my money, the best freely available college basketball content on Youtube. Including the BYU video that every UK fan turned to the second Pope was hired (I think that video had a real, measurable effect in generating positivity around the Pope hire after the initial negative reaction many of us had). Why drag the guy? I wish there were more content creators like him.When you make your money off posting basketball content … and you’ve run clean out of new content … what else is there to do but try to con people into thinking old shit is new again.
Maybe he has had some good videos in the past ...and those may deserve praise ...but he deserves to be ridiculed for this one if he's acting like this is some sort of new style of play. As does the OP for laughably giving this thread the title "New Offensive Style."That guy makes, for my money, the best freely available college basketball content on Youtube.

When you picture a post-up, who has the ball? Probably a big man. This video is about a recent trend of team's posting their guards, including Nova's historically efficient, title-winning offense in 2018. If this relatively uncommon strategy was the key to a title, and the strategy is becoming more common, it seems worthy of further discussion and analysis to me. 🤷♂️Maybe he has had some good videos in the past ...and those may deserve praise ...but he deserves to be ridiculed for this one if he's acting like this is some sort of new style of play.

Dudes backing defenders down ass first has been around forever. There's nothing new about it. And it ain't done any more often now than in the past. The only thing that is relatively new is calling it "booty ball." That is kinda clever. But a new name for it doesn't mean a new anything else.
Go watch some film of 80s and 90s big point guards like Magic Johnson, Mark Jackson and Jason Kidd. Or even further back with guys like Oscar Robertson. They were ALL booty ball masters.When you picture a post-up, who has the ball? Probably a big man.

I don't really get the whole negative reaction thing. Nobody that I knew (UK fan or not) was saying "OMG Pope was a bad hire". Not one of them. Pretty much the reaction "Thank God Calipari is away from the program, they needed a new direction".That guy makes, for my money, the best freely available college basketball content on Youtube.

I was online, you must not have read my comment. Let me rephrase. Nobody that I know, IRL, was expressing regret, anger, sadness, any of that about Pope. That's why so many people showed up to Mark's press conference. People here tend to think we represent the pulse of BBN. We don't. There may be more knowledge about players in general, but certainly not the history.You must have been offline that Thursday night
There were a lot of disappointed people(including me) and a few who were downright angry. I think he has just about won everybody over by now.I was online, you must not have read my comment.
