Coach Dan D’Antoni brings a player-focused perspective to this excellent video. He shows coaches how to take a more conceptual approach to installing an offense that focuses on teaching players how to "play the game" versus learning and running rigid set plays.

Coach D’Antoni takes you through the installation of a fast-paced, flow offense which puts an emphasis on spacing, decision-making (this is a key aspect!) and mastering pick-and-roll fundamentals. D’Antoni gives a thorough look at his coaching style he refers to as "organized chaos," and demonstrates a variety of ways coaches can create movement and unpredictability in their team's offense.

This video includes segments and drills focused on improving offensive execution by coaching:

• Techniques and strategies to increase game tempo off of rebounds and made shots
• Effective areas of the floor to execute the pick-and-roll and the importance of screening angles
• Making your offense hard to scout by coaching player decision-making and spacing options
