I have always preferred Motion Offense.
While it might be easier to just run a few set plays...if you are patient and adopt a sound philosophy you can be incredibly successful utilizing a motion offense.
It's difficult to scout, versatile, produces high percentage shots, allows you to control tempo and in my opinion, players grow and develop more in this offense.
The thing about motion offense is that it can take many forms with different rules, alignments and player responsibilities.
No matter what form of motion you choose to run...It takes a lot of good coaching to get your team to run it effectively
