    Developing an Offensive Philosophy


    Head Coach-Alabama
    3/27/20

    How is your offensive philosophy formed? Does it change year after year?
     As a high school coach, you get to experiment more.
     College level: Not going to come in and turn kids into robots. I
     Ideally want 5 guys that can pass, dribble, and shoot
     If you are going to spend all of this time developing players, you have to let them play
     You are worse off over-coaching great players than you are under-coaching them
     We are going to give guys tons of freedom and confidence
     Spacing is very important
     Teach them what a good shot is, play fast, but still get good shot
     Open the floor up: Driving gaps, paint touches-chart paint touches
     It does adjust year to year

    How do you get space on the floor in your offense? What techniques do you use?
    Order of shots that we want on Offense:
    1. Free Throws
    2. At the Rim 2s
    3. Kick Out 3s
     We are trying to get at the rim 2s. the hardest thing to guard is a

    What Offensive alignment is best for spacing?


     The most space you can get on the perimeter is from 3- out 2-in, but when you have 2
    guys in, it takes away driving space.
     He prefers the 4-out alignment

    Keys for their Offense:


     Teach players how to attack closeouts
     When you get the ball, you have .5 seconds to make a play
     Shooting
     Driving closeout
     Throwing one more pass to play 2 on 1 or 3 on 2
     Players play with a ton of freedom, but we give them structure
     Had a rule where players couldn’t shoot unless they had 2 kicks-unless you were a really
    good shooter

    5-OUT look and spacing allows for a lot of drag screens to create
    How do you get guys to understand your concepts? Are there rules?
    Offensive reads for any baseline drive:
     2 tries to score at the rim first
     5 “makes a t” and is ready to catch and finish at the rim if x5 helps on baseline drive
     If 5 is taken away by x3 rotating in help, next read is the corner drift
     This creates a 2-on 1 on the other side. Once the 3 catches in the corner, he has .5
    seconds to make a play

    Offensive reads for any baseline drive continued…


    Does your offense change when you see zone?
     The only difference when we see zone is how the player gets their initial closeout.
     Other than that, all of the reads are the same.

    Q&A
    Does playing with pace help your offense?
     If we get guys one-on-one, we must have guys that can win those battles
     In 2019/2020 they were 0.8 pts per possession
     Pace comes early trying to get paint touches

    Out of 4 out 1 in look, are players hugging the corners or are they lifted up some?
     We tape boxes on the floor to practice our spacing (see diagram below)
     We want players as deep as they can possibly be.
     Players have to be aware of where they are since they are closer to out-of-bounds lines.

    Do you follow your pass or pass and go opposite?


     We use more loop cuts (see diagram below)

    Is there one skill development drill you do every day?


     You have to do advantage drills with different scenarios where players have to make
    reads.
     Learn how to break the defense down

    Do you teach players on a baseline drift to jump out of bounds?


     They drill this-They teach and practice jumping off of one foot
     Baseline Drift: If you can in the corner, always drive middle because passer is coming to
    replace you and take your spot.

    Terminology:
     Slot Skip
     Loops
     Kick downs
     Lift

    *If 1 drives baseline side, 3 man in the corner has to lift
