Offense: Dean Smith's Shuffle Offense

Image
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.

Five players move as one, the ball zips side-to-side, and every possession feels like an opportunity. Here are 10 golden rules that will take your motion offense from average to unstoppable. 1️⃣ Keep Great Spacing — “Don’t crowd the dance floor.” Spacing is the heartbeat of every great offense. Stay 12–15 feet apart so there’s room to drive, cut, and pass. When players bunch up, the defense wins. When the floor is open, anything is possible. Coaching cue: “If you can touch your teammate, you’re too close.” 2️⃣ Pass and Move — “Don’t pass and watch.” Every pass should create action. Cut hard, set a screen, or relocate to open sp...
