2 PART 1 Hi, I'm Dave Weber, head basketball coach at Glenbrook North High School. Today we're going to share some of the concepts that we use on our motion offense, take you through some drills, and take you through some of our competitive games that we do to run our motion. I want to thank the ABCA for having me here today. I'm really honored to be here. It's a great privilege. I've brought some of my players here and then we've got some of the Lincoln-Way players that are going to help out. I was all excited about coming here and they even told me, "You can have a practice beforehand," and I thought, "That's pretty nice. You can have a practice in September." And I found out that four out of my five starters are on a college visit. And I thought, "Oh, that ruins the whole clinic." But then I sat down and I thought, "You know what? That's good. That means we have good basketball players. They're all out visiting colleges." So what I did is I brought one sophomore, three juniors, and one of our seniors to demonstrate today. So we have a lot of guys coming back in our program and we feel pretty comfortable with it. We have been very lucky, I will say that, with the talent that we have. And I'm going to talk a little bit later about our motion offense, some of the things that we do. If you have any questions, feel free to raise your hand and just stop me, and I'll try to answer it and try to help you out with some of the things that we do. For me and for our program, it was an unbelievable year. Something that I never thought was going to happen to us. By winning the state championship. And I think most of you know my brother's the head coach at Illinois, and with his success and everything that happened with our family last year, it was just a lot of highs and a lot of lows. And the one thing that I learned through it, and it's really helped in coaching, is after a loss, never get too frustrated. After a big win, don't get too excited about it. I used to do that when I was a younger coach. We'd lose a game, I'd sit there, like, for an hour with my players in the locker room and I'd be yelling at them and screaming at them. And I'd look at them, they'd get back on the bus and they'd just be goofing around. They'd be having fun. It didn't faze them. So I learned that. After a loss now fortunately, for us we only lost twice last year. But I try to talk to our team later. We try to maybe just say, "Hey, we're going to evaluate the tape and then we'll talk tomorrow. We'll talk about the loss and what we need to do." And you know what? It's really worked for us. The kids respond a lot better if you're pretty straight and you tell them exactly what you expect after you lose a game. And if you win a big game, and they're in the locker room and they're jumping around, you need to tell them to calm down because you have another game to play. It's a very long season. And this last year really taught me that. I learned a lot. That you need to be no matter how great that win or how tough that loss is, you need to really keep a balance there and just enjoy every part of it. 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 2 of 18

3 I've learned a lot from different coaches. And I'm going to be honest here. This stuff that we run, I didn't come up with. I keep taking things from different coaches around the Chicagoland area. I coached in college for 11 years; I picked up a lot of things. Rick Samuels was the head coach at Eastern Illinois that I worked under. He was great to work for. And then my brother, obviously, we take a lot of stuff that Illinois does and we do it in a different way because we don't have their talent. But we try to I'll be honest. We steal things from everyone. We're taking plays here and plays there. We even name them after that school. So we have Schaumburg, Barrington. We have the play called Vanderbilt. That way I can remember the play. So none of this is really things that I've made up. And what I want to do today is just share some ideas with you and get you kind of thinking about the things that we did. I get a lot of questions. I get a lot of phone calls, s, things like that, "How did you run that offense in the state tournament?" Because that's where everyone kind of saw us. "What do you do to get to that point?" So what I'll do today is I'll try to break it down into different sections. And you know what? You probably in October here, you can't put a lot of this stuff in. I understand that. But maybe one or two things could help you in what you run in your motion offense. We take offense and it's our mental approach to it. I want these guys to have fun when they play offense. So we went to this motion offense. And along with that we have a lot of set plays that everyone thinks it's motion, but really I'm calling out set plays from the bench. We have colors and names and all these different things. I have really smart players and I'm not saying that because they're here. But their ACT scores are really high. They can pick things up so quickly. A lot of times they tell me what the play is or what the set is. We walked out here this morning and they went through it. Some of these guys have never run this stuff but they pick it up very quickly. I don't know that everyone can run. We have probably man-to-man set plays along with our motion. So we have a lot of different things that we do. I'm not sure that's good for everyone. And playing in the state tournament, most the teams we played it was just dribble penetration. Everyone is just really into that dribble penetration. We're totally the opposite. We'll penetrate, but we want to work on our passing before we penetrate. Our team, again, we want them to enjoy. It's our mental approach to the game. We want them to have fun. I have five things that I talk about offensively and this goes along with our whole program. The first thing is our discipline. At practice, they need to be very disciplined. When they come out onto our court, they do not have an opportunity to play around and goof around. I go to a lot of practices and I see what happens. There's no free time at our practice. The minute they hit the court, they have something they need to do. They're very disciplined. And they're that way academically also. 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 3 of 18

