I have made the decision to move this publication over to Beehiiv Starting September 1st. Nothing will change on your end, you will receive the same updates, have access to the same breakdowns. The only difference is everything will be hosted on Beehiiv. I will be honest, I am super nervous about this change, but the reality is it will save me money and make for a better user experience. My main focus is the user experience, and it is becoming more and more limited with what I want to do here on Substack. While money isn’t the biggest influence in my decision-making, I have outgrown Substack here through all of your support. I will send out more updates in the future about the changes throughout the next month.

My 5-Out Offense Masterclass is back for year 2! I have been studying, teaching, installing and running 5-Out offense for over 15 years, the last 3 as a head coach. Not only did we have to turn a program around that was 4-20 the year before I took over, but creating a 5-Out offense built on decision-making and “Create-Keep-Use” philosophy from the basics has taught me so much. I want to offer an exclusive discount for Substack that gives you 50% of this price for the next week, and include a year of member access to The Basketball Playbook membership. Use code “masterclass50” at checkout, and you will be able to use this discount through August 7th.

This experience has been invaluable to my knowledge of how to teach and install this offense and I am continuously learning and growing as a coach every year, discovering new things to add, tweak or use to help my players create better decisions.

This Masterclass will go over everything you need to run a 5-Out Offense, starting with Spacing, Break Install, Half Court Concepts, and flowing into how to teach and use drills to create the offense you want. We play FAST, finishing last season #1 on Synergy out of high school teams for % of possessions in transition, and I encourage every coach to play this way as well.

Clips of our “Husky Break” offense, running off both misses and made shots:

Playing fast does not fit every team or coaches personality, so even though we will talk about how to play and commit to playing faster, there will be much more focus on how to build and chain actions together so your offense will never be able to be slowed down in the half court as well.

My biggest goal and focus for this years Masterclass is to make sure we focus on how to teach and install as many reps in practice for our players to make better decisions and how to combine these with reps on the actions you want to see in your offense.

This Masterclass is designed to give every coach with any level of experience. I will go over the tools to learn, install and run 5-out offense starting with the basics of philosophy and spacing all the way to specific drills based on decision making, skill development and concepts that you can use.

The design of this 5-out offense masterclass will be 4 sessions once a week starting September 2nd.

Session 1 September 2: Intro & Spacing Concepts

Session 2 September 9: Transition & Early Offense

Session 3 September 16: Actions, Concepts & 5 Out Playbook

Session 4 September 23: Drills, Skills & Practice Planning

Throughout these sessions, I will include film from my teams from the last few years, including practice footage as well as NBA, NCAA & high school examples.

This is the first day of skill reads and teaching, with film examples of what we were working on throughout the video.

My favorite play from them was attacking switches out of the elbow:

Navigating the Spurs defense is one of the hardest things in the NBA currently, and the Knicks had creative actions to get Brunson with space and the matchups he wanted.

Although it was simple, there are still great sets, actions, and concepts we can all steal as coaches for our own playbook - check it out below for paid subscribers.

It makes sense, he came from Mark Few and Gonzaga, seeing what the successful ballscreen offense has become with better talent but it is very hard to guard.

Arizona blends post ups, flow offense and their ballscreen/duck in continuity to make their offense very difficult to guard and one that I think translates to high school very well. It wouldn’t be hard to envision using players who can seal off low and make the reads easier for them to blend the typical ballscreen continuity I see a lot of teams run.

It is enabled by Wemby who basically shuts down one side of the court when he is on defense with his length, athleticism, and IQ. Combining a system that switches, peels, and allows Wemby to control everything on the backline, the Spurs defense is the best versions of the championship Warrior teams combined with Sean Sweeney’s defense from the NBA Finals Mavericks team.

I have included the previous breakdowns of the Mavericks, Warriors and peel switching if you would like more information on those systems.
