Rick Insell: Spread Half Court Offense

with Rick Insell,
Middle Tennessee State University Head Women's Coach

Simplicity and execution are the trademarks of Coach Insell's program at MTSU. In this on-court DVD, Insell teaches his offense then shows it with 5-on-5 play. Building a half court offense depends on players in your program. Insell highlights the characteristics of players one through five that he needs in his system. The offensive priority is to get the best players good shots on every possession. Most of the shots will be taken from the left side of the floor making this offense unique. The entry pass can be delivered to the right or left wing making it good against pressure defenses. This offense also does a good job of spreading the floor and forming triangles on different parts of the floor. Ball screens, baseline screens and hard cuts are incorporated into every possession. Every action that is taken away by the defense can be countered by a pass or player movement. In conclusion, offensive game clips show the effectiveness of this attack. This half court attack can be very successful for coaches at the high school and college level.