4 The second thing is organization. We as a coaching staff are very organized at our practices. They're not very long, but they're very organized. And my assistant coaches do a great job of helping me out with that. The third thing is every day and everything we do, we have to motivate them. I feel like if I can set them up offensively and I can motivate them where they're going to come out to practice and they're going to have fun. I don't want them to come to practice and leave practice and just hate every part of it. There's got to be some enjoyment in there. And that's our job as coaches, to motivate the kids. The fourth thing, and probably the thing we do the best, is what I say, understand. We understand each other's roles in our offense. And when you see us play, we know. Zack here started for us last year. We know that when it gets tough, we have a player by the name of John Shire, he's going to get the ball. And everyone on our team is going to screen for him. We go into the huddle. We go, "When you're in doubt, get the ball to John and screen for him." And it usually works. He usually does something good. It's hard to get kids to do that. And I always look at, I know mom and dad are up here yelling at them, "Shoot the ball!" And they're passing it and screening and running around. But we got them to understand it. And it was good for us. That doesn't always happen. That's a tough thing to do. And the last thing these guys are great at this. They listen very well. Listening is a skill none of us do very well. I don't, and these guys do. For some reason, I stand them on the sideline and we'll go through a set, they pick it up very quickly. So try to talk to your players about that a little bit. That they need to listen and really pick up everything that you're telling them. Figure 1.1 'Dribble Handoff' I'm going to show some things here and I'm going to say this. Again, we have great players in our program. It's unbelievable the talent that we have. So I think anything that we do, I'm not sure that it's going to work for other programs or other people. You just don't know. When we run our backdoor cuts, and everybody asks, "How do you do those backdoor cuts? Why are you always so open?" Well, we're open because everyone denies Shire so hard that when he cuts backdoor, he's going to get a lay-up. Because he's going to jump up in the air and he's going to twist, he's going to turn, and he's going to find a way to finish at the basket. Then, one team last year in the super-sectional, they decided, "We don't want to deny him because he's going to get all those backdoor lay-ups." He hit seven 3s in a row in that game. And now we just entered it to him at the wing. So we have that luxury. And we know that we're going to run our backdoor cuts and we're going to get it to him and he's going to get a good look at it. 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 4 of 18

5 PART 2 We try to take the game, and I don't know if anybody else does this. Here's what we do. We divide it into eight different sections. We have our man offense, our inline out-ofbounds plays, our zone offense, our press offense, our sideline out-of-bounds plays, we have our last-second plays. That's six of them. And then we have two more that we feel like we have to have. We have a box-in-1 offense and we have a triangle-in-2 offense. We see a lot of teams play box-in-1 against us. We've got about five different plays that we can run for our box-in-1 and our triangle-in-2. The biggest part of our manto-man offense is our motion. And I gave a handout, I don't know if you got that green sheet there, but our motion offense and I'm going to have these guys kind of go through a couple things here. Can you get to the wing there. Go dribble hand-off first, okay? Zack, take the ball at the wing. The other guys get in the line there. In our motion, we would run motion the old traditional pass, screen away, and all that stuff. And we would throw the ball away a lot. And Figure 2.1 'Screen and Roll' I'm like, "Why have Zack pass it to Chris here and allow the defense to come in here and steal the pass?" Illinois does it a lot. We started using the dribble hand-offs. And it's really good for us in that I know that the ball's going to get to another green shirt instead of allowing that team to steal the pass. So to just dribble it to him you don't have to shoot it, Chris. We're coming here for a hand-off. Now we don't I don't want these guy to know this we don't get many shots out of this. I'll be honest. But it really keeps our offense moving. The shot that we do get go ahead and go back at it. The guy that's going to get the shot is Zack because he's handing it off go ahead. He's handing it off and his man usually jumps out there and hedges. And then he can pop that and come back and look to get a shot. The second thing we do is a screen roll. It's a big part of Figure 3.1 'Slip Screen' our motion offense. The ball will start here. Zack will come and set the screen on the ball. Chris will take it off him. He'll roll to the basket. Now on this side of the court, we have good action going on. We're screening and I call it fake offense. These guys are over here setting screens. He's coming off a single-single. They're running screen roll over there. And they're not doing anything. They're just faking the defense out. And we do a lot of that. And that's why we're open on that side. The other thing we work hard at is that screen and slip. So Zack's going to come at Chris like he's setting that ball screen and then he's going to slip it right to the basket and try to get the lay-up. 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 5 of 18

6 The third thing we try to get out of this is just a screen and a pop. So set the ball screen. And then he's going to pop back. And Zack is lucky because everyone tries to guard Shire so hard and he gets a lot of open looks on that play right there. The next thing we work at is our backdoor cuts. Start down at the block. You three guys start down at the block there. On our backdoor cuts, we have three different signals that we use. And I think this is why we get it. If we stick our hand out, that's one of our signals. Figure 4.1 'Screen and Pop' If I stick my hand out, I am telling my passer that I'm going backdoor. Go ahead. He sticks his hand out. Chris knows he's going backdoor. The second one is the fist. If we put the fist out, we're going backdoor. All right, go ahead. Jeff can go next, okay? And then the third thing is if we hit our leg, we know we're going backdoor. Now we change that all the time. And again, they're really smart. One week we'll go, "Stick your hand out." The next week, fist. So no one really understands when we're going backdoor and when we're going to just catch the ball there. All right, just pop out, hit your leg. He pats his leg, he comes, and he goes backdoor. And we work hard at that. I'm going to show a couple of drills that we do at the end here. The fourth thing we'll do is, and we really try to emphasize this in our motion, is what we call screen the passer. If Chris you guys go to the wing now, okay? Chris is the passer and he passes the ball to the wing. Brian's going to come in and screen for Chris. Chris is going to flare, Brian is going to pop out to the top here looking for a jump shot. Okay, go ahead, and Zack do that also. Chris and Brian go to the spot. We really work on screening the passer and popping. And when we get to our motion, hopefully when we demonstrate, you can kind of see that every time the ball is passed, we want to screen for that passer. What does that give you? That gives you a lot of Figure 5.1 'Screen the Passer backscreens. If the ball's at the wing here and there's a guy at the block and I pass it, we're going to get a backscreen. So we continually tell them, "Screen for the passer." We will do a lot of no dribble stuff in our motion. I think a lot of people do that. It's nothing really new, but we get to a drill, you can't dribble. And they hate it. They're fumbling all over the place, but it makes them screen. 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 6 of 18

7 The other thing, we'll try to limit the dribbles. We talk about you cannot dribble unless you're improving your angle. You cannot dribble unless you're doing a dribble hand-off or a screen roll. I'm going to try to go through some drills right now. Hopefully these guys can do it. Our first one's called v-cut shooting. It's a full court drill. I like this drill because we get to warm up and we get to run a lot and it's good for our motion. You don't have to throw it off the backboard. We're going Figure 6.1 'V-Cut Shooting' to v-cut. We have a line here, a line over here. You guys are going to get a lay-up. Zack, come on over here and you go behind there. We tell them, "Take three steps into your v-cut." We want them to take three steps, they're going to come back and receive the pass. He's going to take his three steps. He's going to receive that pass. You always follow your pass and go to that next line. Zack's going to make the lay-up and then he's going to run the ball down to the other end here. Okay? You guys with me on that? Pretty simple, but a good drill and it gets them active. Go ahead and start down here. And it keeps them moving. Why don't you go in that line over there. No outlet. No outlet. Okay, go ahead. Just start it. Okay, go ahead. You're finishing with a lay-up there, okay? Keep going now. Follow your pass. V-cut into it. Keep going. I've got a couple things I'm going to show these guys. Move your line down a little bit. Okay, hold up. Now, we'll do this again real quickly. At the end of this, we want a lay-up off a bounce pass. So when this guy's coming and v-cutting, we want to get that lay-up there off that bounce pass. Now, what we do, and it's at times when they don't have their hands up, we have them clap before they receive the ball. It just keeps them and keeps their hands up. Then, this is a good drill. You keep your whole team going. You take the ball out of the net. We'll have an outlet guy there. He'll outlet it and then we'll run the ball back down to the other end. We don't have enough guys right now. All right, let's go through it. Everyone clap as you come to meet your pass. Go ahead. Bounce pass, lay-up. Right here. Get it and go. Get it and go. Good. Got to be a good pass at the end there. Okay, hold up. Now, when we practice, everything we try to do we try to make it competitive. So we have a green team and a gold team. And we'll do this drill, we'll give them one minute and they have to make 12 jump shots in one minute. This guy at the end now, he's going to v-cut this way and he's coming in here to catch and he's shooting a jump shot. 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 7 of 18

8 And in one minute, I want them to make 12 baskets. Which you guys probably won't do here right now because you don't have enough guys. Okay, go ahead. Jump shots. If they start missing them right away, they're never going to accomplish this. Good. Okay, that's good. So in one minute, they have to make 12 baskets. PART 3 The next drill, and we like to run our motion, we call it transition to motion. A lot of people say, "Do you run a secondary break? Do you put them in specific spots?" We really don't. But we want to run as fast as we can. We want to get three baskets every game off fast break lay-ups. So we put this drill in. Again here you go these guys hate this drill, but it's a good drill for them. You guys can just slide off to the side. They want to make four baskets in 24 seconds. The ball cannot hit the ground. In this drill, we tell them the two runs the right side, the three runs the left side, the four man inbounds it, the five goes to the block. We're going to get an outlet. We're going to throw it down court. They're going four trips. They have 24 seconds. If they don't get it, they run a sprint on this. See if these guys can do this here. Here we go. Ball can never hit the ground. The four man has to get it right out of the net and get it back down. Come on, Jeff. Come on, Jeff. One more. Keep going. Keep going. Good job. Don't let it hit the ground here. Good. Here we go. And that's the start of our motion now. We're running the floor. Our big guys are getting down there and then they're screening. Okay, are we ready to do it again? This time the two's going to hit the jump shot at the wing. And now it gets tougher because if he misses it, they've got to try to get the ball don't kill each other, okay? They've got to try to get the ball before it hits the ground. All right, here we go. He's got that jump shot there. Jeff's got to get down there and get it. Ohh. Go, go, let's go. Now they'd have to do it again because he keeps letting that ball hit the ground there. Come on, Jeff. Zack, you want to switch positions with him? No? Did you make all three? Good. So then we do that with jump shot. And that's the beginning of our motion. Those two drills we do all the time. And, again, it's competitive; they're competing against the clock, they're competing trying to get a 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 8 of 18

9 score. And they don't like it, but they know it's good for them. And again, we want to get three baskets every game on those fast break lay-ups. We want our players to play really low. And we do a lot of drills to keep them low so that in our motion they can catch and shoot it. And I learned one thing. Now when we cut through the lane, what do you do? Defensively. What do you tell your players? Everyone's hitting guys, they're throwing the elbow, they're keeping them from running their cuts. So we talk to our guys about cutting low. I had a guy that was 6' 6" a couple of years ago, he was a great player. But he played straight up and down. He'd get in that lane and they'd just bounce him right out of there. So now we work on just, not only coming to catch it, but every cut you make, we want them to cut real low. Just come right here. So what we do and, coach, I don't think we can do this here we put two poles up here. We put a piece of tape. So it's about this high. They've got to come under it, catch the pass, and jump up and shoot it. Now they did this the other day so they should be able to do it. They're going to throw you a pass, you give it right back to them, okay? Go ahead. He's got to stay as low as he can. Come up and shoot it. That kid can really shoot, by the way. He's a junior. He's going to be a good player. Stay low. They want to stay under the poles. We have two poles. And what I do, I take volleyball poles that are sitting in the corner of our gym. I take tape and I put it under there. All right, put it there. And they come under it for their shot. The poles will be located there's one right here, there's one right here. I just take tape and I make the line there. If they're not low, they end up breaking the tape. And then I just re-tape it. And it's a good drill because they're staying low. The next drill we do is what we call the Allen Iverson drill. And they don't like this because it hurts. They're going to start on the baseline. Iverson dribbles the ball really low not that we want to copy the way he plays, but they're going to have to touch the ground. And they're going to come in the lane and shoot the ball. He won't pass it to you this time. Okay, go ahead, Chris. They're staying low. They've got to keep their hand on the ground and then it forces them to explode up. Get all the way in the lane. Try to get in the paint. Zack, here, loves this drill. Then they can go from the other side. We call that our Iverson. Go ahead, Chris, one more time. And then along with that, real quickly who can do the two-ball the best? Roland and give him two basketballs. Again, we want him to stay real low. So when they do their ball handling drills and we start practice out, they're going to roll one ball and dribble the other ball to half court. All right, Zack, go ahead. See if he can do this. Again, it's making him stay low and stand to a basketball position. Now switch going the other way. He's a pretty good ball handler. He can do this pretty well. Maybe not. Then we also make him take a tennis ball and dribble it and flip that tennis ball up in the 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 9 of 18

