Attack the Pack-line Defense

Good offensive concepts translate across defenses.   

1) Spacing always matters. We call the 3-point line the 'spacing line'.

2) Think about "enhanced spacing" by creating gaps.

3) Create advantage with player and ball movement. Ball reversal creates edges. 

4) Ball reversal happens in 3 general ways. 




Open a gap and drive...might get a drive and kick to corner.


The Packline opens opportunities for skip passes.


Change the spacing and operate your pick-and-roll offense. 

Of course, it helps to make some threes. 

 I won't try to reinvent the wheel. Here's an outstanding review of both Packline defense and attacking it.
