Film Room is an X’s and O’s breakdown of Michigan basketball. Gibson Pyper diagrams Michigan’s offensive and defensive sets and provides and in-depth schematic look at Michigan’s opponents. Pyper has spent years diagramming college and NBA offenses and takes you inside the nuance of the game with his videos and diagrams each week.
Michigan has been below average offensively in transition this year and is on pace to have its worst transition offense in the last eight years.
One of the most concerning elements of that poor transition attack is that the Wolverines have an elite defense and have been unable to convert their stops into easy baskets. With a half-court offense that can be inconsistent, an effective transition offense could fix a lot of the problems facing this group.
What isn’t working in Michigan’s transition attack? We dig into the film to look for issues.
