More Offensive Theory

My favorite part of basketball is watching great passes.




I've sent some information by Email to the distribution list.

Here's a link to a very short video by Stanford Coach Tara VanDerveer. The point isn't that we're going to run the Stanford offense, but certain themes constantly re-emerge in offensive basketball.

• Move without the ball
• Maintain spacing (CRITICAL)
• Do the above and ball movement becomes much easier
• Good offense breaks the game (5 on 5) into smaller pieces, that advantage the offense

As an example, leading 31-30 yesterday, our team executed the press breaker perfectly...creating a 2-1 break, leading to 1) recognition, 2) perfect pass, and 3) open layup to seal the win.
