High-Low | Throw & Go Entry

Randy Sherman 11/14/2024

Throw & Go We may also start the offense with a throw & go. 1 passes to 5... ...then goes into a handoff with 5 to get it back. 5 rolls after delivering the handoff, 4 replaces. Assuming 1 throws back to 4 on the replace... ...4 looks hi-lo to 5 With no hi-lo available 4 may pass to wing or back to 1. Wing pass = wing ball screen + roll & replace Slot pass = high ball screen + roll & replace See More

Zone Offense Concepts | Loop MIX

Randy Sherman 02/07/2022

Usuing the dribble against the zone Players can use the dribble against zone to manipulate pieces of the zone and apply misdirection. One of the #ZoneOffenseTips I like is the LOOP. In a loop, a player on the wing dribbles at the player on the point sending that player on the LOOP cut (Player 1). The zone would react to the dribble by moving in that direction. Then Player 2 throws back against the grain of that dribble. Misdirection = MIX See More

Florida Gators | Five-Out Offense - Reverse Option

Randy Sherman 12/07/2021

Here are some basic options used by the Florida Gators in their Five-Out Offense. First the REVERSE option where the Gators pass side-top-side then screen away. This unlocks curls, rejects and pop backs and links to some Princeton Offense concepts. A few years ago, I diagrammed this idea of taking some Motion Strong concepts and linking them with Point Series from the Princeton Offense. You can check out that playbook here. See More
