Reasons for using this offense
- To change the tempo of the game.
- To give your more athletic players an opportunity for "takes" to the basket.
- To create mis-matches on defense.
- It's a good delay offense.
- It has continuity.
- Opponents hate to play defense against this, which gives you a psychological advantage. Defenses must be very disciplined or you are going to get some great scoring opportunities.
- It allows you to shoot 3's if the defense gets lazy and sags. It allows for great 1-on-1,or 2-on-2 situations. If the defense overplays, there are opportunities for back-door cuts.
- When you are over-matched size wise, it moves the advantage to you, providing you can handle the ball and read defenses.
- It can be used at the end of practice for conditioning and fundamentals, both offensively and defensively. Games up to "50", you make the rules. See 50 Points Full-Court Drills.
- It teaches teamwork and movement without the ball.
