The framework as a puzzle
Put the pieces together
Four pieces make one picture: when (period), who (layer), what you solve (problem) and how you coach (mode). Pick them and see what fits.

4 How you coach it
Pick a period and a layer to see what the puzzle is about. We solve “advantage”.
Pieces that fit
Short-handed: 4-on-3
Create, notice and punish advantage; delay and recover when outnumberedFull-court 3-on-3: take the nearest player
Continuous play, switching, running back, creating and recognising advantageRebound, outlet, running lanes
A safe first pass, wide running lanes, passing aheadContinuous 3-on-2 → 2-on-1
Recognising and using advantage, the 2-on-1 rule, delaying when outnumberedChase race: sprint back and stop the ball
Running back until you are in front of the ball, chest first, legal contactTouchdown game
Running lanes, finding space without the ball, running ahead of the ball, catching on the run, switching at once
