Flex Offense & Dribble Drive Motion

The Flex continuity is a powerful screening game utilizing strong baseline and down screens. The continuous "Pick the Picker" screening action puts a tremendous burden on the defense by having to defend two different types of screens simultaneously. Teams that exhibit good patience will surely create open shots. The Flex continuity also provides strong offensive rebounding and second efforts by constantly having two rebounders on the weakside.

Keys to Success in ANY Motion Offense

Nothing creates more problems for the defense than movement. However, this movement must be with a purpose. To create a lead, make a sharp basket cut, set a screen, or establish rebounding position. Constant motion will not only create good shot opportunities, but it also prevents the defense from sagging off or double teaming along with drawing the big defenders away form the basket.

Players must be a complete player and develop their triple threat skills. In a motion offense, every player plays each position, it requires that all players develop their triple threat (Pass, Drive & Shot) skills to their utmost. In developing these fundamental skills players become complete players which not only contributes to an improve team effort, but also provide long-term benefits for future play.

Patience is key ingredient of any motion offense. Players must develop an aptitude and attitude to cycle the offense uninterrupted until a good, open shot is achieve. This means giving up a good shot at times to achieve a great shot. This also means sacrificing individual statistics for team statistics.

Maintain proper spacing is a must. Most passes should be made within a 12' to 15' distance. This spacing spreads the defense and allows for quick, accurate passing. Passes beyond 15' carry a high risk of interception.

Motion relies on teamwork, not individual talent, to create open shots. Therefore, setting and using screens is paramount to any motion offense. It is the responsibility of the receiver to set up and run their defender into the screens. When setting a screen, players should execute a bent knee jump stop to assume a solid, wide base. They should hold their arms close to their body and have vision on the ball. Set strong screens and do not allow defender to push through. However, players must be remain stationary and not step out or lean at last moment.

Back cut, do not fight defensive pressure. Recognize passing lane denials and back cut hard to basket. On back cuts go all the way to the basket. Do not head fake to get open. Head faking fakes out the passer more times than it does the defender.

Practice Thoughts
When first installing a motion offense do not expect immediate results. Like most offenses, motion type offenses take time sometimes even years to develop and refine to their fullest potential. Keep in mind that according to the laws of learning it takes a minimum of five to six week to create habits.

Top 5 NBA Guards & Individual Development DVD

As the seasons begin to change amidst unprecedented political debate while entering a new era of financial irresponsibility, I for one am ready for some hoops. There is nothing better than watching this game on a cold December weekend protected by the warmth of the gym lights, awakened by the sound of that bouncing ball...In honor & anticipation of the upcoming season, I have chosen my Top 5 NBA Guards and included information on how to purchase a DVD compilation of over 300 MB on individual workouts & drills including breakdowns of the Memphis Dribble Drive and Herb Welling's Dribble Motion. Go here to purchase: http://store.payloadz.com/go?id=178241

5. Deron Williams - I know this guy might not be on everyone's list with guys like Billups, Davis, Iverson, and McGrady left out, but I can't help it. I love his game. He is a smooth player with a remarkable court savvy and sense of how to play. On top of that he is a big, physical guard that can dominate a game with his outside touch or ability to create offense for his teammates. His leadership will determine if the Jazz are able to make another run to the Western Conference Finals (2007).

4. Steve Nash - What more can I say about the toughest guard in the league? He is the grittiest competitor since Michael Jordan in my opinion as evidenced by the way he handled the Spurs/Suns debacle two years ago in the playoffs. I don't want to reopen any wounds here, but most men would have lost their temper after any one of the cheap shots unhinged by the Spurs. Despite the trades and chemistry problems, Nash continues to lead one of the fastest scoring attacks in the league. Go here to learn about the Suns vaunted fast break attack: http://store.payloadz.com/go?id=175057


3. Dwayne Wade - Despite injuries holding him back most of last season, DWade elevated his status to the second best player in the world during the Olympic games. At 6'4, 215-pounds, Wade is an exceptional athlete that relies on his spin move near the 15' marker as well as his Jordanesque ability to finish plays at the rim. His rugged, reckless style can cause injury as he has missed many games each season. However, I love watching this competitor play basketball and if he remains healthy, he will be a force to reckon with in the JV league Eastern Conference.

2. Chris Paul - At 23 he is the youngest guard on the list, but has the potential to be the best. After struggling through 64 games his second season, I was worried about his durability. However, after leading his team out of nowhere last season to the Western Conference semifinals before bowing out to the reliable Spurs, Paul has shown the ability to be his best when his best was needed. This competitive greatness is a trademark of the great ones and if Paul can remain healthy, he has a chance to be part of that elite group.

1. Kobe Bryant - This was the easiest position to choose in my opinion. Even Michael Jordan recently went on record saying Bryant is the best floor player of the era. Even more impressive is that he did it with a torn ligament in the pinky finger of his right hand, should have had surgery in February and probably won't have it done until the end of next season. Topping it off, he proved to be the clutch performer for the U.S. Olympic team on its way to a gold medal. There is no arguing this position.

Speaking of Michael Jordan...here is an old clip of him breaking a backboard...

Don Haskins & the NBA's Best Plays and Individual Workouts

Don Haskins was a legend in his own time for starting five black players while the head coach at Texas Western when they played Adolph Rupp's team for the 1966 NCAA National Championship. Disney made his story into the movie entitled Glory Road. I found this article and was amazed at the life of this man even after he had retired.

Team USA & Memphis Dribble Drive Offense

I have been gone to BASIC training for 10 weeks and I am back to a civilian lifestyle. It was a real learning experience and I made friends there, but the most important thing for me was volunteering to serve the country at a time of its greatest need. I missed my hoops and at least was able to see TEAM USA implementing the dribble drive offense. It was a beautiful to see our country back on top in basketball where it deserves to be. Also, what can be said about Michael Phelps that hasnt already been said? He is the all-time greatest...
