Northwest Nazarene – Offensive Breakdown

Coach John Hawkins has the Nighthawks frequently running the Zoom Action. This includes a down screen into a dribble hand off, giving the ball handler the opportunity to gain a head of steam to turn the corner and attack or play more meticulously out of the pick and roll. This also leads to opportunities out of the shake up.

NNU ended the half in a popular action Brad Stevens used to run against the switch. It works here as well.

The Nighthawks went to the flare to double stagger a few times throughout this particular game for an open look.

Here’s a great misdirection baseline out of bounds play for an easy dunk at the rim.