10 air. That's pretty hard. Now, here's why we do this. We run motion and I want all five guys to be able to handle the ball. And most teams that we play, we always find one or two guys that can't dribble. And that's the guy that we always trap. We trap a lot defensively. So we work really hard at the beginning of practice. Zack Kelly here, #33, he's a pretty good ball handler. He can run. He's 6' 6". He can come out on the floor, he can handle the ball. Since he was about in third grade he's been doing these dribbling drills. And now he's a senior in high school and he can run our motion offense. He can run it, he can handle it, and he can cut. And the next thing we do, we call it our chair drill. Pass it to coach. This is the screener. He has to touch the chair curl first, yeah. Curl to the basket. Go ahead, Brian, curl. We want him to call out the curl. Go ahead. Figure 7.1 'Chair Drill' Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Keep going. We use the chair when we want to shoot a lot. I like Jeff here because he's loud. He's telling the passer that he's going to run a curl cut. Now we're going to take the chair and he's going to do a flare cut. So the defense, we tell them if the defense comes up this way, touch the chair and flare to the wing. And I think everybody pretty much reads screens like that. So just run it and flare. Good. Simple drills. Go ahead. But we do them every day. And to me, this is why we can run our motion the way we do. Because these guys are pretty well drilled and schooled at it. A couple more. Good passes now. Go ahead, Jeff. We are going dribble hand-off. And again, this relieves a lot of pressure if you can just hand it to your teammate. Go ahead. And then Zack's getting his jump shot. Keep going, Brian. Oh, get coach a ball. Good. Get the ball right back out to coach. Go ahead, Jeff. Same drill that we can do, and we'll do it with screen and roll. We'll do the same drill and we'll do screen roll. Okay, hold up now. Chris is going to make the pass here. We're going to screen for the passer. You're giving it to him. And I'm giving it to him for a jump shot here. Go ahead and run through that real quickly. Go ahead. Pass it to coach. We want to work on screening the passer. We're getting a jump shot right there. The next thing we like to do, and we like to do this in our zone offense and our man-to-man offense, is misdirection to backdoors. And this is where people see us and this is where 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 10 of 18

11 we get a lot of our backdoor lay-ups. Because we're going to go misdirection you two guys are down on the block now. Here, Chris. And Zack's pretty good at this. He's got to be like an actor out here. I tell these guys, "You've got to act like you're coming to the top and the action's coming this way. And then you're going to reverse pivot and throw it for the backdoor lay-up." All right, go ahead. Run it out. Good. Keep going. Keep going. A couple times. See, Brian came too low. We've got to spread the floor out. Get out to this red line. Give him that space there. Go ahead. We use this misdirection a lot on our backdoor plays. Go ahead. And we try to get layups out of that. We will also work just our straight backdoor. Then we're going to go to what we call our step-off series. Zack, do you remember this? Can you take it first? He's going to pass it to coach. Go ahead. Here's our backdoor too. He's coming into the middle here. Remember we said show your hand? He's going to show his hand. He's going to cut here for a backdoor lay-up. Go ahead. You guys go through it a couple times. We call it step-off and then he's going to cut to the basket for the lay-up. Go ahead, Brian. Get it out to Jeff. Come out higher. Come in at the free throw line and back out. Go ahead. A simple little drill but, again, we're getting our backdoor cuts. This time, catch it, rip it through, and drive to the basket. Yes. Go ahead. We want him to be able to catch it and rip it through and get to the basket for a lay-up there. And then the third thing we do out of this is catch it Zack, you can do this lift fake and then shoot a jump shot. Go ahead. One more, Chris. PART 4 The last thing, and this is probably the thing we do the best out of all. Chris, go in that corner. Zack, take the ball right here. We work hard at penetrating and kicking. I don't know how this happened, but we love to shoot the ball from the corner. Because no one can defend those corners. I don t know why. I haven't figured it out yet. It's a straight angle to the basket. And if you watch us play, we just shoot a lot of corner 3s. We work on just penetrating into this gap and kicking it here for the 3. Now, Zack, come on out here. And you know what? You can just have two lines and you can run through that. The other thing we work at is misdirection. Give it to he's going to drive it into that left side. He's going to spin dribble and he's going to bring it into this gap. He's going to beat this guy. And what happens is the guy guarding him, of course, he's coming in here, he's going to help out, and we're going to throw it right there. And then if they start changing and reading it, we have a lot of options out of that little play there. And 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 11 of 18

12 that's been a great play for us. And I hope we can keep getting it because as I look around here, there's not a lot of guys from the North Shore here. So, hopefully, no one will know that they're going to defend that. I think Coach Williams here is the only that's really stopped us a couple years on getting that shot off. And he knows how to guard that. The next thing we do in our motion, I take these here's our motion offense. Put it out at that gray line there. What I do is I take the tape and I put it on the court. But today I'm going to use these spots. So we have x's all over our courts. If you've ever been to Illinois' practice, they have all these boxes out there. They have boxes, they have circles, and I still can't figure out what they all mean. So I said, "I'm going to simplify it. I'm going to give them five choices as to where they need to be on the floor." Brian? Get to a circle. Here's how we're going to start out. If we're just coming down court I want them all spread out and we want to run what we just call our open motion. That we can get all those options that we just went through, we can run it out of this. Pass it to the wing. Screen the passer. Here, he's going to flare. Now, we tell our guys to be patients in those corners. Don't just run around just to move around. Be patient because eventually you're going to get a shot. Now we can downscreen here. And he could run a curl cut. We can do any of the things that we worked on. One rule we have though. When he runs a cut in the lane, we tell him, "Get back to an x." Again, we have those x's on the court. Get back out. So if he runs the cut go ahead, Jack, just cut through. Now he's going to turn, he's got nothing there. Chris would probably come up here. We want to get Zack out of there. Pass it to the wing. He might run a basket cut and post up for a second. Screen here away. He looks for that action. If he doesn't get it, he's got to turn and find the next spot. That's how we teach it. By just giving them specific spots that they have to be on on the floor. Now we'll do a lot of drills and Lincoln-Way we've got four guys still, right? We can actually do it 4-on-4. And actually I'm going to kind of throw in a couple of sets here. I really don't want to do this, but I will because a lot of people ask me how we do these things. So you take the ball right here. We'll show you one quick set. Take the block, yeah. Do you know what you're doing? We like to spread out really far. Again. And this is a little quick set that we run. Again, it's fake offense. I call this play out when we're not going very well and 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 12 of 18

13 the ball's kind of flying all over the place, we're a little bit tired, and I want us to really focus on being in specific spots. We're going to start with the entry out here. He's going to run a backdoor cut to the opposite corner. Hold on, Brian. Come here. He's going to cut here and show his hand and run a backdoor cut to that corner. Jeff is coming out to replace him. We go entry here. Downscreen. And we've got a little guy screening for our big guy. So 90% of the time we're going to make this pass. We enter it here. Now from here again we're really not looking to score yet. We'll run a fake dribble hand-off. He's going to dribble, he's going to fake it to him. And now we've got a single-single. Again, we want to have action on this side of the court. What can we do over here now? What would be one thing we can do over on that side? It's open for a backdoor cut, right? It's open for a dribble hand-off. And if this is, for us, if this is Shire coming here, Zack's going to get himself a lay-up. It's open for a screen roll. Let's run through it, okay? Go ahead. Cut hard at it. Been very good for us because everyone's moving. They're running all over the place. No one knows what we're doing. And then we get that kind of action at the end of it. Let's run it and just run the backdoor on that. Okay, here we go. Okay, one more time. Just run a dribble hand-off off it. Any questions? They're not going too fast, I hope. They're pretty disciplined in where they're going to go and what they're going to do. And we've got a lot of good options out of that one little play there. spots? Coach, are you teaching just two cuts, your flare and curl, off the screens? And do you screen people not No, we screen people. He asked if we teach two ways of reading the screen. We screen people, but you know what? We don't screen that much anymore. That's why I like to run stuff like this. Because what happens when you screen? High school basketball is so physical now. And everyone teaches defense so well. I mean, we do 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 13 of 18

