TEX WINTER'S SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF SOUND OFFENSE

The following is from an article in FIBA Assist Magazine written by Coach Tex Winter.

1. Penetration of the defense.  You must penetrate the defense, and the best way to do this is the fast break , because basketball is a full court game from baseline to baseline.

2. Spacing. I am literally a fanatic of spacing. The floor must be spaced so it is difficult for the defense to help as well as to trap. The players must be distant from each other a certain number of feet and distance varies. In the high school level, I would recommend from 12 to 15 feet, at the college level ,15-18 feet and at the pro level, 15 to 20 feet. With the proper spacing, if the defense tries to trap, there will always be a player open.

3. Ball and Player Movement. The players must move the ball and themselves on the court, but with a purpose, because there is only one ball and the players will play almost 80% of the time without the possession of the ball.

4. Options for the Ball Handler. He must be able to pass the ball to all other four teammates, so the players be constantly moving.

5. Offensive Rebound and Defensive Balance. On all the possible shots, the offense must provide strong offensive rebounding, as well as create a defensive floor balance to avoid the opponent's fast break.

6. To fill any spot. The offense must offer to any player the chance to fill any spot on the court, independently by his role. All the positions should be interchangeable.

7. Utilize individual talents. Take advantage of your best players, but always with the respect of all other teammates on the court. Michael Jordan taught me this.
