PHILOSOPHY

● Allow players to play

● Positionless basketball

● Teach basic reads followed by

specific reactions
● “When/If X, then Y” decisions

● Universal cues for cuts, motions,

screens—no set plays

 SPACING
● “Spacing is offense”
● Spots on the court establish the

foundation of the offense

● Setting up the half-court offense

● Cutting

● Posting up

● Red = 5-out; Blue = 4-out

 PASS, CUT, FILL
● When we pass, we automatically
CUT to the basket, expecting a
pass
● If no pass, fill to the corner

AWAY from the pass

● When a player basket cuts, other

players FILL the spot

 BACKDOOR CUES
● If one spot away from the ball and
your defender moves to DENY a
pass, we automatically CUT to the
basket, expecting a pass
● If the ball handler DRIBBLES AT
our spot, we automatically CUT to
the basket, expecting a pass
● These cuts are the same as our
passing cuts
