ZIPPER 2

1️⃣ Dribble to the wing
2️⃣ Use the zipper cut
3️⃣ Blur cut in front of the ball
4️⃣ Attack the gap downhill

Simple action. Big driving lane.

[Marc Hart @CoachMarcHart]

@CoachColeDavis I chart it within reason of the paint touch of the action doesn’t break .5 rules so a common one is a hockey assist paint touch kick swing.

[Marc Hart @CoachMarcHart]

I also like to chart off those paint touches:

PTA =Paint touch assists
PTT = Paint touch turnovers
PTS = Paint touch scores

[Adam Barnes @CoachBarnes1]

The best offenses track paint touches obsessively because most elite offense begins with collapsing defensive structure. A paint touch forces the low man to rotate, weak side defenders to stunt, and perimeter defenders to shift their positioning. One drive can trigger 3-4 defensive reactions before the ball is even shot.

This is why spacing matters so much. Dunker spot positioning, shake action, slot lifts, drift spacing, and relocation shooting all exist to punish help defense once the paint is touched. Basketball at the highest levels is often about forcing one defender to make two decisions simultaneously.

This should be shown to all youth teams. Fits today’s offensive concepts of .5 decision making: shoot it, drive it, or move it on the catch. Create a paint touch, kick out, move it 2-3 x, force a long closeout, attack downhill, rim finish.

🌊 “Wave” teaches players how to create offense through spacing, timing, and smart movement.

Swing it. Lift it. Attack it.

No standing. No overthinking. Just teaching players how to play together within concepts.

Spurs - Pistol 5, ‘Peja’ Action

[Marc Hart @CoachMarcHart]

At the HS level, if you have 3 levels, a good freshman coach is crucial to the program.

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

Never understood H.S. coaches who ignore freshman or JV programs.

That’s the future of your varsity team.

Then they complain about no depth, culture, or players ready for varsity.

If you only coach varsity, you’re not building a program—you’re just coaching a team.

The wings offense has been fun to watch this pre season

Here is an action to add!

Set a Ball screen -> come off flare screen

@DallasWings

[Marc Hart @CoachMarcHart]

Like this option a lot can work well with DDM and Drive and Space teams because as I have said it is organized penetration system and any common actions can be used to flow into these conceptual offenses.

[Thibaut Tagnon @TagnonThibaut]

You can create a double gap out of Flex if you reject it high into a Zoom.

[Brian Brennan @buildbball]

to Middle School Parents:

Not one time during my tenure with Mater Dei Basketball, while it was a powerhouse, did myself or anyone else ask an incoming freshman: What club do you play for? How many games did you win? How many points did you score?

Either you arrived ready to compete for a spot, or you arrived needing to learn what you didn’t know. That was the reality.

Who you play for what you learn in MS will propel you or stall you.

[Marc Hart @CoachMarcHart]

@LawEnfPlanner The more players able to attack the better but feel you need a minimum of 2 attackers and 2 shooter hopefully they are not the same two players.

[Marc Hart @CoachMarcHart]

Hot Take: If your Dribble Drive Motion offense relies on just one primary driver is is it DDM?

Or just isolation with spacing?

[Marc Hart @CoachMarcHart]

@natewarner_2 I don’t recruit players I am a Hs coach. IMO need two players who can get paint touches but if we are creating triple gaps and players can’t get in paint that is skill deficiency not an offense deficiency. If you don’t have players that can attack or shoot no offense works.

[Marc Hart @CoachMarcHart]

Most coaches quit the Dribble Drive too early.

It’s not because it doesn’t work…
It’s because it looks messy before it looks good.

If you’re installing it, remember this:
• Be patient
• Emphasize spacing & gaps
• Hunt paint touches
• Attack North-South
