Using on-court demonstration, Coach Showalter takes you through the “20” continuity offense which begins in a 1-4 set and utilizes a ball screen on the wing to get players into what Showalter calls the kill area. Coach details what makes the ball screen offense work including how and where to set the ball screen and the screen and roll versus the screen and go.

Go behind the screen
Hedge on the screen
Double on the screen
Switch the screen
Show early on the screen

The basic continuity offense remains the same, but players must learn different reads as they change when facing a zone defense. You will get an added bonus as Showalter talks about how to get players to play hard all the time.

Continuity Offense from the Inside Out
Aaron Aanonsen has led Lakeland College in becoming one of the most prolific scoring offenses in NCAA Division III. Lakeland was seventh in the nation in 2011-12 averaging 88.5 points per game. Coach Aanonsen shows you his 3-out, 2-in Continuity Motion Offense that uses multiple screens to create mismatches inside and out.
You will see three entries for the offense: a wing entry, post entry, and a 4-high entry. All allow your players to start the offense by reading the actions of the defense. Incorporating curls, back screens, and hand-offs within the entries helps to weaken wing pressure and allows the offense to control the flow of the game. Each entry into the offense flows easily into the motion offense.
To take advantage of defenses that cheat or switch, Coach Aanonsen teaches you Point Check, Post Check, Strong, Stay, and Cutting Game. Each is a counter that easily alters the predictability of the basic continuity offense. Coach Aanonsen also adds five quick hitters to get different players open looks at the basket. Each play returns easily to the motion offense.
The final part of the offense is then introduced by Coach Aanonsen. He details the 4-low inbounds series that includes eight plays. This allows the offense to adjust with quick variations that don’t force you to vary the starting point.
One of the great things about this offense is that it can build confidence. Players know where their shots will come from allowing them to repeatedly practice those shots. That’s where the confidence comes from.
This offense is great for a coach that wants some structure and control. It’s also great because it’s not as predictable as an offense that runs 100 percent set plays. It’s an offense that can be used at the high school or even middle school level. It will reduce turnovers and produce high percentage shots.

Continuity On-Ball Screen Offense with High-Low Action
The ball screen is one of the most used actions at all levels of basketball. It is extremely difficult to defend and defenses have responded with numerous adjustments. In this video, Fresno State women’s head coach Jaime White gives an in-depth look at her continuity on-ball screening offense. Take a look inside the offense that has produce four winning seasons at Fresno State and, before that, the most wins in Northern Colorado women’s basketball history.
Twist & Double
Coach White starts the presentation on the whiteboard explaining the details of the offense. She reviews how to set it up, spacing, and the basic movements. She also describes the purpose and philosophy of the offense and why it can be successful for any coach.
The presentation then goes into the two on-ball screening actions: Twist and Double. Coach White explains each on the whiteboard first before moving onto the court. Twist is a single on-ball screen on the wing on either side of the floor. Double is a double on-ball screen for the wing which then flows right into the continuity of the offense.
Moving to the floor, Coach White goes over each action as well as the counters and change ups, such as Quick and Pop. One of the primary focuses of the offense is to use the post players. Each action ends in some sort of high-low opportunity. Coach White then discusses what makes a good post-up opportunity and how to exploit defenses that front, switch, or three-quarter to the post player.
Counters & Film
Defenses try to take away the initial entry pass to take away certain actions in an offense. Coach White reveals her experience with the offense by reviewing every counter and defensive adjustment you could see. You’ll see a middle pick-and-roll against teams that want to pressure the point guard. For teams that “ice” the Twist action, Coach White calls Corner which takes advantage of defensive positioning.
Coach White then brings it all together with a review of actual game footage. You will see the continuity offense in action. This is one of the most comprehensive presentations of a continuity ball screen offense you will see. Coach White shares an offense that any coach at any level can take and use to be successful.

Unleashing the Power of the Kelbick Zone Offense: A Tactical Guide
Introduction
Welcome to our comprehensive guide on the Kelbick Zone Offense, a strategic approach that will revolutionize your basketball game. In this article, we will explore the intricacies of the Kelbick Zone Offense, providing you with expert insights, advanced techniques, and detailed breakdowns to help you outperform your opponents on the court. Whether you're a seasoned player or a newcomer to basketball, this guide is your key to unlocking offensive excellence.
Understanding the Kelbick Zone Offense
The Kelbick Zone Offense, developed by renowned basketball coach Coach Kelbick, is a highly effective offensive strategy designed to exploit and dismantle zone defenses. This tactical approach emphasizes ball movement, player spacing, and strategic positioning to create scoring opportunities and break down even the most resilient zone defenses.
Key Principles of the Kelbick Zone Offense
1. Ball Movement and Player Spacing
One of the fundamental principles of the Kelbick Zone Offense is the emphasis on ball movement and player spacing. By constantly moving the ball from one side of the court to the other and maintaining proper spacing between players, you create openings in the zone defense, forcing defenders to make difficult decisions and openings for your team to exploit.
2. High-Percentage Shots
The Kelbick Zone Offense aims to generate high-percentage shots by taking advantage of defensive gaps and mismatches. By executing precise passes, utilizing dribble penetration, and making intelligent cuts to the basket, you can create scoring opportunities near the rim or open up perimeter shots. This focus on high-percentage shots increases your team's efficiency and maximizes scoring potential.
3. Reading and Reacting to the Defense
A key aspect of the Kelbick Zone Offense is the ability to read and react to the defense. Instead of relying on set plays, this offensive strategy encourages players to make quick decisions based on the movements and positioning of the defenders. By developing strong basketball IQ, recognizing defensive rotations, and exploiting weak spots in the zone, you can keep the defense off balance and consistently find open scoring opportunities.
Implementing the Kelbick Zone Offense
To successfully implement the Kelbick Zone Offense, you need to focus on key strategies and techniques. Let's explore some of the essential elements that will enhance your offensive prowess:
1. Establishing Proper Alignment
Proper alignment is crucial in the Kelbick Zone Offense. Players should be positioned strategically to create passing angles and exploit defensive gaps. This includes having players in the high post, low post, and along the perimeter to stretch the defense and create multiple scoring options.
2. Utilizing the Flash Post
The flash post is a fundamental movement in the Kelbick Zone Offense. It involves the player positioned in the high post quickly cutting towards the basket, creating a scoring opportunity near the rim or drawing defensive attention, which opens up passing lanes for teammates. The flash post requires precise timing, coordination, and the ability to read the defense effectively.
3. Screening and Cutting
Screening and cutting play a vital role in the Kelbick Zone Offense. By setting screens on defenders, you create confusion in the defense and open up opportunities for your teammates. Simultaneously, players without the ball should constantly be moving, making cuts to the basket or relocating to open areas, forcing defenders to make difficult choices and creating scoring chances.
The Benefits of the Kelbick Zone Offense