14 screen, don't get me wrong. But when we set screens we feel like we get bumped and we're falling all over the place. So we're not as much of a screening team as some people are. But we do, we teach them to curl, we teach them to flare, and then we teach them to run a straight cut. We teach them to run a straight cut off their screens. And the point, if I make any point, your best player has to be your best screener. That was really big for us last year. When John Shire he's started for three years now when he was a freshman, he was kind of our best player, but I didn't want to tell our seniors that. When he became a sophomore, he was our best player. And then I said, "John. Look at this. If you screen, your man is never going to help." And in his junior year, he's by far the best screener. And if you can convince that guy to do that, you're going to get a lot of easy lay-ups. Zack knows that very well because he benefits from John's screens. Another quick hitter that we run and this is motion too. It's what Jay Hawk was. Spread out. And we have backscreen action and we have screen action over on that side. So we worked on all those drills, right? We start practice out, we do all those drills. We start with the backscreen right here. We start with the downscreen stop. So everyone is moving here. We've got a lot of action going on here. And we can get a lot of stuff out of this. Go ahead and set your screen over there. We can enter it here and then he can come hard here and set a backscreen if he wants to and try to get a layup. And then he's cutting hard to the top for a jump shot right there. Okay, go ahead and run it again. Let's get the jump shot. So no one knows that we get a lay-up out of this. And again, for us, the screener's our best player. And no one really helps off it. And then he comes up to the top and he looks for that quick jump shot there. Any questions? But again, we've got the action going over here. We've got action on that side. And again, all our drills that we do, really, it helps us run our motion like this. PART 5 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 14 of 18

15 The other thing we like to do a lot is run our 1-4 set. We like to run a lot out of our 1-4 set and this is our 3- man motion now. We showed you what our 5-man motion is. Now our 3-man motion, we're going to dribble the ball over here and we're going to break out to the red line. A little bit higher. Higher, okay? Now, these three guys one, two and three are running motion together. Backscreen. Pop out. Go to the block. Again, screen the passer. Backscreen. He's cutting to the block. Now here's where we get good looks. We go right to that corner there and then we look right inside there. And it's cleared out and we've got a 1-on-1 action there. Okay, go ahead and run that. So we run 5-man motion. When we're not doing that very well, we go to our 3-man motion. And we have a lot of set plays out of this. Go ahead. Just run it through a couple times without taking a shot. Brian. Brian, be ready. He's sleeping over there. He's a sophomore so we've got to give him a break there. Okay, stop. Now, obviously people start overplaying us a little bit. Come on out here, Chris. Jeff, go to the block. Now we go with our dribble hand-offs. Zack will dribble it to Brian. He'll hand it to him. Now this guy's going to come all the way over here off a ball screen. This guy's going to replace him to the corner. So, Brian, take it to the wing here. Go ball reversal. Ball reversal to there. We screen the pass away. Brian, you stay in the corner. Now they're back in it. Okay, go ahead and run it a little bit more. Go ahead. Good. Good job. Back on top there. And then out of this, we run this one set, we get a lay-up every time. We ran it probably 10 times last year and the guy that came for the lay-up missed it every time. But we still even got down to Peoria and I said, "Let's try it one more time. He might make that lay-up." He turned, he got it, and he missed it there too. But it's wide open every time. And again, our best player is right here. It's the same look. We pass it here, we go off. Now he goes out to the opposite corner no, not that way. Go to the opposite corner and he backscreens for Brian. We go ball reversal, ball reversal, lay-up, single-single, 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 15 of 18

