Advantages of running the flex offense:

• Can not double point guard
• 15 ft jump shot is worst shot
• Advantages of motion with structure
• Need only one pass to change sides of the floor
• Teaches discipline and ball control
• Players like it
• Good to isolate player on the block
• Difficult to defend
• Difficult to pressure this offense
• Good if you have 5 average size players with equal skill

Disadvantages of running the flex offense:

• Not geared to your best player
• Takes away penetration
• If you can't get it inside, it becomes a jump shot offense
• Often the shot will go up with your key rebounders away from the basket
