Coaching Style
Beilein is known for his offensive system, which emphasizes constant motion, passing, back-door cuts, disciplined teamwork, and precision shooting. The offense usually starts out with four players outside the three-point arc, and one player at the top of the key (though at times a post player may operate closer to the basket). From this formation, Beilein's teams not only try to open up space for players to cut to the basket, but also are known for their high number of three-point attempts. On defense, Beilen has become known for employing the 1–3–1 halfcourt zone defense, which is considered to be an unconventional zone defense - though he also regularly employs man-to-man and 2-3 zone defenses.

“To me style is just the outside of content, and content the inside of style, like the outside and the inside of the human body—both go together, they can’t be separated.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
