From his video that he has "How to run a simplified set offense"
He begins with an on-court, step-by-step demonstration of his 2-2-1 defense, which features three simple components-no middle, no lay-ups, good defense. Teaching and practicing these key concepts eliminates game-day guesswork and over-thinking.
Coach Pikiell moves quickly to his out-of-bounds series with simple rules like getting the ball in safely and scoring a pre-determined number of points. By implementing these limited, easy-to-follow strategies, his teams have dramatically reduced the number of points given away on turnovers. He also demonstrates several out-of-bounds plays from his "winner's series."
Switching his attention to the secondary offense, Pikiell emphasizes the importance of key ideas like spacing, ball reversal, post touches and shot selection. He also gives a specialty zone offense that puts players in constant motion and keeps the knockout player just one pass from the ball.
As someone who looks to coach HS in the future, I think I will be learning a lot from Pikiell. Defense should not be that complicated.Basketball should not be over complicated.
