In this live motion offense breakdown drill, we are isolating a screener, a cutter and a post to learn the actions on a closed post side.
Live play should include, down screens, flare screens, DHO, shallow cuts.
Diagrammed below are concepts and elements involoved in 3-on-3 on a side
For more on the step-by-step implementation of a motion offense...
Drill begins with a screener in the slot, a cutter on the wing and a post + an unguarded passer (coach).
Play is restricted to shaded area (opposite edge of the backboard).
Drill CAN begin with a pass to the coach/passer in the opposite slot.
Defense behaves according to their defensive principles
From there players follow their screening rule:
- Screeners screen for cutters
Coach can pass to cutter or screener on the second cut.
Play live on the side
3-on-3 on a side give the offense a chance to implement one of the "automatics" of 4-out motion.
** If a cutter passes from wing to slot on the closed post side, the post steps out into a back screen for the passer. **
1 can also dribble at the wing and "shallow out" 2 to the slot.
This sets up a flare screen situation upon ball reversal to coach as the cutter is now on top of the screener.
1 can also dribble at the wing and DHO to 2.
2 comes out of the DHO with the ability to reverse to coach/passer.
This sets up a flare screen situation upon ball reversal to coach as the cutter is now on top of the screener.
Possession can also begin with a pass to 2 on the wing (may have to use a cutoff step depending on defensive principles).
On the wing catch, 2 checks for shot or drive, post feed.
1 anchors the defense.
If the ball goes inside, 1&2 get into some sort of screener/cutter action (down or flare screen) to occupy potential dig defenders.
2 may dribble at the slot. This elicits the LOOP from 1.
This sets up a flare screen situation upon ball reversal to coach as the cutter is now on top of the screener.
Possession can also begin with cutter (2) on top of screener (1)
Upon the reversal, 1 flare screens for 2 and 5 looks to seal his helping defender in the paint.
