1-4 High Continuous Action

1-4 high offenses can be very interesting to coaches. It allows for a variety of scoring opportunities as well as some easy pressure releases against aggressive defenses.  Today, we are going to take a look at 1-4 high continuous action.  Even if you are not looking for a complete offense, there are still scoring actions out of this that could be used as sets or entries for other base offenses.

Preparing for the First Game

We start practice on Monday.  We typically have approximately 2 weeks prior to our first game.  One of the things that is important for many teams is to get in all of the required elements for that first game.  This is important to think about as you plan out practices.  Therefore, I am going to share some resources that will help you in this process.

Grinnell System

If you watched ESPN today, you probably heard about Jack Taylor from Grinnell who scored over 100 points for the 2nd time in his career.  Regardless of your thoughts of the Grinnell system, it is still an amazing.  With that in mind, I thought it be fitting to provide some resources on this system.  I may have already done this so I apologize if that is the case.


I also thought it would be fitting to include some game film to kind of put this in to perspective as well.  Sometimes see the system in action can help.

Clarkston Bantams Carolina Set

This is a nice set that I came across in my basketball files.  It would be a good set action for teams that utilize a shot clock.  I also like the back cut reads that are built within the set.  It is one of the more interesting sets that I have seen in a while.


5 State Hoops Basketball BLOG

I want to throw out a plug for a great basketball website that has a ton of information for coaches.  The site is called 5 State Hoops and it is ran by Coach Chuck Thompson.  I have been looking through the site the past couple of weeks and have really enjoyed the wealth of resources that Coach Thompson provides.

Seattle Pacific BLOB 3 Low Series

A friend of mine sent me this baseline out of bounds video that has some nice options out of it.  Seattle Pacific is the team running the play and there are multiple clips of the different looks you can get out of it.  I think you will like this blob.
