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.

Bob Huggins 5 Out Motion Offense Drills

I think that you will love Coach Kirkpatrick’s blog posts on the 5 out motion offense drills that are used by Bob Huggins at West Virginia University. Here is a drill they use to incorporate the screens we use in the offense into our daily shooting drills.

We all know that finding motion offense drills is not that easy. Everyone shares the plays with which he/she implements the motion offense, but there is a lack of drills to teach it to your players. I strongly believe that this or other types of basketball motion offense MUST be the first thing that we teach to young players. Motion and good screening is the basis of basketball, and the players who know how to implement them know the fundamentals. And this should be our definite target when we work with young kids. Showing them the basics, so that they have what they need to play good basketball in the future. Motion offense –no matter how you implement it, if it’s a 5 out motion offense, or a 4 out 1 in, or whatever else– contains all the information a youngster needs to learn good basketball.

Finding the basketball drills that will help you implement any type of the motion offense is pure gold. That’s what makes coach Kirkpatrick’s contribution so important. Be sure to check this great set of 5 out motion offense drills and keep place in your personal drillbook, because here you will find some really awesome stuff.

I am proud to announce another new “Men’s Basketball HoopScoop” contributor. His name is Brandon Kirkpatrick who is an assistant coach for the Kelly Knights. His expertise is in Bob Huggin’s 5 Out Motion Offense.
