MANY COACHES BELIEVE THAT the best way to attack man defense is through a motion offense. The motion game offers perpetual movement plus excellent screening and cutting opportunities.

At St. Andrews, we have taken the motion game a step farther. Though our main priority is the fast break, we have incorporated a highly effective stack-set halfcourt offense based on motion principles.

Our stack is built around two posts, one above and one below the box. Any time our fast break fails or the break simply is not there we have no reluctance about going to our stack set --so long as we feel our post men can dominate the boxes.

With the back post (#4) basically screening and the front post (#5) playing as a true post, the stack gives us a patterned set that can keep the court spread and provide strong weakside options.

As you can see in the accompanying diagrams, the .stack set allows us to run a patterned offense while observing the principles of the motion game: proper spacing, continuing movement. passing and screening away? screening and rolling, and sound ball movement.
