I heard Dean Smith used to run the "Shuffle" offense before he had anybody with legitimate size at UNC. Does anyone run the shuffle anymore? Are there any videos?

It seems like some of the triangle alignments and movements resemble the shuffle. Does anyone know enough about these offenses to compare/contrast them for me?

Coach,

Try out this site. It details the basic movement and options of the shuffle offense.

I really like that information. I have seen the Xs and Os of the offense. And even used it at the H.S. level. However, I would really like to watch someone else teach it, so I can gain some of the little points of emphasis that others have found to be important. I will have to get Dean Smith's book. The site you gave says he has a chapter in it on the shuffle. Do you know of any teams that currently run the shuffle? or videos that show these points of emphasis, and the timing of the cuts?

I used a variation of the shuffle that keeps the post coming back to the ball in the mid-post area, and rotates the other 4 guys around. I had a 7 footer, and nobody else over 6-3 on a high school team. Now I have a small college team, and I don't have anyone over 6-4 at all. So I wanted to go back to something that has been used effectively with teams that don't have any size.

I have about six. Please contact me and a little about your team or and/philosophy.

Visit www.coach-jackson.com for Shuffle information.

I would like to run the shuffle at the high school level. A few years ago I ran a variation of the shuffle and would like to run it with girls next year.

Dean Smiths book is very detailed and there are actually 2 chapters about the shuffle one by him and one by his coach at air force that taught him thr shuffle. If you can combine the shuffle and the triangle offense I think it can be very effective. My team basically runs the shuffle and we score off the triangle offense action since it is the same alignments. So my thoughts would be to again run the shuffle for continunity and run the triangle offense for scoring options and looking for mismatches.

Coaches,

Dean Smith also has produced a DVD recently on the Shuffle Offense that has been a customer favorite:
