Don’t think that what Memphis ran last night was "Dribble Drive Motion"

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.

Coaches,

I don’t want you thinking that what Memphis ran last night was “Dribble Drive Motion” offense. I was shocked after I was watching it. I was shocked that they were running it the way that they have been. I am not sure what is going on. Is Coach Calipari trying to distance himself from it? I didn’t hear the announcers mention it at all last night. Especially after the SI article last week.

Dribble Drive Motion is used to space out people without screens. It is used to attack the rim or kick it out for a three. The pentration gaps are huge if you run it right. It has to be run with “Shooters”. It is a guard heavy offense where you have to be able to make free throws, layups and 3’s.

Since you have all the pentration, you get to the free throw line so much. Maybe that is why Memphis didn’t run it that much last night. Just my thoughts.

Coach Peterman
