Q: Hey Coach. I have just started practicing and we are now 3 practices in. We have started learning man defense and working on Circle Movement. This offense is already making my defense much better!
My question is this:
In a 3 OUT 2 IN offensive set, when a wing passes to the man at the [...]

Q: I purchased and recently started implementing the R&R for a 5th and a 6th grade girls team. Currently, I am only using the R&R against man-to-man defense. I really like it in this application since it keeps the entire team involved. I have been using a 1-4 High set against a zone, but would [...]

Q: In the 4 OUT set, if the ball is driven North/South from the wing and the post is on the weak side where will the post slide?
A: Pretend the ball is on the right wing and the post is on the left side of the lane. If the right wing drives to the goal [...]

Q: Consider a 4 OUT set with the top four spots filled: two guard spots, two wing spots, corners empty. The post is on the left side of the lane. When the right wing drives left toward the center of the lane, the left wing slides to the corner, the left guard slides to the [...]

Q: I coach a 5th and 6th grade girl’s team and I’ve been running the system for a few weeks now. I’ve decided the 3 OUT 2 IN is probably the best formation for our team. However, one thing that we’re experiencing and something that I haven’t really seen on the DVD’s or on the [...]

Q: I have a talented guard who is my best post player and my best point guard. What are some situations where I get him into the post? Could I have him stay in the post on a Laker cut or Pass & Cut? If so, what about spacing – if there is already a [...]

Q: We run mostly 3 OUT 2 IN, but we will go with a 4 guard lineup at times. Also, on a dead ball, our quick hitter is temporarily run in the 5 OUT set, so we do touch on all formations at some point. Do you think that is too much for my team [...]

From David Jooss
Hey Coach,
I’m a huge fan of the Read and React and I am preparing for my second season with the offense. Last year I had all guards so we ran it 5 OUT most of the time. This coming year, I will have multiple big guys that can play and so I will [...]

Q: We will primarily be using the 3 OUT formation, but we will incorporate others as season goes on. Can you give me some ideas on how I could incorporate the power dribble layer into 3 OUT 2 IN? Is it for only when bigs touch ball on perimeter? When one post gets the ball, [...]

Q: How can I utilize the power dribble more; it’s just not happening. We play mostly 3 OUT and I don’t want to call out for certain things to happen.
A: If you play 3 OUT 2 IN, then the only way a Power Dribble happens with your post players is: your post players wind up [...]