16 for our best player in case he's not open for the lay-up. Okay, go ahead and run it again. Again, it's like almost automatic for us to get this lay-up. The timing's not real good there. And then we got a single-single out of that. Take it one more time and give it to him for the lay-up. Brian, get wider in that corner. There's a lot of stuff you can do out of this set. Okay, finish. There's a lot of things that you can do. And that's why we like to go to the 1-4 set. We can just clear out. And again, when it gets down to it, we've got a great player and he knows he's just going to take the guy and he's going to shoot it. And he usually comes up and scores pretty well. We call this 60 passes. We do it at the end of practice when they're really tired because we feel like this is when they really need to cut hard and compete against each other. We're going 4-on-4 right now. Every pass is worth one point. If they get a lay-up they get five points. Really a simple game. If the defense tips the ball out of bounds, they then get the ball. You keep a running score. If they get 10 points, the ball gets tipped out, the other team gets it and then we go from there. Sixty passes. You cannot dribble. You can screen. We do it two ways. We allow them to screen and then at the end of the game we don't want to set screens at the end of the game. Because when we do, we set illegal screens. You're up six, you come down, and you're holding the ball, and one of your guys goes and sticks his elbow out and now they get the ball back. So at the end of the game we tell them, "We're not going to screen." And we have a specific name for that. And they know no screens, spread out, run our cuts. Let's just go through this real quickly. I know I'm just about done here. Go ahead. All right, we've got one. Keep moving. Keep moving. Two. White, you've got to get that ball. Three. Four. Backdoor. Five. Get the backdoor lay-up. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven. Get a lay-up. Get a lay-up, somebody. Twelve. Swing it. Swing it. Thirteen. Keep going. All right, stop. Now, I'm going to tell my defense they cannot dribble the ball. All right? You're all over that guy. I'm not going to make you guys do that right now. But here's the guy that receives the ball on the perimeter, you just crowd him. You know in the drill and our guys just kind of kill each other in this drill. They're all over each other, bumping each other. And they make it tough to make a pass. Because they know if they tip it, they're going to get the ball back. That's a great drill that we use. Probably our best motion drill. And again, it really teaches them to cut. The other one I'll show is what we call Ray Town. And for those of you that know Brian James, he did this many years ago and this is where I got this one from. Brian, can you just take your shirt off and play white now? We have four players on offense, five on defense. They cannot dribble the basketball. And they are trying to make 10 passes. If they make 10 passes, their team gets one point. And again, everything we do is 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 16 of 18

17 competitive. So white, you have an advantage. You can trap the ball every time. Come on up here, Brian. I'm not sure that these guys are as alert as I am out here, but let's run it, okay? You go anywhere you want. White, they can't dribble. So you're trying to trap them and steal the ball. All right, go ahead. Okay, they've got one. They want to get 10. Two. Come on. Get out here. Who's got him? Good. Don't let him out. Don't let him out. All right, stop. Stop. Ball went out of bounds. Now, the white team would get the ball. They didn't get a point there. If they make 10 passes, their team gets a point and gets the ball back. They didn't get that done. They got knocked out of bounds. So now the white team would get the ball. I'd bring in another green guy and they would have five guys. And then we'd just kind of go at each other and we work as hard as we can. This is a great drill. You have to stop it a lot though because they, as you saw right there, they're trapping right away and it makes it tough. I had a guy that broke his nose years ago. They came up to him real hard and they just popped him right and he broke his nose. You've got to be careful because kids'll play hard and they really compete on this one. Any questions on those games or drills that we do? Coach, am I about Jim, are we ready to go here? I want to just thank you. I want to thank this guys from Lincoln-Way for helping us out a little bit here. And thank my players for coming in here. I'm trying my hardest to talk to people and, like, when someone calls me and stuff, and try to send a play or whatever it is that you saw us run, or whatever it is. But I want to be careful because we do want to win some games next year, all right? We don't want everybody to know exactly everything we're running. So I try to be a little bit careful on that. I will try to get back to anybody. I know these college guys I always laugh at this because they end their talk and they go, "Hey, call us anytime you would like." And then when you call, they're out recruiting, they're doing a million different things, and you really never get through to them. So if you have any questions, I had a handout. If you have any questions, please feel free to call at the school and I can help you out with anything. I want to wish everyone good luck. And the one thing I will end on, and I always talk about this. Eleven years ago when I took the job at Glenbrook North, I was in a meeting and we had to talk about our goals. And they said, "What's your goal, coach?" And I said, "I want to win the state championship." And the people in that group looked at me and said, "No way. You will never win the state championship at Glenbrook North. You don't have enough good players." And I was a little depressed at that time because I said, "Why am I coaching?" And then after about eight years I thought, "You know what? They were right. It's never going to happen." And then all of a sudden this kid, John Shire, comes into our program and everything just changes. But I would dream 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 17 of 18

18 about it. And my point is, never stop dreaming because you never know what's going to happen. Thank you very much and good luck this year. END OF THIS TITLE 5 Man Motion Offense Copyright Basketball Inner Circle 18 of 18
