THE BLOCKER/MOVER BASKETBALL OFFENSE PLAYBOOK

Book excerpt: THE BLOCKER/MOVER OFFENSE PLAYBOOK The Blocker Mover offense was developed by Dick Bennett while at the University of Wisconsin Green Bay and then Washington State University. The Blocker/Mover offense later became more popularized recently by his son, head coach Tony Bennett while at the University of Virginia as they won a national championship primarily using the Blocker/Mover offense. The Blocker/Mover offense is a motion offense that has extensive screening and cutting that has players reading and reacting to how the defense is playing them. Players have defined roles; some are "blockers," and some are "movers." The Movers are primarily scorers. They play all over the court, from side to side and top to bottom. A mover looks for a "blocker" to get a screen, then uses the screen correctly, reads the defense and makes the right cut. The Blockers are smart team players who embrace their primary responsibility of setting good screens for movers. After screening, a blocker may set another screen, or in reading the defense, may shape up to the ball or slip the screen for a pass inside and a lay-up.
