Last One Holding The Chalk...Usually Wins!

(September 2005)

Assortment of plays, drills and ideas to help your program improve.

 

After spending one entire season implementing my best-selling Pass Option Offense, I have had the opportunity to look closely this transition offensive system under the microscope. I have "tweaked" the offense just a bit and have included those updates below. If you are not familiar with my Pass Option Offense, it is a complete offensive system from rebound to made basket that has multiple options with no verbal signals for play calls. All of the options are keyed by the point guard's pass in transition. Difficult to defend and scout.

This month I will show you what we do with our corner entry options in our transition offense. Click on the link below and wait briefly for the pdf file to open. If you are interested in buying the entire 58-page book, you can find it in our coaches store as both a downloadble e-book or in print and mail form.
