Digital Playbook: Bengal

Roles and Teaching Points:

Perimeter Players (#1, #2, and #3):

• Perimeter players can set up anywhere around the three point line, with a focus on spotting up in the gaps

• Every time a perimeter player passes the ball, they should cut through the lane

• Perimeter players should look to attack the gaps via drives

• Perimeter players need to be a threat to knock down three point shots

• Perimeter players should also look to reversal the ball and pass to the short corner and Bengal spots

Short Corner Man (#4):

• #4 follows the ball as it's reversed side to side

• #4 works from short corner to short corner

• If he receives a pass, he should look for the Bengal who is diving to the rim

• #4 can close down and score if he receives a pass

• #4 should also look to pass diagonal to the weak side perimeter player if he has the ball

Bengal Man (#5):

• #5 is the point guard within the zone

• He should work anywhere in the high or mid post

• #5 can step out to the perimeter as well

• He needs to find open areas within the zone to exploit it

• If #5 receives a pass, he can shoot it, attack the rim, reverse the ball to the weak side perimeter, or hit the short corner for a lay-up

• If #4 receives a pass, #5 should dive to the rim for a score
