If you’re at all familiar with the Virginia Cavaliers’ men’s basketball team’s offensive schemes, you know that the traditional mover-blocker (or sides) offense that Dick and Tony Bennett have popularized is Virginia’s go-to look. While caveats and counters have been added to the offense over time with more ball-screens incorporated particularly since the National Championship season, the set is fairly simplistic with the continuous pin down and flare screens for curling guards characterizing it.
But, another look that UVA has used during Bennett’s rein — to a lesser extent — is the triangle or “three-man” offensive look with three players screening for and cutting around each other in the middle of the half-court set and two players on the perimeter as ball handlers, playmakers, and floor spacers.
