A Universal Framework to Simplify Your Offense

In this episode of the BAM Coaches Podcast, we break down a simple but powerful framework for evaluating, building, and teaching offense in basketball.

Coleman Ayers introduces a three-part lens: advantage creation, advantage maintenance, and advantage finishing to help coaches cut through the chaos of offensive evaluation. Instead of getting lost in systems, sets, or play calls, this framework allows coaches to clearly identify where their offense is breaking down and why.

The episode dives into practical coaching applications, including how individual skill, spacing, decision-making, and small-sided games all play a role in creating efficient offense. Coleman also explains how this same framework can be flipped defensively, giving coaches a universal tool for both ends of the floor.
