REBEL OFFENSIVE FOCUS AND PHILOSOPHY

The aggressive, attacking demeanor we demonstrate at the defensive end will also be our attitude on offense. From the instant we gain possession of the ball we want to be the aggressor and make the defense react to us. We will be a fastbreak first offense. We don't want to allow the defense to get settled in so we will attack every time with a primary break.
When teams respond to our aggressiveness by hustling back on D, we will continue our attack with a secondary break designed to create a quick, high percentage shot. In the event that we must execute our motion or zone offense in the half court, we will do so in an equally agressive manner by setting a number of screens with quick ball movement.
Other important offensive principles:
1. Set good screens all of the time
     I am convinced that setting good, aggressive screens is the most important component of productive offense. This will require our players to be physical. If you're not comfortable being physical, you'd better learn.
     Someone that sets a good screen leading to a score by their teammate should feel just as good as the person that scored. We will applaud the screener as much as the scorer. Good screens equal good offense!
2. Always be a threat with the ball
     Defenders cannot play us as aggressively if we do two things consistently. First, do not give up your dribble unless you are going to get something out of it. You should only dribble to get a better angle on a pass, to create a better shot for yourself, or to avoid a five second call. Many players have a habit of dribbling as soon as they get the ball. We want to use our dribble wisely because once our dribble is dead, teams can play us as aggressively as we want to play them.
     Second, avoid holding the ball over your head. There is only one thing you can do from that position (pass) and the defender knows it. We want to remain in triple threat position as much as possible. That means having the ball down by our side so we can pass, dribble, or shoot.
3. Move without the ball
     Good shots don't come when everyone is standing around. Be hard to gaurd! Cutting or screening when you don't have the ball will make the defense move and cause a breakdown, leading to a better shot for you or a teammate.
4. Recognize when and when not to shoot in transition
     We want to push the ball up the floor and take advantage of slow or lazy defensive teams. When we run our fast break, it is the job of the point guard (also called the 1) or whomever has the ball, to attack the basket, pass ahead to an open teammate, or decide that we don't have a numbers advantage and slow it down to execute our half court offense.
5. Be patient in the half court offense
     Good shot selection is one of the most crucial aspects of good offensive basketball. We never want to force a shot for the sake of shooting. We must be willing to set several screens and make several passes if that's what it takes to create a defensive breakdown and a high percentage shot.
6. Get to the line and concentrate on free throws
     Because we will be a physical team, we should expect to make frequent trips to the free throw line. Success at the free throw line eminates from concentration and repetition. Develop a routine, focus your eyes on the rim, and keep your hand up maintaining your follow through until the ball hits the rim or goes in. And do these things every time.
     Several studies have shown that the team that attempts (not makes) the most free throws in a game wins over 70% of the time. Let's be the team attempting the most free throws 100% of the time. Be physical and aggressive on offense!
