NOTES ON MOTION:

When using an offene based on "motion rules" there are a few principles that need to be applied to ensure the best possible results.

- Score
- Ball reversal/movement
- Player movement
- Get inside the key (pass or dribble)
- post cutting rules
- spacing
- and receivers

MOVEMENT + PATIENCE = BASKETS
MOVEMENT WITH A PURPOSE

The receiver spots are shown above by the "X", they are inside the key at the elbow and also at the edge of the backboard.

RECEIVER SPOTS:

With all penetration into the key in motion we must get two receivers, 1 defensive safety and 1 player spotting up opposite.

If you are below the # mark you will always fill a receiver spot unless their is a post position filled on your side of the floor.

Setup 1.

#3 has penetration from the wing.

#5 and #2 will fill the two receiver spots.

#1 will become the defensive safety and #4 remains in place to spot up opposite.

Setup 2.

# 1 has penetration at the elbow.

#5 and #3 now get to the two receiver spots.

# 2 spots up opposite while # 4 fills in as the defensive safety.

#4 does have a lot of court to cover but as there they are on a post filled side they cannot be a receiver.

Setup 3.

#4 has penetration at the elbow.

#1 fills in as the defensive safety.

#2 slides down to spot up opposite.

And #3 and #5 become receivers.

POST CUTTING RULES:

High Post Series # 1.

#5 flashes high and receives a pass from #1.

#4 will backcut and #1 will fill in at the wing to balance out the floor.

High Post Series # 2.

#5 flashes to the high post and receives the pass from #1.

#1 now cuts hard to the basket and can either cut out weakside or replace at the ballside wing.

#4 fills in for #1 at the point to keep the floor balanced.

Low Post Series # 1.

#4 feeds the ball into the low post (#5).

#1 now cuts hard to the basket and will cut out to the weakside.

#4 fills in at the point for #1 and balances out the floor.

Low Post Series 2.

#4 feeds the ball into the post (#5) and cuts hard to the basket.

#1 fills in at the wing at #4's original position.
