with Jim Foster,
Ohio State University Head Women's Basketball Coach,
2003 USA Basketball Developmental Coach of the Year

Coach Foster introduces his "Multi-Purpose Zone Offense" which is easy to learn, understand, and teach, but impossible to stop. Foster uses four simple principles that will help your team create numerous scoring opportunities against a zone defense. He uses each of these principles in teaching a zone offense that can be run against a 1-3-1 zone, 3-2 zone, or match-up zones with odd or even fronts. In addition, Foster provides insights on how to successfully adapt this zone offense to fit any zone defense that you may be faced with. Foster teaches this offense utilizing a progression of drills that will help you recognize different scenarios and help you utilize each of your player's strengths. In contrast to other stationary zone offenses, this zone offense will break down any zone through constant movement, spacing, and cuts. Each counter or entry for attacking the zone is explained in detail on the court with demonstrators. These principles can be incorporated into any zone offense you use. This video provides innovative and effective instruction on a deadly multi-purpose zone offense!
