Coach Jim Ferry
Coach Jim Ferry is teaching some modern offensive entries that can be used against man-to-man and zone defenses. Various alignments give the coaches different ideas they can use.
The main idea against zones is to isolate one defender and attack him.
Opening Thoughts
All great coaches steal plays! The best way to get better as a coach is to watch the games and be a thief as much as possible.
Coach Ferry shares three things from breaks, three items from a stack, three things from a box set, three things from 1-4 formation, and 3 things from 2-1-2 formation.
Secondary Break Actions
Teach your players to use both sides of the floor to be effective. Spacing for this action includes rim runner who is posting on the ball side. Two wings are running as wide as possible. The point guard is in a slot position and the second trailer is running through the middle.
Stack Actions
Four and five are on the top and two and three on the bottom of the low stacks. Simple reversals allow the team to form a triangle, and from there, you can run it as a motion offense.
Box Actions
Box and stack actions are interchangeable. For scouting reasons, it is good to have at least three options from the box set. If you want to post up your center, the Laker option, which ends with a diagonal back screen, is an excellent fit.
1-4 High Actions
Options include VCU, which starts with Iverson cut and flows to two ball screens on the side.
One more option is Slice which is perfect if your four-man is a good player who can drive and shoot, he will get the ball on the top with an option to create.
2-1-2 Actions
Popular set that many people know as Princeton offense. Before going to the main screens, dribble handoff masquerades our action. And the middle guy is making "X" screens before popping out to receive the ball.
Zone Offense Actions
Some of the best zone offenses start from 1-3-1 formation and include:
Passing the ball side to side.
Stepping out.
Making ball screens.
Hitting the low post.
Inbounds Actions
The point guard takes the ball out, the best shooter is on the opposite block, and two big men are up. Everybody spaces the floor, which creates a lot of pressure for the defense.
Q & A
Against switching defenses, Coach Ferry likes to slip the screens and use many fades.
Final Thoughts
The game is forever growing and changing, and coaches have to keep learning and adapting.
