Did you guys see the answer Kirk Cousins gave about how the quarterback position has changed, and how reads have changed? I mean, it's very similar. That's kind of where basketball is as well."
""There are obviously game plans and details that you have to develop, but over the course of the game, defenses, offenses, spacing, coverages - things are changing so much that you have to be able to adjust on the fly," he continued. "I think that it's the pre-snap stuff and the ability to recognize whether they're disguising man or zone [coverage] and how you go about making the defense tell that, so you know beforehand, and then having to"
An NFL offensive coordinator provided pre-snap motion concepts to an NBA team to help visualize offensive sets and counter sophisticated defensive disguises. Quarterback read progressions and evolving defensive coverages parallel basketball spacing and coverage adjustments. Game plans require preparation, but real-time changes in defenses, offenses, spacing, and coverages force ongoing in-game adaptations. The focus on pre-snap recognition aims to force defenses to reveal man or zone coverages before the play. Translating these pre-snap diagnostic techniques enhances offensive decision-making and the ability to adjust sets and spacing during live play.
