Offense - team objectives

All coaches, based on their respective philosophy, have points of emphasis and objectives for their teams. As mentioned previously, those points will be based on personnel, desired style of play, and a host of other factors. On the offensive side of the ball, consider stressing the following to achieve success:

• want to get a shot EVERY possession, so we must take care of the basketball (that concept of possession value requires constant reinforcement)
• ideally want a layup or post up - if not available then need crisp ball movement (always preach and appreciate the unselfish extra pass)
  
• need to generate three point shots that come as a result of inside out passes (again the emphasis of patience after post reception and shooters moving/spacing)
• want to change sides of the floor because defense is strongest on the first entry (ball pressure and help side is in place - need to break that down and beat in recovery)
