Film Room: Breaking down Michigan’s favorite sets in early-season play

Film Room is an X’s and O’s breakdown of Michigan basketball by Gibson Pyper. Pyper has diagrammed almost every offense in college and professional basketball at The Basketball Playbook and is an expert on the X’s and O’s of the game. If you want to learn more about the concepts that Pyper breaks down, make sure to check out his new project, Learn Basketball, an interactive course about basketball strategy, film study and X’s and O’s. 

Today’s Film Room looks at how Michigan’s offense in the early season. Pyper breaks down what sets Michigan is emphasizing, where the Wolverines can improve and how they are performing in special situations like baseline out of bounds and after timeout actions.

Pyper looks at Michigan’s emphasis on “shallow” actions and how its freshmen need to improve within the offense to maximize spacing and decision making.
