26 threes with INSIDE isolation??? Damn. Then how many threes do you shoot with OUTSIDE isolation? LOL

I have played a couple games with inside isolation and my team shot quite a few threes as well...but i have noticed its from a lot of passes coming from the inside. Your guys will get isolated down low and either make a move and take their shot or the will dish out to the guy outside for an open three. My team also gets its best ratings with that tactic as well.

As I understand the intent of an inside isolation offense, a lot of threes does not seem surprising. As smallfrie said, I'd expect the threes to come off of passes back out from the C/PF when he can't get his shot. Since he's the only player on the inside, the other four are spread out around the perimeter looking for long jumpers when their defenders crash inside to help out. Essentially the offense of the Olajuwon Rockets or the Howard Magic. The idea on these teams is to surround the dominant big man with good outside shooters, as either the big man will overpower his defender and get layups and close shots, or he'll pass it back out to the set-up shooters to kill the other team from long distance if the other defenders try to help out.

Thank you for sharing Manon and CrazyEye. I don't know what to make of the offense though. I initially thought that all those 3s might be from passes from the big men but in both those games the big guys hardly have an assist. At any rate this inside isolation looks like it has very little in common with low post (shouldn't they be similar?) - maybe its closer to the Princeton offence..

I think the reason your big men may not have many assists is because they will pass it out causing the defense to rotate(depending what kind of defense you are playing) and when they rotate your guys that are outside will then pass it to the guy that is open. That is why i think soon many people will be using inside isolation because it will put up the best numbers.

I still think that a good % of the time the 3 should come directly from an inside to out pass. Maybe its got to do with the passing skills of the big man. I still don't get if the same player is isolated each time or a different one and what criteria the actual iso depends on.

From what it seems like to me when i have played it is the sf gets most of the touches and the pf and c get about 18 shots give or take a few. I really do believe though the sf gets most touches becauae my sf isnt as good as my big guys but he always gets more shots.

No kidding!! You shot 26 3's with inside Isolation, and your opponent only had 2 more 3 point attempts with outside isolation! UGH!! I was planning to run Inside Isolation tonight, but last night chaged my mind, and this confirms that not only have I changed my mind preferring to stick with Look Inside, I may never try Inside Isolation in a real game.

Dwight Howard also hardly is getting any assists in Orlando. I would think the Offense is quite similar to the Magics, like mentioned before. I played Inside Iso tonight and my players took 26 3s. (2 OTs)
My primary SF alone attempted 11 3s. My C and PF (Best Players on my Team) took 26 shots combined while hitting only 12.

I wont play this tactic again soon, but i will test it out when i can get a good Shooting SF to play alongside my "dominant" Bigs.
Should work good against 2-3 Zones!
