Offense of the day: The Spread

I am posting because before this season I had never heard of it and it is getting all teams at the high school I coach at open. The best part so far has been the amount of layup attempts we have gotten and how we have been able to compete without having many skilled shooters in the program.

So if you are A high school coach that needs a system because your team can not compete with the talent around you, or if you are a traveling coach looking for something that is not dependent on outside shooting, I highly suggest taking a look at the Spread Offense.

Also I highly encourage others to make a post if they have an offense or something that they have found success with!

If anyone wants a more in depth write-up I would be more than happy to do one when I have time. let me know.

At what shooting % would you consider a shooter to be a non-factor?

If someone shoots <10% from the 3, and not that much higher outside of the paint, would you still have your middle school players closely guarding them?
I’m much more concerned about players scoring layups in the paint against us, so I’ve been teaching my team to slack off when playing man-to-man to protect against the drive. Is this poor coaching?

For clarification, I coach in NYC where there are great dribblers and drivers, but poor shooting across the board.
