⛹🏽TSF 120: Xavi Pascual’s Return to Barca


What’s up, internet basketball junkie?

The EuroLeague Tactics Lifetime Subscription just received its 13th feature - and it’s a good one.

We’ve added a full Xavi Pascual “Return to Barca” Video Playbook, breaking down the tactical details behind his system, along with a separate film session where I sit down with Coach Kostas Kalogeropoulos to watch portions of the playbook and talk through what makes EuroLeague basketball different.

This is the 13th feature added to the library.

Features 1–10 launched the product.
Features 11 and 12 added the "Best of EuroLeague Horns Sets" and "EuroBasket Top Set Plays."
And now this.

Because of the expansion, the price increases Wednesday evening.

If you’ve been circling it, this is your window.

SG - 📺 Attacking Merrimack's Tandem 2-3 Zone is like assembling IKEA furniture without instructions. You think you know what you're doing. Then nothing fits. You're forcing pieces. Everyone's confused.

SF - 🐥 I stumbled into a Lakers beat writer that's creating excellent breakdowns of their schemes.... good stuff for coaches:

The vision with EuroLeague Tactics Lifetime Subscription was never “one download.”

It’s a living, expanding tactical vault - and it keeps growing.

Thirteen features deep now.
More to come.
And every addition pushes the value further away from the original launch price.

Tuesday morning, you still have access at the current rate.
Wednesday evening, that changes.

If you want lifetime access before the hike, now’s the time.

PS. All of the typos in this newsletter are 100% intentional to hold your attention 😃

What’s up, internet basketball junkie? Valencia finished 2nd in the EuroLeague regular season after being projected to finish 16th… and they did it without a superstar. They did it through their SYSTEM OF PLAY. Their offense led the league in scoring, built on pace, ball screens, and a design where everything connects - spacing, decisions, and relentless pressure. It’s one of the most complete team-driven systems in basketball right now. I just added a full Valencia film study (including a...

What’s up, internet basketball junkie? At least a dozen coaches have asked me for the document from this YouTube video on the Flexible 1-2-2 Defense: If you want it too, you can access it here for free: The_Red_Defense_Playbook.pdf The above video is an excerpt from the full stream with Coach Marty Dello (90+ minutes in length that includes game film) And for the an even deeper dive into the 1-2-2 3/4 court press and learning all the details of running it, check out the guide to the Jay...

What’s up, internet basketball junkie? I just added something new to the 1-3-1 Multiple Defense System - and it fits the identity of the product perfectly. The 1-3-1 system is built around one idea: breaking offensive rhythm with multiple looks out of the same structure. This new addition is exactly that. In a 22+ minute video, I broke down the Morphing “Lanes” 1-3-1 Zone Defense used by Fred Hoiberg at Nebraska - a change-of-pace defense that doesn’t pressure the ball… it takes away the next...
