Mastering Offensive Strategies in Basketball

Episode Summary:
This week on the Slappin' Glass Podcast, we're honored to sit down with renowned Anadolu Efes and Latvia National Team Head Coach, Luca Banchi, for a masterclass in offensive flow, decision-making, and building modern basketball habits.

Coach Banchi shares his philosophy on:

• Teaching continuity and “broken set” offense in the modern game.
• Layering triggers, spacing rules, and “side-to-side” flow.
• Installing national team identity in short prep windows.
• Defining “new fundamentals” like decision-making and autonomy.
• Using target sets and spacing-makers to punish defensive vulnerabilities.
• Coaching constraints at the EuroLeague level and maximizing 5-on-5 practice efficiency.
• Defending the Spain Pick-and-Roll with clarity and communication.

Plus, we dive into the always-insightful “Start, Sub, or Sit” segment to discuss the underrated coaching traits of timing, clarity, and listening.

A must-listen for coaches at every level who value precision, flow, and evolving with the game.
