  • 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.

  • 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.

  • John Calipari Dribble Drive Motion 5 Offense
    John Calipari Dribble Drive Motion 5 Offense It's been a while since I've revisted the dribble drive offense with any depth and since John Calipari's DVDs have finally debuted, I thought I would release the hounds with Calipari's version of Walberg's system. There a few continuity-based halfcourt sets that Calipari has added to the system while at Memphis and will likely use at Kentucky. It will take a few posts to get them all through, but this is the first one. Motion 5 To preface the diagrams, remember that at all times the goal of the offense is to get to the rim. Once a player gets into the 'rack zone', DDM terminology for 'in the key', the goal is to dunk it (or layup). Ordinarily, O5 is down low, but in this case O4 is down low and O5 is up top. The continuity starts with O1 trying to beat his defender off the dribble. If he cannot get past, he passes to O2 who comes straight up from the corner. O1 loop cuts to the corner after the pass O2 attempts to take his defender off the dribble by turning the corner with a middle drive. O5 relocates cross the lane up top. O3 steps up out of the corner to the opposite free- throw line extended. O4 relocates block to block. If O2 is unable to turn the corner, he can find O4. If O4 is not open, then the pass goes to O3, The same action repeats except with O3 driving and O1 in the opposite corner coming up to the opposite free-throw line extended, Now, you can run that action over and over again, just like any traditional continuity offense like a flex, etc.

  • Buffalo Continuity This Continuity Offense Was Developed from a Set Play Ran by Buffalo High School in Minnesota
    Buffalo Continuity This continuity offense was developed from a set play ran by Buffalo high school in Minnesota. I was an assistant coach for a team that played them in the playoffs and this was one of the set plays our scouts sent to us. I really liked the action and just tweaked it to make it a continuity offense. In all reality, I am a motion offense guy through and through. But I’m not against using set plays or simple continuity offenses from time to time. This is one I feel I could implement easily and employ if need be. I’m going to add some thoughts and notes in on the possible little things you could add here and there. Take what you want, throw what you don’t! Make this offense your own. Basic Overview For the diagrams, the offense starts out in a 1-2-2 look. I will have a section in the end on getting into it out of different alignments. The point guard brings the down and picks a side by dribbling at one of the wings. As the wing sees that they are being dribbled at, they should cut to the basket, across the lane and to the opposite corner of the floor. The backside post player can set a flair screen initially for him if you desire, especially if he is a shooter. The post player on the back side should flash up to the back side high post as should the ball side post player. The ball side post player, however, can wait a second or two and look for a post up if you desire.

When you hear coaches talk about the Dribble Motion Offense, you hear them make rather bold statements like, “This offense will revolutionize the game, much like the spread or motion offense did when it was introduced.” Those kinds of statements certainly get your attention. It got mine. And I set out to learn all I could about this offense, knowing full well that if this is going to revolutionize the game, than I better learn all I can about it, because I’m going to face it eventually. That is exactly how I came across this offense. Not necessarily with the intention of using it, but rather to learn the intricacies of the system so that I would be better equipped to defend it. Plain and simple. By explaining to you why I like this system, I think it would be best to look at what others feel may be the weaknesses of this system, and then give you my opinion and how I hope to counter some of the real and perceived “drawbacks” of this system.
