Shuffle Offense Basketball Animation

The shuffle offense originated in the early 1950’s by Coach Bruce Drake at Oklahoma, and was subsequently taught by Coach Bob Spear of the United States Air Force Academy, and also Coach Dean Smith of North Carolina. The Air Force Academy had player height restrictions, which often left them without a dominant post player.

The shuffle offense has all five players rotate in each of the five shuffle positions. So this offense would benefit a team that has good ball-handlers but is not blessed with height or a strong dominant post player.

For a detailed description of the offense see the chapter in Dean Smith's book "Multiple Offenses and Defenses". This article below describes some basic concepts of the shuffle.
