Using Pivots and Reverse Pivots from the Perimeter
This is a cool video showing how important footwork is to the game of basketball.
Offense: Dean Smith's Shuffle Offense
The shuffle offense is a nice little offense that was made popular by Dean Smith and it's origins date back to the 1950's. The thing that I like about this offense is that it forces all 5 players to be familiar with playing both in the post and on the perimeter. It also necessitates that all players know how to set screens and how to use screens. To me this is an offense that can be used at the youth levels where a coach's main goal should be to expose players to multiple positions as opposed to tying kids down to one position at a young age. Once all of the wrinkles are in this offense can be a bit complicated for the beginner but in it's basic form it can be taught to 3rd and 4th graders.
