Make Quick Decisions: The most open you are is on the catch. Do not hold the ball and allow the defense to settle in. Make 1-second decisions to shoot it, drive it, or move it. Your aim is to be a "weapon on the catch" - Doc Sheppler

Create + Keep Space By making quick decisions off the catch we use the advantage. Creating and keeping space allows us to keep/improve the advantage. To areas that affect how you create and keep space: • Rules for passing and cutting • Rules for reacting to drives

Share The Ball The best way to play the game is to play together. When you lose the advantage or draw a second defender, find the open man. "Be fun to play with, and a nightmare to play against" - @DLphyed

Make The Easy Play Good offense is a balance of freedom and responsibility Freedom: encourage your players to make plays Responsibility: no pre-determined shots, make your attack & respond to what you see We can always make the defense wrong
