This video is presented by Coach Nick at BballBreakdown.

He has over 4500 other videos available on the BballBreakdown You Tube channel.

I have been asked about this basic pick and roll continuity offense a few times.

I am not implying that it is the only thing that Gonzaga runs. I am not implying that it is the reason that they are in the final game of the tournament.

I am offering it so that maybe you can find a piece or an idea from it that you might be able to apply to your offense.

This is a You Tube video, so please make sure that your sound is on.

You will need to be on a network that allows you to access You Tube to view the video.

If 3 is open for a layup or post up, 2 will make that feed.
