Coach Brooks credits the Triangle Offense for his 80% winning percentage over the past nine years. Coach Brooks introduces the triangle in a 5-0 alignment. The key spot, corner spot, post, top of circle spot and the weak side spot make up all five positions. This offense has many features and is constantly in motion. The first option begins with a post feed as four players revolve around him. Switching up the cuts when the ball is in the post gives this option multiple looks. Another play in the triangle is the pinch post, where Brooks presents three options. Having the ball in the middle of the floor puts pressure on all defenders. To be effective in the triangle, you must move the ball from sideline to sideline. The ball screen and back screen are used in as a unique option in the triangle offense. A great look at putting this offense to work at the HS level!

Every move and pass in the triangle relies on great footwork. Coach Brooks shows the detailed drills that build the triangle offense. The initial drill is a full court drill and the execution of the hand off at the other end. The same concept is run in the half court, allowing the pinch player to fake the hand off and attack the defender to score. The wing player has many opportunities to drive his defender to the paint. In this drill, wings get open and use proper footwork to get by the defender. The same drill is executed by using the reverse pivot on the catch. The next breakdown drill involves the dribble weave and hand off option. Four players are active in this drill and players can play different positions. By adding four defenders, the options can be worked on with defensive pressure.
