NCAA Tournament 2000 - LSU playbook: Swift 16

LSU playbook: Swift 16
From Coach's Edge

After a six-year absence from the tournament, the Tigers have now reached the Sweet 16 -- something Shaquille O'Neal and Co. couldn't accomplish.

This year's LSU team has its own star in Stromile Swift. Tigers coach John Brady, realizes that as Swift goes so goes the Tiger attack. Brady will spread the court, allowing plenty of room for Swift action. If Torris Bright and Jabari Smith are on top of their game, the Tigers could be going further than just the Sweet 16.

ANIMATE THIS PLAY DIAGRAM WITH SHOCKWAVE
(A) The Tigers like to spread the court to utilize their one-on-one abilities. Torris Bright (3) starts the action by hitting Jabari Smith (52) up top.
(B) Stromile Swift (4) is given the room to work on the low blocks.

(C) Smith (52) finds the talented Brian Beshara (2) coming off the Bright (3) screen. Beshara, an adept passing forward, immediately looks for Swift (4).
(D) With plenty of room to operate, Swift receives the ball in the paint where few can stop him.
