Stephen F. Austin State University Head Coach Brad Underwood shares his version of the basketball spread offense, a continuity-based scheme that creates a lot of movement to stress the defense. This scheme is a "position-less offense," which gives the defense different looks based on the different entries that can be used.

Coach Underwood uses a base offense, but sprinkles in some set plays and quick hitter out of this motion scheme. The spread offense uses one post player and four guards that are interchangeable. The Offense is designed to keep moving, and the play never stops.

Brad Underwood’s spread offense forces defenses to guard different actions than they are accustomed to. At its best, his offense can be one of the most effective in college basketball. Just three years ago, Oklahoma State finished the year with KenPom’s No. 1 ranked offense despite a 20-13 record.
