How to Teach 5-out Motion Offense! 4 Perfect Basketball Drills

[@marcohutjens5093]

First video I saw of the channel, pleasently surprised. As a youth coach I have been struggling to find the most challenging and intuitive ways of teaching the 5 man out. These drills might do it

THIS IS GOIN IN MY NEXT PRACTICE!

[@niagamuda]

Thank you..great drill. easy to learn..👏👏

[@tjr36t67]

At 5:49, wouldn't player 2 cut after passing up to Player 3? Or in this case they just wait to see if Player 3 drives in? thx

[@basketballorbit]

If a player sees an opportunity for his teammate to drive, he should pay attention to good spacing and clear his driving lane. In this situation, the focus is on 1v1. But in general, you are right that player 2 cuts after a pass.

[@3potato14]

Thanks for the drills! Question: when I was trying to run drill #3 yesterday with the full setup, I was running into the issue with some of the rotations. It seems as though Player 2 and Player 5 will constantly be changing with each other and therefore will never leave the setup or be in a place to return the the mid-line. Is there anyway to modify the drill so we don't run into this issue?

[@basketballorbit]

Yes, there is a solution for that. Sorry for the confusion. In order to move every player to each spot, you need an extra wing-to-top pass at the end of the round. So player 5 makes the layup penetrating from the top and not player 3. So we have 4 passes before layup. Player 4 grabs the rebound.

[@kberwager]

At 5:53 in this video on the last drill does player #3 rebound and go to the end of the line or does player #2 who passes go to the end? Also does the defender go through the two cones too? Just wondering.

[@basketballorbit]

Good question, forgot to mention it. The defender grabs the rebound and goes to the end of the line. The passer player #2 becomes the next defender. Player #3 takes the spot from player #2 and becomes the next passer. That guarantees that every player takes every position.

[@KennyBerwager]

@@basketballorbit Thanks, that clears things up! 👌

[@KennyBerwager]

@@basketballorbit one more question do I make the cones wide enough for both offensive and defensive player to go through? How’s that first part thru the cones work on this last drill???

[@basketballorbit]

@@KennyBerwager The two cones make it harder for the offense to pass and make the drill more game-like. Both offense and defense players should go through the cones. I want the offensive player to only pass when he has dribbled through the cones. Since the pass receiver has no defender, a skip pass would also be possible and that would be too easy.

Loving it, thanks a lot for sharing!

It is a pleasure

[@jasonguo5264]

Hi first of all thank you this was incredibly helpful! My question is will there be a video of how five out can counter 3-2 and 2-3 zone defence and ways to counter those types of defence thanks

[@basketballorbit]

Yes, I am planning a video like this for mid-december. You can already watch this video with 6 general Tips against zone defense: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXa6ZGSlZclgf6c Thank you for your suggestion

This is awesome thank you!! Great drills

[@DjDesignzz09]

Thank uuu

[@czwarts]

With drill 4 after the 1-on-1, where do the players relocate?

[@basketballorbit]

Very good and legitimate question: The cutter player #1 goes to position #3 on the right wing position. Passer player #2 becomes the next defender. He can go to the two cones immediately after the pass and get ready for the next run. Finisher Player #3 becomes the next passer at the left wing position. The defender grabs the rebound and lines up at the midline for the next run. So each player go through each position in turn.

[@czwarts]

@@basketballorbit Thank you. This works much better than the variant we tried during practice. Thanks again!

[@netwolff]

Thanks so much!

[@NanosLifeofHobbies]

Hi 1st off I want to thank you for this video. Very helpful stuff. My questions are, when filling spots, shouldn’t it be in a circle motion or like the triangle motions you demonstrate in the diagram? Because wouldn’t the triangle motion defeat the concept of spacing the floor and making the lanes a little more congested and easier for defenders to cover you because your moving in toward them on your triangle motion? Also when player up top cuts, is it supposed to be on that elbow or straight down the middle than fill corner? Thanx

[@basketballorbit]

Great question. The advantage of the triangle motion is to get rid of the defender in order to receive a pass more easily. You move slowly towards the defender and then quickly step out. This gives you a little head start. The worst thing is a turn over at the top. Moving in a circle motion makes it easier for the defender. You are right, it defeats the concept of spacing, but only for half a second. When a player top cuts, the first option is a give and go. A cut through the elbow allows an easier pass. Thank you for your questions.

