Tony Barone: The "X" Zone Offense

with Tony Barone,
former Memphis Grizzlies Assistant Coach
and Director of Player Personnel

Coach Barone shares his insights on one of the most heralded NBA zone offensive systems ever used: The "X" Zone Offense. Barone shares 12 essential teaching points and drills for the "X" zone offense and how it can successfully be used against the 2-3 and the 3-2 zone defenses. He demonstrates counters, entries and more than 10 options to dissect your opponent. These techniques will aid your team in getting open shots, gaining penetration, backdoors, and easy scoring opportunities versus any zone defense. This potent NBA zone offense features excellent ball and man movements, high/low action in the post, perimeter scoring opportunities with the pass and dribble, and continuity and quick-hitting action. This zone offense was a major weapon for the '03 -'04 Grizzlies, who set a franchise record for wins (50); this offense can be used by any coach at any level to put their team in the best position to win games!
