Motion Offence – Floor Spots on Dribble Penetration
Introduction –
 All motion offence is predicated on purposeful player and ball movement
 Dribble penetration remains one of the most difficult aspects to defend
 Moving to appropriate floor spots on penetration occupies defence and spreads
the floor
 Purposeful movement to floor spots make every player a scoring threat
Ball-side movement –
 Penetration of ball to the same side as the ball-side wing – slide corner
 Penetration of ball away from the ball-side wing – “clock” action
 Receiver must move on the 1st bounce
 Driver must “drive to score” – 2 feet in the key
 Concept of “point & pass” – balance and strength
Slide corner
Clock action
Perimeter floor spots –
 All players must move on penetration of the ball into the key
 Spacing must be maintained/this means all players must move or a “traffic jam”
will be created
 Receivers must move with the intention to be ready to score on the catch
 Incorporate movement in shooting drills
Driving the post –
 Driving the post/post receivers principles valuable tool with young, developing
interior players (or if you don’t have any bigs!)
 Eliminates help
 Post defenders don’t like being taken out of their “comfort zone”- movement
makes interiors defenders adjust, move and contain
Bringing it all together –
 All 4 receivers must be on the move when the ball is penetrated into the key
 “Constantly coach the hands”- players must carry hands and be ready
 Important to drill so it becomes natural – players move instinctively
 Concept of read and react still applies
Summary –
 All successful offence requires players to be able to drive right and left, use nondribble moves, move without the ball, shoot the 5 metre jump shot and execute
the jump shot off the dribble
 This system is an effective one to compliment motion offence, but also to teach
the individual offensive skills of the game to young players
 It is fun to teach and fun to play!
