In this episode, we discuss the process of creating an offensive system in basketball. We emphasize the importance of understanding your team's current personnel and balancing it with the system you want to run. I share examples of how my offensive identity shifted based on the strengths of his players each season. I also explore different aspects of an offensive system, such as playing fast or slow, transition offense, half-court offense, and offensive rebounding philosophy. I conclude by highlighting the significance of skill development in aligning with the offensive system.
