2. Every continuity zone offense used must possess the ability to flow seamlessly and quickly from any phase of the overall zone attack into the next phase of attack. With the zone offense not requiring or using any lapse in time for reorganization also means the zone defense will not have that same opportunity either. Each continuity zone offense used will give the opposition’s defense no time to recover or adjust from the offense’s previous phase of attack—whether it is from the from a secondary break phase, a quick-hitting phase or baseline/sideline out-of-bounds play phases. With the offense having the capabilities of quick, smooth and fluid conversions into the continuity offense should give the offense a huge advantage over the opposition’s zone defense. Each continuity zone offense must have a fluid transition from any phase of its overall attack into the actual continuity zone offense. The opposition has NO time or the ability to reorganize their defense before the offense’s next phase of attack begins.
3. A fundamentally sound philosophy is to not rely primarily on one type of scoring method or count on just one or two players or a specific style of attack. Depending solely on one or two players by having the offense always run through them with all plays/entries designed just for them is a dangerous presumption that the player(s) will always produce and score. Why not have a philosophy that incorporates three or four plays that are designed for three or four different players. Those plays are created to fit those specific players’ strongest skills and then highlight those skills. That way, the offense is not solely depending on that one star player. That star player possibly could fail to produce because of the opposition’s defense geared to stop him or he could simply just have a bad night. The star’s performance could be affected by a lack of playing time because of various reasons such as an injury, an illness, foul trouble, or discipline problems. If that player is neutralized, the team offense can move on to other players that have their strongest skills able to be utilized by carefully designed plays that give that player opportunities to succeed. In addition to creating plays to fit their strengths, these plays must have the capabilities of smoothly flowing into the desired continuity offense. Not relying on one or two players makes the offensive attack more diversified and less predictable and therefore more successful.
