Basketball Offense | Jim Christian Leopard Continuity Zone Offense

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

Today’s basketball offense is on Jim Christian and his Leopard Continuity Zone Offense.

These basketball notes are on the Leopard Continuity Zone Offense that Jim Christian used at Kent State and TCU. Coach Jim Christian is currently the Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Ohio University. The offense was designed to play against Jim Boeheim’s Syracuse 2-3 Match-up zone. It allows your best players to get into the middle of the zone.

Jim Christian while at Kent State University designed this offense. He is currently the coach at Texas Christian University. The offense was created when he had to play Syracuse and he designed it to allow his best players to attack the middle of the zone. The 1,2,3,and 4 can attack while the 5 has the license to roam the post areas and the short corners. The 5 does not come out of the paint area.
