How to coach and teach Jack Hartman’s T-Game basketball offense - Part 2 continued Basic
Basketball Scoring Options The basic scoring options are simple; however, much depends upon #4’s ability to read the defense. Diagram T-3 First Scoring Option - #4 receives the pass from #1 and looks immediately to #5, who is moving from the high post into a good low-post position. If defender 5 is behind #5, as illustrated, #4 passes to #5, who turns either way to score. Most young men can be taught inside moves, to score or be fouled, from the low-post position. Other essential moves in this basic scoring option are as follows: |
| - Wing #3, who moved to a high-post position on the pass to #4, quickly returns to the weak left side for board coverage on the #4 to #5 pass. Should defender 3 leave #3 unguarded to work on #5, with the ball, #3 would be open for an easy scoring opportunity.
- #4 after passing to #5 chop steps waiting on #5’s move to the basket. Should #5 move toward the foul line, #4 moves quickly for rebound coverage along the baseline. Should #5 move to the baseline with the ball, #4 would move to the front of the basket for possible rebound.
- #1 after passing to #4, shallow-cuts to the weak-side, taking a path between the basket and #3, who is moving. Should defender 1 jam #5, #1 would be free for a scoring opportunity on a pass from #5. #1 is in position to resume defense once a shot is taken.
- #2 moves to serve as an outlet for #4. When the #4 to #5 pass is made, #2 may approach the offensive board for a long rebound, or one which may have been batted away.
| 
| - This illustrates the second basic scoring option. Use this when the defender fronts the low-post. This is probably the most often used defense.
- #4 upon receiving the ball from #1 looks inside to see if defender 3 stays in the lane or moves to the high post with #3. If defender 3 follows #3 to the high post, #4 attempts an over-the-top pass to #5. By over-the-top I’m referring to a two-handed overhand pass designed to bypass defender 5’s defection. If the overhead pass is successful, #5 is usually able to score.
- Although we usually do not require rebounds on a lay-up shot, #4, after passing to #5, moves to the basket for that purpose.
- #3 also approaches the basket down the strong-side lane on the #4 to #5 pass.
- #1 after passing to #4, shallow-cuts to the weak-side, taking a path between the basket and #3, who is moving. Should defender 1 jam #5, #1 would be free for a scoring opportunity on a pass from #5. #1 is in position to resume defense once a shot is taken.
- #2 moves to serve as an outlet for #4.
| 
| - If defender 3 stays in the lane to prevent the over-the-top pass to #5, #4 then passes to #3, who is open at the high post.
- #3 could score, or pass to #5 who has sealed and holds off defender 5, for an easy score underneath.
- If #3 decides neither to take the shot, nor pass to #5 underneath, he may pass to #1 on the weak-side.
- #1 may shoot the ball.
- Should #1 elect not to shoot the ball, he can start the pattern all over again on the left side of the floor.
- Or he could start the pattern again on the right side. He’s the quarterback.
