  • 2-1-2 Modified Flex
    2-1-2 Modified Flex Introduction The flex offense is utilized in all levels of basketball, and there have been many variations of this offense. The base cuts of the 2-1-2 Modified Flex is the “Flex Cut” and “UCLA” back screen. As with the other flex offenses, players need to be able to make reads on defensive overplays. Also, as a coach, you will have to decide if you want to “head hunt” the defense when you screen or screen an area and have your cutters rub the screen. Either way, the offensive cutter and the screener are going to have to work together in order to get open looks. If the cutter is not going to allow the screener to get set, you are going to run into some timing issues. Being that this is a continuity offense, all 5 players need to be able to play all the positions on the floor. Therefore, your post players are going to have to be able to play on the perimeter and your guards are going to have to be able to in the post. Allowing time for individual development is therefore vital to the success of this offense. In this offense, every time a player catches the ball, he needs to use the Rim Post Action philosophy. On the catch, players should look to shoot or drive (Rim), dump the ball in the post (Post), or make a ball reversal pass (Action). Spacing is also critical in this offense. You will want to spread the defense so that there is more room for cutting and penetration.

UCONN is all about rebounding & defense. Ball Screen Offensive is all about reading and countering the defense. Like playing motion, you read and react to the defense “Turnover, Don’t practice turnovers.” This is a favorite Lickliter comment during workouts. Terminology with the ball=Low and tight, below the knees. WING ON BALL SCREEN SCREENER/BIGS 1. Low and Wide is what they tell the screener. 2. Screeners back toward the paint/opposite sideline instead toward half court. Gives the ball handler a much better “angle” for driving. 3. Left foot is ON the three point line.

  • Man to Man Motion Offense Summary This Play Is Great to Use for Youth Coaches, Because It Is Very Simple to Teach, Yet Effective
    Simple Baskeball Offenses Man to Man Motion Offense Summary This play is great to use for youth coaches, because it is very simple to teach, yet effective. You can also use this as a simple, continuity offense that you will run over and over. The offense starts in a basic 1-3-1 set. It will provide dribble-drive opportunities. Personnel You want Players 4 & 5 to be your post players. You want players 1, 2, & 3 to have good ball handling skills. Instructions 1. Player 1 can pass to either wing, Player 2 or 3. If the player is on the block on the ball side, he will cut to the opposite block to clear out the ball side. In this case, Player 4 goes to the opposite block for Player 1 to make a basket cut. It will also create an opportunity for Player 2 to dribble drive, if he/she sees an advantage. (Figure 1) 2. Player 1 fakes towards the opposite wing, then brushes his man off Player 5 as he cuts to the basket. (Figure 2) 3. When Player 1 reaches the block area, Player 5 flashes to the high post. Player 2 can pass to either Player 1 or Player 5. If Player 5 gets the ball in the high post, he can also dump the ball down to Player 1. If Player 1 can get the defensive player on his outside hip, he can get an easy score. (Figure 3) 4. If player 1 is not open, he/she cuts to the opposite wing, and Player 5 replaces him on the low block.

  • George Mason University's Building the Full Court Scramble
    GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY'S BUILDING THE FULL COURT SCRAMBLE By Eric Konkol Assistant Basketball Coach George Mason Univeristy Applying effective full court pressure is an excellent way of taking your opponent out of their comfort zone in two simple ways. Its immediate effect is placing duress on the ball handlers, potentially forcing dribbling on passing errors, well before they get across half court and into the scoring area. In the long term, the effects of persistent pressure, constant guessing, and an increase in tempo can cause additional physical and mental fatigue on your opponent and give you a great opportunity for success. Nearly eight years ago, Jim Larranga inherited a George Mason University men’s basketball program that suffered through seven losing seasons including four last place finishes in the Colonial Athletic Association. After implementing an intense style of pressure defense that includes the Full Court Scramble, George Mason now has the most wins in the CAA as well as four postseason tournament appearances in the past six years. At George Mason, we believe that being successful at the Full Court Scramble requires three inner qualities before our players ever step onto the floor. Our three-part philosophy includes: attitude, commitment, and class. First, everyone must have a positive attitude. Each of us makes a decision each day on what type of attitude we will have. We emphasize enthusiasm, passion, along with hard work in our program. There is going to be adversity, and how we bounce back is vital. Secondly, everyone must be totally and unconditionally committed. We must work hard to improve every day, no matter the circumstances.

