Wildcat Offense

• We want seven “attackers” in the offensive end, players who attack—“it’s going to take two to stop me.” The reality—not all players have that ability or mindset right away.

• Therefore, we have “initiators” and “reactors.”“Initiators”—can beat most defenders and have

the ability to read a defense. “Reactors”—good without the ball, can create

space, screen, cut for a pass and shoot.
