Overload - Against Man to Man Defenses

I really like this play against a zone defense.

This is a nice and simple play. I implemted it along withhaving the 2 man call out shift if the play is run without a shot oppotunity evolving, and the cutters have to cross the lane and runn it from the other side.

I agree with my dear frank this play will be active with zone defense

Nice for Man and zone movement.

i agree with frank too.think the play is great for a zone defense.definitely gonna implement this in my team asap

merci pour les info

This offense is very simple but very good against zone in same time is good for youth team to learning kids specially centers how to move high-low.

good play. I like the flexability and movement of all the player positions

Now thats a good move, I especially like the fact that player 2 will have an open court. I'll use in my final preperations for my teams Durban Tour. Thanks

NICE DRILLS.

thanks for this drills because we need this tip

YOU CAN USE THIS ON A MAN IF THE 4 SET A PICK FOR 1. 1 WILL CUT TO THE BASKET

NICE DRILLS

In the 3rd step what is the big s word & what does it mean!!! Anybody can answer please

Simultaneously means "at the same time":

this was a great reminder for me. my old high school offence was based off of the overload and we ran a very disciplined give and go & pick and roll. here is something else to do with this play. in #7, 5 sets a long pick for 2 - 4 can cut to the basket or screen for 3 or screen for 5 acting as a double pick for a pick and roll with 2 - 1 still flys across the court but angles upward to be on the three line. and it does not stop there

UMMMMMM IM NOT REALLY COACH IM A PLAYER AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS PLAY OVERLOAD, WILL BE VERY EFFECTIVE TO MY TEAM THE ALBANY JR. FALCONS THANKS FOR UR GREAT HELP.....

i don't know. it seems as if ur crowding everyone on one side of the court makin it easy for the defense to intercept passes and not have an outlet skip pass. but maybe it will work.

I think hoops girl raise a good point but I would add this. If the defense a zone, The 2 pass to the 1 to make the defender on 5 to get between the the 5 and the 1. then the 4 come down showing target hands but set a pick on the 5 man. and the 5 come off the pick on the back side to the high post and then the 4 seal there man on there back and recieve a pass from the 5 for a lay up

that makes no sense why have every player on one side you should leave one person open on the other side while the defense is following the other players

It is a good play it can trick defenses

does this offense really work against zone defense

Coach Russ,

This variation is built for man-to-man defenses. If you would like to see a couple of plays using this formation against zones, click on these two links: http://www.breakthroughbasketball.com/plays/Overload-zone.html & http://www.breakthroughbasketball.com/plays/Overload-zone2.html

ok one thing you have to understand is that if your team is quick and have been trained and coached to be play makers this overload with additional variations is no problem. the reason you would want different variations is to keep the defense guessing and involve all players to use their strongest moves in the areas you have seen them perform at. if you have a 2 that shoots and hits over 60% from a certain side, then design something to get that player involved and spark the score board. this is the same when you have miss matches on your big man down low; or you got a big man that has been trained to be quick and explsive with drop steps and the deadly hook; a playmaker on the move to the basket. look. my variation and anyone elses is not over loading to once side something designed without understanding the probabilities. one thing you look at is the press you go into once you shoot and make the shot. you train the players to make high percentage shots with the mind set that once we shoot we go into the press or base of our defense without turning your back on the offense. i run the 55 press like rutgers university. my offense is designed for each players strengths to be used together. and with the overload since i run a 55, i have three under the boards and two robbers in position. not getting ready, because they already are. and yes this work against a zone, and the overload can be started from half court coming out of your press break.