By employing proper ball movement, player spacing, and strategic positioning, you can create openings in the defense and force defenders to make difficult choices. This offensive strategy puts constant pressure on the zone defense, leading to breakdowns, mismatches, and scoring opportunities.
2. Increased Scoring Efficiency
One of the primary objectives of the Kelbick Zone Offense is to generate high-percentage shots. Through intelligent movement, precise passing, and smart decision-making, you can create scoring opportunities near the basket or open perimeter shots. By focusing on high-percentage shots, your team's overall scoring efficiency will improve, leading to higher point production and a greater chance of success.
3. Improved Offensive Flow
The Kelbick Zone Offense promotes continuous ball movement and player involvement. With its emphasis on reading and reacting to the defense, this offensive strategy encourages players to make quick decisions based on the movements of defenders. This fluid style of play keeps the defense on their toes, disrupts their rotations, and creates a cohesive offensive flow that can lead to seamless scoring opportunities.
4. Enhanced Player Development

The emphasis on reading the defense, making intelligent cuts, and executing precise passes enhances players' basketball IQ and decision-making abilities.

Secondary Drill: Learn to use ball screens in the secondary break and how to teach them to your players.
Speed Drill: Work on quick outlet passes and advance passes to players running the floor in a continuous fast break drill.
Corner Offense
An alternative to the Triangle offense, the Corner offense is great for teams with good shooters, big guards that can post up, or teams that don’t have a dominant post player. Proper spacing spreads the floor for cuts to the basket and post up opportunities by guards.
Coach Reeve breaks down the multiple options in her Corner offense, showing you how ball movement helps to open up scoring opportunities. Split screens, flare screens, and dribble handoffs are all used to create 3-point attempts or easy layups.

Set Plays
Coach Reeve demonstrates some set plays that she has used with great success. There are three plays out of the Corner alignment, two variations using spread ball screens, and an end-of-game play for a 3-point shot. The plays include:
Cheek: This is a great play that uses a back screen to post up on a smaller guard or get an open 3-pointer.
Thumbs Up: Using misdirection with a screen the screener action on the perimeter, this play can result in either a layup or 3-point shot.
Punch: This is a great play to involve the weak side of the Corner offense and get an open look for your best shooter coming off a screen.
This is a wonderful look at an offensive philosophy that has been used with great success at the game’s highest levels. It is simple enough that coaches at levels can benefit from the drills and plays taught in this presentation.

Creating an Efficient Perimeter Player
Syracuse basketball has produced a number of outstanding perimeter players. University of Washington head coach Mike Hopkins is one of the reasons why. Hopkins, a 20-year-plus assistant to Jim Boeheim at Syracuse, is a master of perimeter basketball play. In this video, Coach Hopkins shares all aspects of perimeter development including increasing speed, improving shooting, and becoming mentally tougher.
Hopkins became the head coach at Washington in 2017 and went 21-13 in his first season. His Huskies won the Pac-12 regular season title in 2018 and Hopkins was named the Pac-12 Coach of the Year. He has had a long and successful career in developing perimeter players and he shares his views and insights in this presentation.
Winning the Baseline Drive
Coach Hopkins uses a series of drills to work on the line and angle to the basket when driving to the key. Here, Coach Hopkins teaches players not to fight the defender but to use balance and quickness. The placement of the feet is crucial in beating the defender to the basket. Players also learn to expect and absorb contact while maintaining a strong base. Hopkins prefers the offensive player initiate the contact which helps to improve angles and increase shot percentages. Coach Hopkins also teaches players how to deal with second defenders who will no doubt come into play as the first defender is beaten.
Change of Direction Moves
To teach players to dribble low enough (something they rarely do), Coach Hopkins shows you the Dribble Touch drill series where players must stay low after making a change of direction move. Hopkins also shows you how to deal with defenders that crowd the basketball. He teaches a head-shoulder-leg technique that initiates contact with a defender without drawing a foul. The Walk Up Drill is another in which players learn to separate from defenders and get open on the perimeter.
Dribbling posture is important to Coach Hopkins and he talks about how players are to react when facing defensive pressure on the ball. Hopkins emphasizes drills that work on creating space for the ball handler.
Shooting Endurance
Players must be in great shape to be able to shoot when they are tired. Spurs 100 is an outstanding shooting drill that Coach Hopkins uses at the end of his practices. The drill is a conditioner but also can be modified so that players are taking the same shots they would in a game situation.
Coach Hopkins video will give you a greater appreciation of the skills and fundamentals needed to be a successful perimeter player. With years of experience in developing some of the best in college basketball, Coach Hopkins gives you all of the tools you will need to do the same in your program.
