I'm the Varsity and JV boys coach at the Qingdao No. 1 International School of Shandong Province in China. Last year we ran a motion offense using cutters off of the high-post. This year I have several new players that can shoot well from the outside, so this motion offense will be great for my team! Thanks for a simple, well spaced, flexible plan with good options...This is exactly what I was looking for in a motion offense.

In UCLA shouldn''t the 2 look to hit 5 off the screen and roll?

@Ange - The pass from the 2 to the 5 is a difficult one to make - unless the 5 slips the screen if his defender hedges too high....I have found that if the 1, instead of cutting off the double screen on the weakside, pops to the strongside corner, and then rises out of the corner to the wing as the 2 comes off the 5's pick and roll/pick and slip, the 2 can reverse the ball back to the 1 who has a much better angle to deliver the pass to the 5, who would seal his man (or even better, the 2's defender if he tries to go under the screen) and get a good low post feed for the 5 to go to work. On the weak side, those players can interchange, screen away for the shooter coming towards the 2 for the jumper, or position the shooter in the high post, and set a fade/flare screen, with of course the screener then diving down the middle for the wide open bucket. There are many good options here!!!

thank you for your quick hitters they help me a lot on my team, im coach for itsrll at durango mexico, your webpage is a great help for myself and my team. thanks a lot... god bless you....

Looking for Quick hitter plays with a two guard front, and one post player.

I am an OLD SPURS fan (90 next month) who left San Antonio to be near kids (in their fifties!) in Dallas. I have an NBA pass so I can watch my beloved SPURS. I am alone new (lost hubby of 67 years) this year. Just wanted you to know that I am adding a new dimension to my viewing "skills" through your Breakthrough Basketball. Sean Elliot is good at explaining plays but the action is very fast--now I can study plays in print...and continue to learn about a game I love.
Thanks, Ben.

The motion offense is works best against which defense. 2-3, 2-3 Zone, man to man etc. And what drills are best to run to teach youth about the motion offense.

THX its a verry good site, i buy already a few books also, annyway a good site for coaches..greets from belgium

I have a ton of stuff out of 2 guard set with one post player.

Thank you for the plays, they are simple but very effective!

Thank you for the plays,

one more option to the UCLA play (i know these are quick hitters but just thought i would throw it out there for you). After 2 passes to 1 off the double screen-4 and 3 can then double screen across the lane for 5. This i accually to a T the offense we run from time to time that i think was put together by Rick Majarus at Utah.
