Though considered the simplest motion offense by a great many coaches, the flex has been successfully used by countless middle school, high school, university, NBA, and international teams. The flex is a 4-out, 1-in (four perimeter players with one inside man) motion type offense where all five players may become interchangeable throughout the possession. In order to run a successful flex motion, your players will need to be fundamentally sound in all areas of the game and have the ability to throw crisp passes, set solid screens, execute sharp cuts, and make mid-range jump shots. Along with these skills, it is also extremely beneficial to have versatile, inside-out type players who can both post-up inside and shoot the basketball on the perimeter. While the flex is generally considered to be a jump-shooting offense, there are many post-up opportunities available for the team that favors an inside-oriented game. The flex is also a great offense for teams that are currently competing at the middle school and high school level. This is because the flex is extremely simple in its most basic form and can be taught and learned rather quickly. Many coaches also find that this offense offers them an opportunity to use basic motion concepts to teach their athletes the fundamentals of the game while still maintaining a level of offensive control. Over the years, many coaches have mistakenly dismissed the flex based on its reputation of being an easy-to-scout, easy-to-defend offense that has no options beyond the initial sets. Since there are actually hundreds of options and counters available to any team that wants to delve deeply into the flex offense, those coaches have done themselves and their teams a great disservice. This book was created to debunk the myth that the flex is a remedial offense, while giving you everything you need to know to run this outstanding motion offense successfully! In case you haven’t already noticed, this book is not your typical book on the flex offense. Though there are other books and articles out there, none go into the same amount of quality detail or provide the same quantity of information as this guide. In the next several chapters, we are going to discuss the basics movements of the flex, including how to combat switching defenses, clear-out options, ball-screen sets, how to disguise the flex, effective shooting drills, and much, much more! 3 www.basketballclassroom.com Benefits of the Flex Motion Offense: • Great offense for improving a player’s basic fundamental skills • All five players are interchangeable, forcing the other team’s defensive players to guard all areas of the court and all offensive positions • A true motion offense with only a few key principles, making it very easy to teach and learn • Has a myriad of sets and counter plays, making itan extremely fun half-court offense to coach • With its initial 4-out-1-in alignments, the flex transitions smoothly from any fast- breaking system. • One of the few offenses that can be equally successful against a man-to-man or a zone defense • Emphasis is on teaching rather than playing, which helps players improve more quickly • Provides the offense with multiple scoring opportunities • Excellent offense for teams lacking a true point guard or a true post player • Can be used as a delay-game offense and/or to control tempo throughout a game 4 www.basketballclassroom.com Basic Motion The flex, though a simple motion offense, is designed to get one of two wide open shots. • The first shot opportunity comes after the flex cut that occurs on the baseline. If this is executed properly, the defense will often get caught on the flex screen,giving the cutter a wide-open layup or an easy post up. • The second shot opportunity is for the player coming off the down screen on the weakside. Because the screener’s defender will often be caught giving help to the flex cut defender, the player coming off the down screen has an opportunity to be wide open. Diagrammed below arethe basic movements in the flex motion offense: Diagram 1A 1 passes the ball to 2. 3 cuts to the strong corner. Once 2 receives the pass, 5 steps out to the short corner to set a flex screen for 4. 4 makes a hard flex cut to the opposite block, looking for a layup or a post up. 5 www.basketballclassroom.com Diagram 1B After passing to2, 1 now sets a firm downscreen for 5. 5 comes off the downscreen to the top of the key looking for hiss hot. Diagram 1C 2 passes to 5. 1 fills to the strong corner after setting the downscreen. 4 steps out to the short corner, setting a flex screen for 3. 3 makes a hard flex cut to the opposite block, looking for a layup or a post-up. 6 www.basketballclassroom.com Diagram 1D After reversing the ball, 2 sets a downscreen for 4. 4 comes off the downscreen, looking for hisshot at the top of the key. Diagram 1E 5 reverses the ball to 4. Now, normal flex motion occurs. 7 www.basketballclassroom.com Corner Options Arguably the biggest drawback of the flex is its predictability. Most coaches believe that if you can deny the reversal pass at the top of the key, the offense will come to a halt. However, even if the reversal pass is being denied, you still have options. The next option of the flex is the pass to the corner. There are many options off this one pass, but for now we are going to show you the three most common. *When passing to the corner, a great option is simply to post up and jam the ball inside!! Single Screen: 2A: After 2 passes to 3 in the corner, 2 sets a crossscreen for 1 at the top of the key. 1 is coming off the screen towards the wing looking to receive a pass from 3. 2B: 3 swings the ball to 1. After 2 screens for 1, 2 continues to set a downscreen for 4. 4 comes off the down-screen looking for his shot at the top of the key. 2C: 1 passes to 4 and now the normal flex action occurs. After setting the down screen, 2 pops in to fill the strong side corner. 5 steps out to the short corner and sets a flex screen along the baseline. 3 cuts off the screen to the opposite block looking for a quick post up or a layup. Diagram 2A Diagram 2B Diagram 2C 8 www.basketballclassroom.com Double Screen: The double screen option is very similar to the single screen, where the passer is screening away. However, instead of just setting one crossscreen, both perimeter players on top will now set a staggered screen for the player in the opposite corner. *This can also be a great quick hitter for a 3 at younger levels of competition. 3A: 1 is being denied at the top of the key and cannot receive the reversal pass from 2. 2dribbles over to the wing and passes the ball to 3 in the corner. 3B: 1 sets the first staggered screen and 2 sets the second one around the elbow area. 4 must be patient and wait for his screens to be set and then come off shoulder to shoulder. 3 passes to 4, who is looking for the shot at the top of the key. Coaching Tip: 2 must set a “head hunter” screen. He cannot simply screen an area, but instead must find a man and make contact. 3C: If 4 does not have the shot, then reverse the ball to 2 and now the normal flex action resumes. 5 steps out to the short corner and sets a flex screen along the baseline. 3 makes a hard flex cut looking for a wide open layup or a quick post on the opposite block. 4 sets a down-screen for 5, who then comes off the screen to the top looking for the shot or the reversal. Diagram 3A Diagram 3B Diagram 3C 9 www.basketballclassroom.com UCLA Pick: This is another great option if you have a bigger guard who can post up or a post player who can step out and shoot out from the perimeter. This is also an effective way to get your best player two different shot opportunities in the same possession. *Notice how 2 will get the chance for a quick post up AND a catch-and-shoot opportunity at the top of the key in just a matter of a few passes. 4A:1 is being denied and cannot receive a reversal pass. 2 must now dribble and pass to 3 in the corner. On the pass, 5 will post up hard for a count of two seconds, then set a UCLA pick at the high post for 2. 2 will fake the crossscreen to 1(just like the single screen option) and then cut off the UCLA pick and head for the block.

