An out-of-bounds series that allows the players to make a swift and smooth transition into the shuffle offense

I have always believed that innovative coaches will build their out-of-bounds plays right into their basic continuity, enabling the players to make a smooth transition into their regular offense.

As a former manager at North Carolina, I had the opportunity to observe how Dean Smith modified Bob Spear's shuffle offense to produce high-percentage shots.

The offense was built around five interchangeable spots on the floor, and everyone on the team had to learn every spot and every cut in the options.

As a coach later on, I found that none of my out-of-bounds plays blended in well with the shuffle offense. It was necessary to design an out-of-bounds series that would allow the players to move into the shuffle quickly and efficiently.
