#1 Offense Doesn't Run Plays. They Do This.
I don't think this is debatable... Jay Wright's Villanova program was one of the best in NCAA Men's Basketball during the 2010s.
He won 2 national championships in 2016 and 2018.
And he won 5 regular season Big East Championships... one of the toughest conferences in college basketball.
During their last national championship season, Villanova had the #1 ranked offense according to Ken Pomeroy's stats!
And they were ranked #3, #3, and #4 the previous three years. And this is out of 351 teams!
And here is what they do offensively...
Villanova teaches offensive concepts. They don't teach plays.
When one Big East scout was asked if Villanova had 5 plays, the response was "... If that."
This might sound very similar to an article that we wrote on the importance of avoiding plays and teaching UOCs (Universal Offensive Concepts) to youth teams and high school teams. That way, they know how to play in any situation and for any program.
Additionally, your practice time isn't wasted on teaching plays which does NOT make players better. Instead, you teach them how to play. This empowers you to spend every minute of practice developing better players. In my opinion, this is what every youth, middle school, and JV coach should be doing.
When you do this over multiple years, you really start to separate from the pack. That's because these little incremental improvements really start to add up over time.
And obviously, the best college coaches like Jay Wright see the value in teaching this at the college level as well.
That's why we believe the Complete Offensive System with Tim Schuring is one of the best videos on the market for youth and high school basketball.
It does exactly this. It teaches you HOW TO PLAY, not how to run a play. It teaches you universal offensive concepts. And it shows you a step-by-step process on how to teach this to your team.
For quick references, you also get supplemental eBooks. This saves you tons of time when you just need to look something up quick.
Coach Schuring has used this system at every level... youth, middle school, high school, and college.