[@NanosLifeofHobbies]

@@basketballorbit Thank you for that answer. Very much appreciate that explanation. Your the 1st 1 I’ve seen with the triangle motion and I liked it better than the circle motion because it makes the defense shift. But just wanted to hear your thoughts on it. 1st time coaching & I will be incorporating this offense & your drills to help easily incorporate how to run it. Thank you so much

[@gaiusvelleius]

​@@NanosLifeofHobbies I go one step further: I always teach being a threat after every motion - and that chronologically. You want to be able to back-cut as a wing - if that doesn´t happen, you want to attack the defender after getting the ball after the in and out. If this isn´t possible, you want to play the give and go with the top midde guy. If that doesn´t happen, you want to pass the ball to the other wing, who is filling up the middle, but if you can choose, you want that pass to have at the FT line - the instant give and go with the wing who passed it, is deadly! Only if that isn´t possible, I tell my wing, who is filling up, to step outside and get the ball at the top of the key outside the yard

[@cliftonwhite378]

Really nice.

[@KennyBerwager]

At 4:10 question, why do you have all the players L cutting? I’m assuming since staying out behind the read line and cutting straight to the empty spot is not helpful to get open? Wouldn’t the passer have to wait longer for the cutter if they L cut instead of blast cut?

[@basketballorbit]

A change in speed and direction, like you have with an L-cut, makes it easier to receive a pass and harder for the defender. The player moves slowly towards the defender and then quickly steps out. Another advantage when players L-cut from wing to top through the freethrow line: players can decide either to go to the top or backdoor cut directly to the basket.

[@gaiusvelleius]

the L-cut is much superior: if you can receive the ball at the FT line you are in great position to attack, shoot or play it back from the wing you got the ball from for an easy give and go.. only if that´s not there, cut out to the top of the key: you generate another option to be a threat. If you just cut around the arc, there is nothing gained

[@PixalizeGames]

nice, I noted these drills yesterday and tried them out with a new group of youth players, it worked out pretty good! Not everybody got it the first time and it started slowly, but the more we did it the faster it went. One thing that's always a bit difficult is to let the players 'act' like it's a real match. In most of these excercises, whenever they need to 'fill the gap' they would just do it on a walking pace or executed the action prematurely. Saying something about it, doesn't really help, maybe when adding full defense to it, it might be different. Do you have a 5 our drill with full defense as well?

[@basketballorbit]

I know this problem very well. You're right, these drills are specifically designed to teach players the basics. If you want to get your players into more game-like situations and get them to run the cuts faster and harder, I would break it down to 2v2 or 3v3 and make it a challenge. It must be a challenge to receive the ball against an opponent and it must be a challenge to score. I will present 2 or 3 drills on this in another video in September and let you know. I hope this will help you and your team.

[@basketballorbit]

I show 3 advanced drills with defensive pressure in this video. The focus is on cutting hard with intensity to get open. Just walking to fill the gap will no longer be enough in these drills. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXeroHiXrbeiea8

[@gaiusvelleius]

quickly introduce defense and do it in small formats. 2-2 or 3-3 - plus: do it with no hands from the defense first (have them have their hands behind their backs i.e.)

Good work

[@basketballorbit]

Thank you

[@dougp7934]

Great drills, but on the 2nd and 3rd drills, I find my younger kids can’t figure out how to set up for each consecutive round. I think it’s because they all go in to get the rebound (which I like to encourage). They get frustrated though, because they may pass a spot. Should I sacrifice the rebounding for the sake of the drill?

[@basketballorbit]

You mention a very good point. Personally, I like it when a drill is also about rebounds. In this case I would sacrifice it as learning the motion is more important and it guarantees that every player takes every spot. Since it's a half-court drill, the rebounder can run down the floor after his rebound to the other end of the court and make a layup there before he lines up again.

[@dougp7934]

@@basketballorbit I like that idea. Thanks!

[@dougp7934]

Sorry to keep bugging on drill 3, but if 1 brings it in, they are the shooter in the second round, then they go out. That doesn’t move everyone around to each spot.

[@basketballorbit]

In order to move every player to each spot, you need an extra wing-to-top pass at the end of the round. So player 5 makes the layup and not player 3. So we have 4 passes before layup. Thanks for the tip, I really appreciate that.

[@dougp7934]

@@basketballorbit yeah, that helps a lot. Kids will like this better!

[@Marekcatholic]

Where are midrange shots?!

[@basketballorbit]

Good point. You can easily replace all layups by midrange shots and vary the drills as you like.

The plays and drills in my videos were created with a software called Playbook by Jes-soft. Unfortunately there is currently no printable version of the drills. But I am considering creating PDFs with the drills and making them available to the community. I will let you know. Thank you for the idea.
