NCAA Tournament 2000 - Tennessee playbook: Top Tenn

Tennessee playbook: Top Tenn
From Coach's Edge

"Good 'Ol Rocky Top." That's what they're singing in Knoxville these days, and it's not about the football team. Coach Jerry Green and his Volunteers are legitimately one of the top 10 teams in the nation, and they've been tough to beat this season.

The Vols have a lot of pure shooters, and everyone on the floor can score. The Vols are the best 3-point shooting team in the SEC, and when they get hot, they're tough to contain.

(A) John Higgins (42) dribbles off a high screen from C.J. Black to initiate the offense.
(B) While Higgins is getting a high screen, Isiah Victor (44) runs off a low screen from Vincent Yarbrough (22) and gets the pass on the baseline.

(C) Victor (44) takes the ball hard to the rack, but if he doesn't have a clear path, he kicks it out to Yarbrough (22) on the wing.
(D) As is often the case, the screener is the most dangerous player on the floor, and Yarbrough makes the defense pay.
