Andrew Grantz \u2013 Attack and React Motion Offense Notes<\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Andrew Grantz has combined the principles of several other popular offenses into his own \u201cAttack and React\u201d system. The 4-Out 1-In offense is taught in 18 phases, allowing coaches to utilize it as a \u201cprogram offense\u201d and to choose the phases that best fit his or her team. One of its benefits is that it can be used year after year while still being adapted to a team\u2019s current personnel.<\/p>\n

Post Options:
\n1. Follow the ball
\n2. Stay opposite the ball
\n3. Stay on the left block
\n4. Stay on the right block<\/p>\n

Post player must always get opposite the ball on a drive.<\/p>\n

Phase 1 (Dribble Attack):
\n\u2022 All drives must be downhill.
\n\u2022 Drives should get below the drive line (the first marker below the free throw line).
\n\u2022 When the ball is driven below the drive line, both corner players must lift to the drive line.
\n\u2022 On a drive and kick, the passer fills to the corner he drove.<\/p>\n

Phase 2 (Pass and Cut Attack):
\n\u2022 Basket cut after every pass.
\n\u2022 Cutting provides bigger driving gaps (combines with Phase 1).
\n\u2022 Cut with your head under the rim and fill out away from where you passed.
\n\u2022 Try to face cut the defender. If he jumps to the ball, cut behind his head.
\n\u2022 Off the ball, if the defender is in the line between you and the ball, automatically backcut.
\n\u2022 Do not fill to the next spot until the cutter gets below the drive line. This sets up later phases. Fill cut in straight lines (blast your cuts).<\/p>\n

Phase 3 (Post Entry Attack):
\n\u2022 When the ball is entered into the post, Laker Cut high or low (he prefers high).
\n\u2022 High Laker Cut: Cut to the elbow and dive to the opposite block; when the cutter gets below the drive line, others fill over.<\/p>\n

\"attack<\/p>\n

\u2022 Low Laker Cut: Cut to the short corner and dive to the opposite block.<\/p>\n

\"attack<\/p>\n

Phase 4 (Baseline Attack):
\n\u2022 On a baseline drive, the post gets to the front of the rim and shows his hands.
\n\u2022 The opposite corner drops to create a passing angle.
\n\u2022 The opposite top player finds an \u201copen window.\u201d
\n\u2022 The other top player gets behind the ball as a pressure release.<\/p>\n

\"attack<\/p>\n

Phase 5 (Dribble Attack Counter):
\n\u2022 If the driver can\u2019t get below the drive line, the closest player to the drive has a read. He may hold his position to receive a pass, or he may backcut. On a backcut, the post player ducks in.<\/p>\n

Phase 6 (Reverse Dribble Attack):
\n\u2022 This phase is signaled by a ballhandler taking two reverse dribbles.
\n\u2022 This signals the other top player to make a \u201cC cut\u201d by touching the drive line and cutting where the ballhandler is.
\n\u2022 This action creates a bigger gap for the ballhandler to drive off the cutter\u2019s back.
\n\u2022 If nothing is there, the top players just switch places.
\nPhase 7 (Dribble At Attack):
\n\u2022 The ballhandler can dribble at any player. Do not go inside the 3-point line.
\n\u2022 A \u201cdribble at\u201d signals an automatic backcut.
\n\u2022 The post can get to the front of the rim or flash to the ball side elbow.<\/p>\n

Phase 8 (Handoff Attack):
\n\u2022 The only difference between Phase 8 and Phase 7 is that now the ballhandler dribbles inside the 3-point line (but above the drive line).
\n\u2022 Drive into the next player\u2019s defender for a dribble handoff.<\/p>\n

Phase 9 (Ballscreen Attack):
\n\u2022 This phase is signaled by the ballhandler holding the ball between his legs. This tells the post player to set a ballscreen.
\n\u2022 This can be run from the top or from a wing.
\n\u2022 The post player sets a flat ballscreen and rolls opposite of the ballhandler.
\n\u2022 On a side ballscreen, the screener has his rear end facing the elbow.<\/p>\n

\"attack<\/p>\n

Phase 10 (Flare Screen Attack):
\n\u2022 This phase can be run on a top to top pass.
\n\u2022 The passer begins to cut, but stops inside the drive line. This tells the corner player to set a flare screen. This is why the corner player must wait to fill cut.<\/p>\n

Phase 11 (Shuffle Attack):
\n\u2022 This phase can be run on a top to wing pass.
\n\u2022 Pass to the wing and stop short of the drive line. Turn around to set a shuffle screen for the other top player.
\n\u2022 This action works best if screener is a shooter. The cutter can read the defense to either curl or pop.<\/p>\n

Phase 12 (Pick and Pop Attack):
\n\u2022 Perimeter players can pass and follow their pass into a pick and pop.
\n\u2022 This can be done from any spot on the floor.<\/p>\n

Phase 13 (Roll Replace Attack):
\n\u2022 This is similar to the Pick and Pop phase, but now the screener rolls to the basket.
\n\u2022 When the post player sees that a ballscreen is being set, he gets his head under the rim. This allows him to replace the roller.<\/p>\n

Phase 14 (Advanced Post Entry):
\n\u2022 Rather than running a Laker Cut, post passers have the option of screening away for the closest teammate. After screening, dive to the opposite block.<\/p>\n

\"attack<\/p>\n

Phase 15 (Cutters Becoming Screeners):
\n\u2022 After a player cuts, he has the option of screening for a teammate. Players can screen for other perimeter players or for the post player.<\/p>\n

Phase 16 (Post Player Screening):
\n\u2022 As perimeter players cut through the lane, the post can screen their defenders and duck in as his defender helps.<\/p>\n

Phase 17 (Screening In For Cutters):
\n\u2022 After a perimeter player passes and cuts, the player filling over can screen in for the cutter.<\/p>\n

\"attack<\/p>\n

\"attack<\/p>\n

Phase 18 (Post Screening Onto Perimeter):
\n\u2022 At any time, the post player can screen any perimeter player into the post.
\n\u2022 The new post player can stay there for the remainder of the possession, or he can screen for another player.<\/p>\n
