Mike Rudd,
Glen Burnie (MD) High School Head Coach

"Getting good looks from several spots" is the focus of this DVD on the inside game with Coach Mike Rudd, who believes that "winning starts inside and moves outside." Rudd demonstrates the inside game that has helped his team reach the last three Maryland State Championships. This offense starts in a 2-1-2 set with a post in the high post area. First option is the scissors cut off the high post. The high post cuts to the ball side elbow in option two. Option three is ball reversal through the post. Next, a back screen cut off a double screen releases the cutter for a lay up. An elbow flash is the next option in the middle of the floor for one-on-one opportunities. Ball reversal will create more scoring options and the offense starts over. The iso feature adds another scoring option to the inside game. Against pressure, the circle entry will allow the offense to begin normally. Rudd teaches as he takes players through this offense, stopping them to make adjustments. Benefits of this offense are getting the ball inside and running clock late in the game to preserve a lead.
