Duke Spread Basketball Offense

Spread Offense Used by Duke University

Coach K adjusted his coaching style during the 2008 season to match his teams strengths.  He did so by spreading the floor and letting his players try to create offense off the dribble.  He refers to this offense as his spread set which took advantage his teams quick guards and excellent three point shooters.  The spread basketball offense can be very helpful for teams without a strong inside player.

One of the most important aspects of Duke's Spread Offense is player spacing.  I've included a new video from ESPN with Coach Bob Knight explaining the concept of proper spacing.  Coach Knight does a great job of breaking down the Duke Spread Offense.  Click the play button to watch the animated basketball play.
