Ive always been taught they are the same thing

They are different but very similar. The flex is a continuity offense that utilizes back screens and is a timing offense. The basic flex has 3 guys (triangle) on 1 side of floor and 2 on the weak side all spaced. There are tons of quick hitters or variations you can run out of the flex though. But the basic flex has set rules and you can run it with either down screens or back screens.

The common areas between both is they both always have a triangle on the strong side and both are a 4 out 1 in offense. They both also have all 5 players that can end up on the inside and outside in all positions on the floor. The original set up is a bit different and spacing is a bit higher in the swing offense though. In the swing you will see back screens, flares, and weak side interchanges a bit more as well as more ball screens.

Both have continuity and some same basic principles and can look the same depending on reads or calls you make within the play itself. Though somewhat similar in areas they are also very different. You could also say the same thing and see some common areas with the triangle too depending how you run it.



Edit: here is a link of basic motion offenses and you can see the basic differences between the two... http://www.hoopsu.com/basketball-pla...-offense-sets/

Looks great. I'd just like to know if it's implemented into old gen as well or was it omitted?
