For coaches who run the flex offense here is a good list to consider.

Advantages of Running the Flex Offense
1. Can not double the point guard
2. 15 ft jump shot is the worst shot
3. Advantages of motion with structure
4. Need only one pass to change sides of the floor
5. Teaches discipline and ball control
6. Players like it
7. Good to isolate players on the block
8. Difficult to defend
9. Difficult to pressure this offense
10. Good if you have 5 average size players with equal skill

Disadvantages of Running the Flex Offense
1. Not geared to your best player
2. Takes away penetration
3. If you can't get it inside, it becomes a jump shot offense
4. Often the shot will go up with your key rebounders away from the basket

How often do you see this run? I can't remember the last time I saw anyone run the flex.
