A 3-point shooting Post Player is a huge advantage to destroy Zone Defenses. Movement without the ball. Corner 3-pointer specialist Center or Power Forward

100% Glad you like it! Thanks for commenting.

[@joshuajeffrey1930]

thanks i'll try it tonight in my coaching session with my team

[@fea1990]

Can this be run as a continuity? Looking at trying to apply this to younger JV level basketball

[@BasketballImmersion]

Yes on the dribble up after the last cutter could reverse it and start the sequence again. Great idea coach!

[@fea1990]

@@BasketballImmersion do you have any film on that part? or have it drawn up somewhere?

[@BasketballImmersion]

@@fea1990 I do not but I can try and come up with something.

[@jtfricke32]

I would be very curious to see that as well. I love the concepts that this offense shows. The spacing, the cutting and the options it allows for seem like they would be very difficult for a defense to handle. Out of curiosity, if you were coaching against this what defensive adjustments would you make?

[@each1teach1academy43]

jtfricke32 one of the keys to defending it is that middle man bumping the cutter. You could move that middle man strong side and have that weak side wing replace

[@jeanhalbert4659]

I have to be honest: none of this seem to work if you are not a great 3-pt shooting team....

[@BasketballImmersion]

Thanks for the comment. While 3-point shooting is extremely valuable could this action not be used to attack closeouts and see the soft spots in the zone? Would think it is relative to what you emphasize but I do agree it is not a fit for every coach or team.

[@jeanhalbert4659]

@@BasketballImmersion I understand. But you should show more of those closeouts attacks, we mostly see 3-pt shots on your video.

[@BasketballImmersion]

@@jeanhalbert4659 fair point for sure thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@jamesharvey3667]

You don't need to shoot the 3-pt good! You have two of those plays where they dish the ball to the post , and one guy even attack the basket and got a lay up. If the guys who took the 3-pt shots would've made one more pass again the driving lanes would've been open because everybody was trying to block the 3pt shot. Don't really know what you were seeing.

[@t.bruceford4098]

@@jamesharvey3667 Exactly. Instead of shooting the 3, driving to the basket will open up passing lanes. And having players that can pull up or make floaters will disrupt the defense. Next trip down the defender will try to play that corner pass leaving a gap in the defense.
