Attack & React Offense as a Pressure Release by Andrew Grantz
For this post I want to discuss how to use the Attack and React as a pressure release. I spoke with a coach that is using the offense and he said his guards had trouble against pressure. He said once they got the offense moving they were able to destroy defenses but they had trouble starting the action. I have 3 phases of the offense that can be used as a pressure release to start the offense. The first is the dribble at attack. This phase creates backdoor cutters and gets your big in the high post. Having you big in the high post creates a Princeton style look. The second phase I’ve shown is the pick and pop phase. A quick ball screen right across half court can give you point guard just enough space to start the offense with the proper spacing. The third option is the big back screening out of the post. As you can see, you do not need great guard play to run this offense. Install a simple pressure release phase and your offense is of and running. It is very important to remember that once you get past the initial pressure you must continue to attack! Once you score a couple easy baskets the opponent will be forced to back off your guard as he brings the ball up the court.
Check out these three different pressure releases.
