Digital Playbook: Open

Open is a variation of our Motion Offense.

Open is best used in the following situations:

1. We are playing against a team that switches all screens.

2. We are looking to enter into a soft delay game.

3. Our regular Motion is getting stagnant and we need to create more consistent movement.

Below are the the rules for Open:

1. No screens should be set, unless you're filling to an occupied corner after a cut to the rim and you need to back screen your way out to maintain floor balance.

2. Every time you pass the ball, you make a basket cut or thru cut.

3. Maintain proper spacing by filling the designated Motion spots.

4. The best scoring opportunities will be drives, kicks, basket cuts, back door cuts, and ball reversals for open looks.

5. Role defined players (i.e. cut and seal, ball screeners, etc.) may still complete their designated actions

6. Circle movement rules are still followed on all drives. 

7. Note: You can also run Open in a 41 alignment
