Last month we looked at Michigan State University and Tom Izzo. This month let's take a look at their big rival, the University of Michigan and John Beilein.

Michigan Man Offense

If you are one of the many who have looked at the Dribble Motion Offense, here are some good backdoor "calls" from the offense. I use this offense about 40 to 50% of the time in the game and have had good success with these backdoor sets after showing them the regular offense and rotations first.

I think after we run this offense long enough, the backdoor sets you see can and should be run on defense "reads" alone, but I think that is a lot to ask of a team running this offense for the first time.
