Breaking Down The Double Motion Offense
Posted by bruchu Labels: Motion Offense
Now that the season is over, I'll have a chance to take a look
at a few more interesting setsand ponder what ifs, etc... Basically
random stuff that may or may not interest some of thecasual reader,
but hopefully will be insightful to you coaches out there that are
preparing forOct (can't believe that it's only 3.5 months
away).
Today, we'll take a look at something that I came by a few
months ago but haven't been ableto post until now. This is the
Double Motion Offense from Bill Kuchar who is a high schoolcoach in
New Jersey. In my opinion, it's kind of a hybrid between a flex
motion and ablocker-mover motion. There is a lot of screen,
re-screen, and cross cutting action that mayconfuse some teams, so
therefore I'd recommend you use it if you're already running
someform of flex or blocker-mover. Here is what Coach Kuchar says
about the offense:
I designed this offense [...]. that would give our star scorer
better-percentage shots, whichwould translate into higher scoring
[...]. the offense is predicated on the success of the pointguard,
shooting guard, and small forward - those are generally known to be
the 3 bestshooters on the court.
Setup / Initial Motion:
The initial setup is a 1-2-2, but the wings go wider out from
the elbows and the corners startinside the 3-point line.
Diag 11. O1 is your PG, and starts the offense by passing to
O4.2. At the same time, O2 sets a downscreen for O3.3. O1 sets a
stagger for O3 who curls around the screen and does a basket cut.4.
O4 has 3 options in this initial set, pass to O3 for the 3, O3 for
the basket cut, or O3 whocomes off a baseline screen by O5 for a
corner 3-pointer
Diag 25. If none of those options are available, O1 is already
going to set a downscreen for O2, who
curls around looking for the free-throw line midrange shot from
O4. O1 rolls to the basketand seals his defender for a quick
look-in from O4.6. O5 re-screens along the baseline for O3 who
comes over the top this time and does abasket cut looking for the
pass from O4, then L cuts back up to the opposite elbow.

Final Option to Reset:
Diag 3 and 47. If none of these options are available, O4 passes
to O2 who drifts to the top of the key. O1clears out to avoid the
3-second in the lane call.8. O2 passes to O3 who pivots and faces
the basket, if the drive is possible, then O3 can driveto the
basket, preferably in no more than 1 dribble.9. O5 sets an UCLA
upscreen for O4 and if open O3 passes to O4 on the basket cut.10.
If still no open looks, O3 passes back to O2 and the motion resets
to the 1-2-2- set.
Summary:
Hopefully you see now what I mean by combo of the flex and
blocker-mover. O4 and O5 arebasically your blockers and O1, O2 and
O3 are your movers. It uses the downscreen andbaseline screens
exclusively, just like a flex. It's good because in your
traditional blocker-
mover motion, it's very much random screening and cutting and
guys are bumping into eachother a lot. This double motion offense
has a little more structure, but not so much structurethat it
becomes too predictable.
I don't know any specific teams that run this offense, but the
flex teams out there in men'sdiv1 are Boston College, Gonzaga and
Maryland. The Blocker/Mover teams are Texas Techand Washington St.
If you've seen a team run this, I'd definitely like to hear your
commentsabout it in live action.
There is no specific video for the double motion offense, but
you can combine concepts inDick Bennett's DVD on the Blocker/Mover
Offense and Gary Williams Mastering the Flex toteach this basic
offense. Discuss this and the rest of your favorite basketball
