On his first day as the Los Angeles Lakers’ new head coach, Darvin Ham didn’t shy away from opening up about the changes he wants to see his new team implement. The first-time head coach said that his goal is to not only bring back the Lakers’ defensive identity and transition offense from two years ago, but also deploy a motion 4-out 1-in system that the team will abide by next season.
The 4-out 1-in system is pretty self-explanatory — one player positions himself inside the paint (most of the time in the dunker spot) while the other four move around the perimeter.
