There are a lot of different factors that go into the outcome of a basketball game. Points, rebounds, defensive stops, etc. However, the most important thing that isn’t considered in the public eye is the execution of the scheme. There are so many actions and play designs in basketball that don’t get discussed, but one of the most important ones, in my opinion, are ATOs, a.k.a. after time outs.
After timeouts can be the difference between a Loss or a win within one simple play. So for today’s blog, I will discuss why I think After time out play designs are crucial.
There are two different kinds of ATOs, in my opinion; you have something you draw up into a set, or it can be a play from the inbound play. Right here is some play designs ATO from this past NBA Summer league that I really enjoyed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlNzKgwngpY.
ATOs aren’t just on the players, however, to execute. You need your coaching staff to draw up plays that will actually work and get people in scoring positions. There are instances where some teams just aren’t good because the coach lacks the ability to draw up a good play design, then there are instances where coaches can create incredible play designs that help a lack of players’ talent to perform it.
Overall, I think this is a very crucial part of the game of basketball that isn’t discussed enough about the outcome of wins and losses.
