Here is a multipurpose zone offense that coaches can use not only to attack traditional zone defenses but match-ups as well. The cutting action and dribble drag actions create difficult decisions from even the best match-up zones. The offense also creates tremendous hi-low scoring opportunities as well.
One of the first things that coaches need to realize is that match-up zone defense has three weaknesses. They don’t handle cutters very well, because you are playing part man defense, but in a space. Cutters will cause confusion on the defense and player movement against a zone defense is very important.
The second problem is that matchup zones don’t deal well with skip passes. The defense is desgined to guard one side of the floor and not all of the floor. Consecutive skip passes are rare in zone offense so they can control just about anything one pass away.
The third thing that match-up zones will struggle with is help-side rebounding. All the defense is on one side of the floor once the ball is below the free throw line. The offense has a great position advantage against the defense.
I think that you will love the “Cutter’s Offense” versus match-up zone defense. You need to take a look at anything that can help your team make basketball plays. You will love the basketball coaching material that Coach Hamilton has provided you today. I hope that you enjoy this basketball offense.
