Free Sample: Princeton Offense System

The system Coach DeForest used to win a state championship in 2011. Read-based, patient, and brutal on bad defenses.

A Read-Based Continuity

The Princeton Offense isn't a set of plays. It's a way of reading the floor. Five players who can pass, cut, and screen become a rotating threat from anywhere — and the defense has to guess right every single possession.

Coach DeForest spent years running his own variation of the Princeton at the high school level. In 2011 his team won a state title with it, and he's been coaching and writing about the system ever since.

What's in the Sample

  • The two foundational entries (high-post and chin)
  • The backdoor cut rule — when it's mandatory, when it's a trap
  • How to read the over-play and the sag at the same time
  • Why the Princeton beats pressure defenses other systems break against

Heads up: Coach DeForest runs a separate site dedicated entirely to the Princeton Offense — coachprincetonbasketball.com. The full system, video breakdowns, and the deeper book live there. This page just gets you the sample chapter for free.
