How to run the 4 Out, 1 In Offense vs. man-to-man Defense

[@ryansacoco2060]

A 4-1 is absolutely effective against a 2-3 zone- or any zone for that matter! Good luck coaches!

[@FRADemons]

Best video of basketball motion so far. You are incredible at explaining basketball movements. Thanks a lot

[@CoachRuss]

Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it.

[@deandrepage1048]

Best with your Power Forward uptop in a slot position for Guard-to-Guard Pass over the top. Hi-Lo floor spacing.

Thanks for this coach! Coaching U12 Girls Rep and needed something really simple so they can understand offense concepts. ALSO... in this age group, we're not allowed to play zone. So happy as a clam!

[@CoachRuss]

You’re welcome coach! Thanks for the positive feedback.

I am 30, and my coach sent me this video, ... seems to be universal

[@LekeO]

I'm 18 playing organized basketball for the first time. My skills are pretty good because I've been playing in recs for years now all but we never run plays and my athleticism has carried me. All this is a little confusing to me do you think I'll get the hang of it soon?

[@CoachRuss]

If you're passionate about something, I don't think there's anything that can prevent a passionate and determined person from learning anything.

[@2linefitness450]

I would be interested in that defense at 3:00 as a matter of fact

[@redruss-kv8ht]

Great video. I would like to see some more scoring options, like handoffs and fake handoffs

[@vatsan2483]

With respect to handoffs and plays involving post isnt paint already clogged?? I mean help is easy isnt?? I want more on both the defense help for 4-1 offence and post play as continuity to this offense!! Good job Coach!!

[@highpoint7625]

THIS is the best video I've found on this type of offense. Thanks Coach!

[@CoachRuss]

Wow, thanks for the high praise. I really appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

[@frankthomas2595]

More scoring options thanks for the great video!

[@omarghosn8655]

Problem with youth bball is the most kids will see that the post player got the ball and they will all cut...there needs to be straightforward rules...like passer cuts or gets the hand off...nit just anybody

[@CoachRuss]

Indeed. Patience is definitely something that grows with age and experience. In life and in basketball.

[@thebigeasy4318]

This offense is easy to follow and remember. Good job Coach.

[@CoachRuss]

Thanks for the positive feedback.

[@j4yk13jake0]

Thanks a lot man, for real! The best video i could've found about it!

[@benembry1810]

What are the drawbacks to running this against a 2-3 zone?

[@CoachRuss]

You won’t get the same 1-on-1 drives to the basket (with the opportunity to score if you beat the defender off the dribble) like you would against a man-to-man.

[@hustondan]

Great video! do you have any suggestions or videos on how to practice 4 out 1 in? and drills to run in practice?

[@CoachRuss]

Thank you 🙏🏼 this offense is really centered around beating your defender off the dribble and getting to the basket and creating your own shot. I would focus on 1-on-1 drills with limited time or dribbles, and then for more advanced players 2-on-1 drills (2 defenders), same concept. I hope that helps.

[@John-xeyvfkwieba]

Not to speak for Coach Russ but from what I've seen with our players they need to focus more on cutting and receiving or passing the ball immediately. Sometimes I've seen it where all they do is dribble after the pass and never passing to the cutter. Coach Russ mentioned against good help defenses then driving to the basketball wont work, rather slot and wing players will need to raise ball awareness and find the open spots. Drills focusing on those skills as well should be beneficial.

[@blackmamba8391]

What's been your experience with a young team learning these concepts? How long before it clicked? I'm going to use this but unfortunately only have limited practice time (1 hour per week).

[@CoachRuss]

Hey Coach, I know the struggles of limited practice time. It’s really tough. So much you want to go over and so little time. I can’t recall how long it took for teams to grasp this concept, but if I had a young and very in experienced team and limited practice time, this is what I would run. I’ve seen teams be successful with this offense with only one person who could get to the rim and beat their defender off the dribble. The tough part would be to get your team onboard with letting the players who can dribble/score take most of the shots. I hope that helps coach.

[@therealthunderwolf7084]

Thanks that helped a whole lot
