Bo Ryan is one of my favorite coaches in college basketball. He always gets the most out of his teams. I've studied his patented "Swing Offense" to a great degree. He likes to have versatile, skilled players that can execute the offense. The offense involved a lot of back screens, UCLA screens, and handoffs. The following are ten keys for using Wisconsin's Swing Offense.
1. The Swing Offense is based on a numbering system.
2. Get the ball in a high percentage area and into the bonus situation before opponents.
3. Keep three people on the ball side of the floor.
4. Interchange the two players away from the ball in order to take away defensive help. If the defense jams the middle, they use as many skip passes as needed.
5. After catching the ball, perimeter players always look inside first.
6. When interchanging, make basket cuts and never lose sight of the ball.
7. REVERSE THE BALL. - Make the defense work.
8. Take the path of least resistance when cutting off a screen.
9. After setting a screen, step to the ball.
10. Use tandem partners to go away from pressure.
