ABT's Basketball Quote Of The Month

Many people don't enjoy the challenge of solving problems. They see thinnking as hard work and back away from situations that demand too much of it. On the other hand, intelligent human beings get "turned on" to a good problem." Geoge Selleck

How To Play Without a True Point Guard

How often have you had to play a season without a good point guard? How often have you heard other coaches say their team would be good if they just had a good point guard? There is no question but that it is difficult to field a quality basketball team without a quality point guard-one that can lead the team against good defensive pressure, make good decisions with the ball, have the speed to ignite a team's fast break, put defensive pressure on the opponents point guard, and execute the many other things a good point guard has to do.
What do you do when you are faced with a season without good point guard play? You certainly cannot put a mediocre point guard on the floor and expect him to run your offense and defense like a quality point guard would do. Possibly you have a great offense that you have used for years, but that offense requires a good point guard to "run the show". Then what do you do?

How To Play An Effective 3-2 Zone 

 

3-2 (1-2-2) zones are commonly used to defend teams with good outside shooting and/or weaker post players. You can also use it as a trapping defense.

There are basic rotations and positions of the 3-2 (1-2-2) zone and then there are other options like trapping from them.

Running A Simple Offence Set

 

If you're a youth coach, this offense is continuous and has a very simple motion. Even if you're not a youth coach, I've seen this offense used at the High School Varsity level.


Personnel - You want Players 4 & 5 to be your post players. You want players 1, 2, & 3 to have good ball handling skills. All your players will cover every spot on the floor after a few rotations.
