Exposing defenses with their spread motion has given Paulsen-coached teams an offensive advantage with an efficient, high-octane approach. In this DVD, you will learn motion offense insights that can help your team score more points with less turnovers. In an organized fashion, Coach Paulsen lays out five elements of a quality offense, advantages of motion offense, and common objections to motion. The Motion "S" Principles are the foundation for success: spacing, swinging the ball, sharp cuts, screening, sureness, sealing, shot ready, and shot selection. Throughout this video, Paulsen's unique view of how motion can take advantage of defenses is convincing. Because dribble penetration is so hard to guard, this offense is designed to maximize the use of dribble penetration with great spacing, big/small situations, and built in movements for players away from the ball. In detail, Paulsen covers the dribble fade and crackback for guards and the step up and lunge for posts. The importance of 3-point opportunities are enhanced by an innovative concept called "looping" on penetration. Also covered are perimeter rules when the ball is in the post, cutting, spacing, and filling open areas for 3-point shots. Coach Paulsen also shares a 4-out 1-in alignment with effective concepts such as Utah, Cincinnati, Pipe cut, Role Replace, and force curls. The popular high-low offense can also easily be integrated into this winning motion offense. The video concludes with Coach Paulsen's insight on how to grade shot selection during scrimmages allowing you to educate players on the value of good shots. This unique, innovative presentation will provide a blueprint for winning with the motion offense.
