I agree with Don on this…… we seldome had big post players but when we did the rule was simple… no jump shots until he touches the ball. Forget the number of passes.
An inside out side game creates a lot of problems for the defense… they have to constantly turn to find the ball and help if the post is any good at all.. and this will open up shots for others.
When we didn’t have post players we talked about ball reversals…. not just passes because the kids would take the easy way out and pass it back and forth to each other… they are pretty smart…. we wanted at least 3 ball reversals UNLESS someone had a great take to the basket, our post player was wide open or my best three point player had a great look…. a lot of exceptions but it worked for me.

working the ball wing to post to weak side elbow absolutley destroys defenses.well said the open shots are staggering

Another thing to tell players about getting post touches in a motion offense is the ball must go inside the paint before an outside shot. This could be a post touch, a dribble drive, a pass to a player cutting. If you are team that walks the ball up and runs motion this works well, it also helps to eliminate transition 3’s or makes sure there is a rebounder if a transition 3 is attempted.

I have inherited a junior high team (7th grade) basically at the beginning of the season (they have played 3 games). They can get up and down the court in a heart beat and play great defense. I have a bunch of thorough breds and a don’t want to turn them into quarter horses. What offense would be best for the team I have?
