Message: [QUOTE="BlueMAB, post: 2082077, member: 920"] Motion with purpose, and quick ball movement leads to layups and open jumpers (catch and shoot). Not shots "on the move". I've never seen an offense designed to get guys to "shoot on the move", unless that shot is a layup. All 5 guys don't need to be in motion, but at least 2 or three do. The back and forth passes across the top of the zone are a waste of time. Standing still and passing the ball around the zone is a great way to kill the clock and end up forcing something as the shot clock winds down. When the zone rotates it creates open space, but the offense has to step in and take that space. Instead our guys sit outside the arc and fall in love with the three, but we aren't a good shooting team. That's why losing Gilbert and Larrier and their ability to both shoot and attack the zone was so important. [/QUOTE]
