Multiple Means to Get Entry into an Offense

"Good artists borrow; great artists steal." - Picasso

We teach spacing, cutting, screening, and passing as the core elements of offense. We want to execute the same concepts from different sets.

We practice a "continuous dribble handoff" offense with the 5 opposite the ball, near the midpost. Arete Hoops provides a different look into similar concepts. The diagrams are lifted directly.

The "Four Corners" look gets the "Point Forward" the ball at the top. Obviously, this can establish one-on-one if your center can put the ball on the floor. If you have a strong pick-and-roll team then you can immediately see a spread pick-and-roll version at the top. 

The more common action is guards cutting low (reminiscent of Triangle Offense) and forwards lift.

The center can "Dribble At" either wing to begin a downhill drive via dribble handoff.

On the overplay, Dribble At creates backdoor action.

On the weak side (help side) you have options such as back screen/flare screen or down screen for the player on the baseline to create opportunities and occupy the defense.

Arete Hoops emphasizes that everyone is involved and that "touching the ball energizes."
