The High/Low Motion Offense By: Bill Self 1999.

This video is available at Syskos.com for $39.95

Running Time: 60 Minutes.

This 3-out/2-in motion offense is simplified with some basic rules for continuity. Because theoffense is designed to pull one of the post players to the high post, it allows the other to be isolatedin the low post with room to score. The offense also allows your perimeter players to score off thecatch or dribble with the look of a true motion offense. The video uses on-court demonstration toteach the concepts.

This is an excellent video for the coach to teach a High-Low Motion Offense. This offense providesfor the traditional advantages of a motion offense while adding structure to keep personnel in theirhigh percentage scoring areas. The video is informative and fully explains the offense in awhole-part-whole method. The video takes the coach through the full offense with demonstrationsand breakdown drills. This video is a valuable resource for any coach who wants to teach astructured 3 Out-2 Motion offense. I highly recommend this video to anyone interested inlearning how to teach this simple High-Low Motion Offense.

Details True motion offense is difficult and time consuming to teach. This motion is more structured, buthas the same components as a true motion offense that make it hard to scout. Those componentsinclude:

Ball screensStaggered screensDouble screensBig-Little screensCross screensBack screensDribble penetration opportunitiesInside-Out opportunities

This hi-lo motion offense is designed for post players who are not great perimeter shooters. Anoffense should not require post players to receive a pass outside of their scoring range. Neithershould they be put into a position to shoot a defended shot outside of the paint. This hi-lo offenseis a very simple offense. Self states that while at Tulsa he put the offense in 4 days before

defeating a team ranked 26th

. The offense is predicated on:

Point to wing entry passPoint to high post entry passPoint to wing dribble entry

LOW POST RULE: Anytime the ball is entered to a low post the other post will dive to thebasket.

Weak side pass from wing to low post = strong side wing-post stagger screen for the corner

Strong side pass to post = perimeter players widen out behind the three point line and theother post dives to the basket

The point should enter the ball into the

offense from the Lane channel. The lane linesextended create this channel.

The wings will set up either below the foul

line extended where they can comfortablyreceive the ball.

NOTE:

When the high post has the ball the low post will be in a direct line between the ball andthe basket. This will force the post defender to commit to a defensive position (front,

behind, side). If the post does not move in adirect line with the ball and basket he is easier to defend.

***When a perimeter player screens another perimeter player he will clear behind thethree-point line.

***Offense Keys:

High post pass to weak side = strong side wing -post stagger screen for the corner.

High post pass to strong side = weak side post-wing down screen.

Perimeter player pass to weak side = posts have option to cross screen.

1-4 Pressure Defense Entry

When the defense denies the wing entry pass both post players will flash to the elbows andboth wing players will move to a position where they will be higher that the ball on the

post entry pass.

2

The first option is a back cut by the ball sidewing. The post will drop step in the directionof the pass and use a bounce pass to feed the cutter. The wing will initiate the cut by

pivoting on the back foot and steppingacross the defender and placing him on his back or hip. Once a back cut is initiated, thewing will cut all the way to the block.
