—Jeff Greer’s latest Floyd Street Tribune newsletter dives into who Ross McMains is and what his philosophy is.
First, let’s examine some of the primary offensive principles McMains has discussed and implemented. This is surely an incomplete list, but BasketballImmersion.com and this fascinating presentation via McMains’s hoops consulting company Efficient Sauce provide great insight into how he thinks. The above video, made by Basketball Immersion, also details the New Zealand national team’s offensive flow and prowess. It’s short — I highly recommend watching it.
McMains lists his three primary tenets of offense in the Basketball Immersion podcast: (1) The ball doesn’t stop — know what you’re doing before you get the ball and keep it moving; (2) one defender should never be able to guard two offensive players because of condensed spacing or lack of off-ball movement; and (3) get into space and out to space — attack gaps in the defense and immediately seek exit paths to new space when you no longer have the ball to allow the next teammate to attack the newly created space.
“Any offensive possession, as a coach, you’re trying to discern the best possible way every time your team gets the ball to gain an advantage,” McMains told the Basketball Immersion podcast. “An advantage meaning to put your team in a position of what I call ‘dominoes’ — the point of a closeout occurring, where whatever set play you call is off and now we’re just driving and kicking and spacing our way to turn a decent shot into a great shot.”
“A huge part of this is training your team,” McMains said, to reach the point where you not only create advantageous moments but also recognize them and attack them the right way. He uses this example of how things can go wrong: A defender scrambles on a long close out to a shooter, and there is now open space behind that defender. The new ballhandler can either confidently shoot over the charging defender or drive by him and create dominoes that lead to another good shot. But then one of the other offensive players runs into the space left by the scurrying defender, eliminating the advantage by bringing more bodies into that space. Advantage over.
