  • 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.

  • Pressure Man-To-Man
    #20 Series Defense: Pressure Man-to-Man The #20 defense was Coach Dean Smith’s predominate defensive attack. He used the term attack for his pressure man-to-man defense since the objective was to initiate the action on defense to disconcert the opponent and force them out of their intended offense. When successful your team will decrease their opponent’s points per possession and by so doing, will increase your own. For best results with the 20 defense you should look to accomplish these three objectives: 1. Pressure the opponent to put the ball on the floor and force him to the sideline with it. 2. Play the ball and the immediate outlets aggressively. Overplay each offensive man one perimeter pass from the ball by blocking every passing lane. 3. Constantly support this aggressiveness with help from the weak side. There are some rules to learn; however, the defensive principles remain the same. Most of these principles are taught through four simple drills. Eventually, we will get to these drills as a means of explaining the 20 defense as used by Coach Dean Smith. To begin with, let’s start our explanation of the duties of the player guarding the ball handler. Guarding the Player with the Ball There are three circumstances your defensive player may find himself guarding the man with the ball: 1. The offensive player may have the ball and not yet dribbled. 2. He may have already dribbled. 3. He may be dribbling. Dribble Alive Stance: In playing a man on the perimeter who’s dribble is still alive, keep the tail low, be on balance, and have a hand up and over the ball.

One of the positive outcomes derived from past editions of this valuable study has been a notable improvement in the often‐derogatory ways that sports commentators used to routinely speak of women athletes. The good news in this report is that there is far less insulting and overtly sexist treatment of women athletes than there was twenty or even ten years ago.

  • Basic Basketball Screens (Picks) If You've Ever Watched the Game of Basketball, the Great Basketball Teams Set Very Good Screens (Picks)
    Basic Basketball Screens (Picks) If you've ever watched the game of basketball, the great basketball teams set very good screens (picks). Screens (picks) will open up your offense in many ways. It doesn't matter if you primarily use aball screen offense or an open post offense. For example, when an offensive player sets a good screen (pick) the offensive player receiving the screen will have a good opportunity to score and pass to someone who is open. Once the defense adjusts, the screener often becomes wide open for shots. If you're setting good screens, it'll open your game as well. Most of all, it benefits the TEAM. In this article, we will cover what a screen is, how to set a screen, how to run off a screen, and how to use basic screens. Here's the definition of a screen: When an offensive player legally blocks the path of a defender to open up another offensive player for a shot or to receive a pass. Fundamentals of the Screener (Person setting the screen): Feet should be a little wider than shoulder-width apart. It's very important to have a wide, strong base. Hands should be crossed across your chest (girls) or protecting your groin area (boys) The screener needs to be stationary as the screen is set. Otherwise, the screener will be called for a offensive foul. Body should be vertical (should not be leaning forward or backwards). Square to the defender. The middle of the screener's chest should be in line with the defender's shoulder and hips.

  • Screens / Legal and Illegal
    SCREENS / LEGAL AND ILLEGAL A legal screen is action by a player who, without causing contact, delays or prevents an opponent from reaching a desired position. Screening situations are more difficult to administer than guarding situations. Time and distance are factors that must be considered in each screening situation. In all situations, except one, when the conditions of time and distance have been met, the one sure guide an official can use is that the screener must be stationary. If the screener is moving when contact between the screener and the player being screener occurs, the screener is guilty of a blocking foul. The only legal moving screen permitted by rule is when the screener is moving exactly the same path and same direction as the player being screened. If a screen is legally set, a player who is screened from the front or side (within the visual field) must avoid contact with the screener by going around the screener. If the screen is set outside the visual field, such as a “blind” or “rear” screen, the screener must permit the opponent, but not to exceed, one normal step toward the screen without making contact. Things to remember: 1. A screener may be as close as he/she desires, providing the screener does not make contact when setting the screen from the front or side of a stationary opponent. 2. When a “blind” or “rear” screen is set outside the visual field of a stationary opponent, space for a normal step backward must be given the screened player. 3. In all situations but one, the screener must be stationary.
