Offense: Chin Step Back
Our motion offense is based upon the traditional Princeton Offense – “Chin”. We spread the floor and create opportunities to cut to the basket for lay-ups or find 3pt shooters spaced around the arc. Even though players are assigned a number, we try to teach our offense so that all players know all the positions on the floor.
In this video clip we show a few initial options of the offense. Like all good offensive sets, you hope to score on our first option! It’s amazing how often we get our first cutter open for a scoring opportunity. It takes a hard cut, good screen and great pass…but all those put together create easy offense!

Offense: Shoulder

This play gives us lots of options and puts pressure on the defense to defend cutters, screens and communicate.
Our first option is always the quick backdoor by the cutter to the rim. You would be surprised how often that cut is open for a lay-up…just ask Kacy Swain!! In this video clip we get to the pic-n-roll action and create a scoring opportunity for our post player on the block. While this is happening, we have shooters balancing the floor for inside-out action. Any time we need a bucket or want to put pressure on the defense, this is one of our favorite plays to call. |

This out of bounds play gives us many options, but sometimes the simplest option works out the best!
The ball is passed over the top to a shooter. The posts the screen on the blocks as guards come off to catch an entry pass on the wing. The strong side post comes out to set an on ball screen, but the guard drives baseline away from the screen. That post continues around the arc to screen for the shooter filling behind the penetrator. Keep it simple...take the easy lay up if it's there!! Click the image at the left to make it larger. |

Our team made some good adjustments on offense in the PAC 12 Tournament. Good screening, spacing and passing led to many easy shots. Coach Cori made a game time adjustment and our players executed.
This out of bounds play is designed to get a double screen for our shooter or to isolate our post player on the low block. Once the shooter passes the ball in, she sprints to the top of the key for a 3pt shot. As this action is happening, the lowest screening post player gets position on the block to score.

Sideline Out-of-Bounds Play

With the ball on the sideline, we try to find space for our scorers in their favorite spots on the floor.
On this play we have the ability to get our inbounds passer, Markel Walker, an isolation on the other side of the floor or we get a quick 2 player game with Markel and Atonye in the pick n' roll. We score out of the pick n' roll this time, but there is another option if Markel were to pass to the pinch post at the opposite elbow. Markel and Atonye have the ability to make any play simple and effective. Go Bruins!! |

This out of bounds play presents us many scoring options.
First option is a double screen for the shooter, and then the post players screen for each other. We often get a shot for the shooter or will get a pass to the post off of the screening action. The post players have some flexibility to read the defense and set or slip screens appropriately. If those options don’t work, we still have an option to get the ball to the player passing the ball in as she comes off of screens. In the video clip of this play, we are able to pass the ball to Jasmine Dixon after she sets a screen…2pts Bruins! Jasmine scored the game winning basket this year on a similar play versus St. John’s with 2 seconds left in OT! Good screeners and good passers make plays look easy…Go Bruins!! |
