I heard the other day of a coach bringing in a "consultant" to address their stagnant offense problems against a wide 2/3 zone. Here is where the value of teaching your kids real motion comes in.
I saw the game where their offense was so limited against this zone. The problem they had was that they tried to attack this zone with a patterned offense. As you know from this blog, if you use a pattern offense, you're kids will learn primarily the pattern, rather than what it takes to attack this zone. Or any zone.
So the consultant came in and put them in a high - low pattern. All of that sounds great, but my question is: you needed a consultant to figure out that a high - low set would attack this zone? If these kids had known motion principles they could have attacked this zone the last game.
This is where youth coaches, again, can positively effect players years after the kids have left their program. Teach your guys to read the defense and go where the open spot is. Then teach them how to score from that spot. Dribble moves, one-on-one moves, things like that. Problem solved.
