"If
the Princeton is Japanese, where the wheel is Chinese, the 2-Guard
Vietnamese and the Triangle might be Korean. They may not be the same
languages, but there are similar phonics there." --John Beilein, Michigan--
With
the recent success of the Michigan basketball program there has been
much written about the next great offense: The Michigan 2 Guard
Offense. This system which is currently being utilized by John Beilein
(Michigan) and his former assistant Jeff Neubauer (Eastern Kentucky), is
becoming the most sought after system in the coaching community today.
However,
both are very apprehensive about sharing their concepts with fellow
coaches. Their system is a mixture of the Princeton, Wheel, and triangle
all rolled into one. Although Beilein himself disagrees with this
assessment, his take is "If the Princeton is Japanese, where the wheel
is Chinese, the 2-Guard Vietnamese and the Triangle might be Korean.
They may not be the same languages, but there are similar phonics
there." What I have done is given you the best interpretation of this
unique offense and some of the sets we have used at the high school
level that have been successful for us. This is definitely a perimeter
dominated offense based on your ability to shoot the three point shot
and take what the defense gives you. It is a true read and react type
offense where every pass has at several different counters or options
depending on how the defense defends your cuts. If you think this might
be a risky system, you might want to look at the success both of these
programs are having on the offensive end of the floor.