  • Double / Triple Screen Offense Double / Triple Screen Continuity Offense
    Newsletter Double / triple screen offense Double / Triple Screen Continuity Offense The Double / Triple Screen Offense is a "play call" for us. Our primary offense is the dribble motion, but we will mix in some sets and this continuity offense. I have chosen, for now, this Double / Triple Screen Continuity Offense. Our players run there normal lanes. #5 always runs down the middle of the court and then to the block away from the ball. We run to these alignments so that we can start our Dribble Motion....if not, we are able to begin our Double / Triple Screen Continuity Offense with a "play call". Double / Triple Screen Continuity Offense BASIC CONTINUITY #1 will dribble up into the right wing area. As #1 dribbles in... • #2 cuts to the ball side low block • #4 cuts to the FT line ball side elbow • #3 cuts to the back side FT line elbow • #5 steps out a few feet from the opposite block Double / Triple Screen Continuity Offense BASIC CONTINUITY From here, we will begin everybody's favorite..."America's Play", by screening across with #2 for #5. #5 has stepped out a few feet from the lane so that he will have more room to setup his defender. #3 and #4 are ready to set a double down screen for #2. Since #3 and #4 will be setting a triple screen immediately after this screen, we ask them to stay out of the lane until #5 comes off of the screen from #2. If #5 is open, #1 will deliver the ball to the low post.

Make sure they catch the ball in triple threat the defender over-plays, or denies, the pass. Have your X2 position. Use groups of three, and start with no defense, or token defender deny the pass, and teach O2 to recognize this situation defense (no deny). The players reverse the ball around several and make the back-cut for the pass from O1. Initially, use token times. Then you yell "Go!", and anything goes with the offense defense, and then go 2-on-2 with hard defense. The O2 offensive attempting a quick score, using a dribble move, a cut and pass, player must learn to read the defender, and learn when to v-cut, screen, back-cut, etc and when to back-cut Point Guard Give'n Go Drill Dribble-Entry, Rotate Drill Motion Drills Motion Drills 2 3 2 1 2 1 1 The X2 defender plays "soft" and allows the pass from O1 to O2.

The wing player must pass from O2. Have the X1 defender play token defense at first.

INTRODUCTION The mission of the “3-on-3” program is to allow kindergarten, first and second graders the opportunity to learn the fundamental skills of basketball while having fun and developing a love for the game. This program has a unique structure that provides eight (8) 60-minute sessions for children to learn and enjoy the game of basketball. Here is an overview of a typical session: Organization – First 10-minutes Teams arrive at their assigned gym locations. Head coaches meet with GABL reps and review the day’s session. GABL Rep demonstrates the “Theme of the Day” to all teams in the gym Practice – 15-25 Minutes This is a time to work on fundamental skills. For example, coaches should spend time working on offensive skills such as dribbling, passing, shooting, cutting. The last part of this time could be used to work on defensive skills such as rebounding, the proper way to play man-to-man defense, and getting back on defense. Coaches should have a prepared outline. The Game – 15-25 Minutes Players will receive the opportunity to apply the skills they have learned in 3-on-3 game situations. “Games” will consist of two 10-15-minute halves, with a brief half time.

  • 50 Series Motion Offense Package
    50 Series Motion Offense Package David Preheim Introduction One of my favorite discussions to have with coaches is over the debate Motion Offense vs. Patterned / Continuity Offense. Many coaches, such as Jay Wright, Coach K, Bob Huggins, and Bobby Knight, have had a lot of success with motion based offenses. The same could be same about continuity coaches such as Bo Ryan, Gary Williams, and Mark Few. Most motions coach like motion based offenses because they don’t have to teach their players particular plays, but rather how to play the game. There is a certain level of control that motion coaches give their players, however. You don’t know who is going to be where in a given period of time necessarily. However, by teaching player roles and what your expectations are as a coach can help your players understand what type of shots the offense should generate and what type of shots are in each player’s game. The 50 Series Offense is an open post motion offense package that uses a numbering system to designate specific motion actions. Each number is assigned an offensive focus; however, any motion concept (basket cut, ball screen, post feed) can be used at any particular moment of the offense. For example, if you are in 50, which focus on ball screens, a player can still use a backdoor cut on a defensive overplay or any other motion concept. As a coach, if you know a team struggles at ball screen defense (run 50) or if as a game goes along, you realize that defenders are not jumping the pass (run 51), you can easily communicate to your players a specific motion action you want to take place while still staying in your motion set.
