Motion Offense with Audibles

with Larry McKenzie,
Minnesota RipKnees (ABA)

Coach McKenzie has run motion offense from the third grade level through his ABA experience. His main premise is that motion allows you to put your five best players on the floor. This motion is a position-less offense that includes roles for each player. Motion starts as soon as the transition game begins. The key is having big guys run the floor hard to the rim while the wings run wide as the ball is being pushed ahead. Ball reversal is mandatory to move the defense. Down screens, double screens and stagger screens are all executed. Isolation of specific players in parts of the floor is a highlight of this motion scheme. Communication, spacing and making reads are important to the flow of this motion offense. The point guard is allowed to call audibles, which are automatic plays. Six audible options are demonstrated 5-0 and 5-5 to show the flexibility of this attack.