  • 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.

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.

  • Women's Lacrosse Basics
    Women's Lacrosse Basics Rules of Play The Youth and HS have different rules, and the youth have different levels of play based on age. The guides on https://www.uslacrosse.org/rules/girls-rules can get you more familiarized for your athletes age level. The rest of the information here can give you a sense of the flow of play. Start of the game The game begins at the start of each half and after each goal with a draw at the center of the field. The team that takes possession of the ball during the draw is on offense. Offense and Defense Offense: Women’s lacrosse is a fast-paced game; since players are spread across a large field, speed is the key factor to success. Teamwork is critical! Good passing leads to scoring chances and prevents the opposition from taking possession of the ball. Field players run while cradling the ball and look to pass to open teammates with the objective of creating an open shot at the goal. Some basic offense strategies include settle, motion, drive, cut and shoot. • Settle Offence: • Motion Offence: • Drive: • Cut: • Shoot: Defense: The defense attempts to stop the offense from scoring by deflecting or intercepting passes, taking the ball from the opponent, or forcing bad shots. Physical contact is not permitted; however the defender can guide the offensive player out of the 8M and safely stick check the opponent’s Crosse to knock the ball loose. Defenders will either play “man-to-man” defense, in which each player is assigned to guard a certain opponent, or “zone defense,” in which defensive players guard a specific area of the field.
