Recently I had a talk with a European coach. He asked me for a good, reliable, innovative offense from the college level. He insisted that a good offense should be based on “reading” screens. He also said that he was looking for an offense that would take advantage of the opponent’s defensive strategy. I suggested him the Virginia Cavaliers Tony Bennett Blocker Mover Offense.

Tony Bennett Blocker Mover Offense

Coach Tony Bennett is the son of the legendary coach, Dick Bennett. He’s now the head coach of the Virginia Cavaliers. His offense relies on reading the opponents’ defensive weaknesses. Through constant moving, sophisticated ball screens, and well designed passes he aims to produce some good, free shots for his best scorers. He also aims at increasing unbalance in the rival defense. This is not so easy to accomplish. You need a disciplined team and some great guards, as well as some focused forwards to apply this defense. However, your player need not to be athletic to implement it. All they have to do is be willing to learn how to utilize this offense and follow your instructions.

Isn’t this great? We all know that most youth teams can have tall Centers, or athletic forwards. The same happens with many professional teams in Europe. Nevertheless, you need players who can be dedicated to your plan to succeed with the Blocker Mover Offense.
