JUMP STARTING AN OFFENSE WITH PLAYMAKERS AND SPECIAL PLAYS

By Charlie Stubbs Head Coach Nicholls State University             Coaching a successful offensive unit is very complex and requires a good amount of organization. In establishing an offensive philosophy, it is important to follow a few basic principles to ensure success. WINNING OFFENSIVE STRATEGIES           Offensive Flow – Create a rhythm or flow to the offense that will often produce the deciding momentum. This rhythm should be felt in practice and internalized so that it can be generated again in a game.           Beat Opponents To The Punch – Gain the advantage by repeatedly beating the opponent to the punch with quickness and explosiveness. This will eventually wear down the opponent, which will often be a deciding factor.
