Boisvert has a lot of great material on YouTube. If you're looking for other sets and strategies, HalfCourtHoops is another great YouTube channel.

This is an example of the complexity of Marshall's system. Everything starts with the same pass to a wing and handoff back to the PG, and the cut to the basket.

Everything that happens next depends on how the defense reacts. EVERYBODY on the floor has to interpret the defensive strategy and adjust to the proper variation of the play. It's not terribly surprising that sometimes the play doesn't work.

This is about at the level of NFL quarterbacks and receivers reading defenses and adjusting routes based on what they see.

Decades ago I read somewhere that Auerbach's teams had eight basic sets with twenty to thirty option off of each.
