- Fun for your players — individuals play to their strengths
A Coach Who Has Walked in Your Shoes
Coach Nate Steege has been in your shoes. All of the above reasons are why he created The Zoom Offense — Conceptual Basketball that solved those problems for his team.
He wanted to take elite level scoring actions being used at the College and NBA level and implement them into an offensive system that could be used to win championships at ANY level.
His offense creates players who are laser focused on creating, keeping, and scoring off an advantage… which is something most offenses can't say!
For 23 years he has been at Waverly-Shell Rock HS — the last 17 as Head Varsity Coach.
Coach Steege has been a part of 10 State Tournament Appearances including:
- 1 Fourth Place Finish
- 2 Third Place Finishes
- 2 Runner-Up Finishes
- 2 STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS
And by creating this new offense…
Coach Steege's Already Successful Teams Have Seen an Increase In
FG %
39.8% → 48.5%
3 point %
34.3% → 39.8%
Effective FG %
48.3% → 58.3%
Assisted FG %
51.2% → 64.8%
Points per game
50.1 → 68.9
Points per possession
.92 → 1.12
230
…and a school record for 3's made in a season
Prior to implementing this offense, Coach Steege would tell you they needed to win games defensively… and their offense was mediocre, at best. But that has all since changed. Take it from his peers:
"Coaching against Nate Steege's teams is a nightmare, they are well-coached, well prepared, and almost impossible to scout offensively…"

9 Advantages to Zoom Conceptual Offense
01
Adaptability for Different Age Levels
For younger levels or teams just learning the system, it can be a semi-continuity offense, guiding them as they learn to make the proper reads. The offense progresses to one with complete freedom as players learn the reads off of each action.
02
Adjust to Your Team's Strengths
No more changing offenses year to year! Strong guard play? They become the focus. Good post player? The offense can run through them. Coach Steege even shows you what to do with non-shooters to make sure they are a threat.
03
Complex to Defend but Simple to Install
Watching the variation of actions, you may think "this is too complex for me." The opposite is true. Coach Steege breaks the actions down into simple, easy reads — then teaches your team through drills how to keep and score from the advantage.
04
Creates Players Not Robots
Patterned offenses can create robots — even motion offenses become robotic at times, with players passing and cutting without looking to create an advantage. This system creates aggressive players who attack the basket.
05
Create and Play from an Advantage
Why do Coach Steege's teams shoot a high % from the floor? Simple — his players take shots from advantageous situations, off both big and small advantages over the defense. More open shots lead to shooting a higher %.
06
Attacking / Downhill Offense
Most coaches are frustrated when players don't attack and get downhill. The entire focus here is running an action that gets your players downhill into the paint — and it becomes second nature, because it's their focus at the start of every possession.
07
Don't Need Great Athletes
The actions don't rely on one player beating a defender 1-on-1. In many cases the offensive player is screened before they take a dribble handoff — or they cut to the opposite side, spring off a screen, take a pitch and look to get into the paint.
08
Freedom (and Fun)
This offense lets your players be creative. As soon as they're comfortable, they become more creative and more explosive — because they won't be thinking, they'll be attacking. All players enjoy a system where they can play freely.
09
Tough to Guard, Almost Impossible to Scout
There is no discernable pattern to try to stop you. Period. Actions take place from different locations, with different players, and they result in playing advantage basketball.
"Although it may look complex at times, it's really quite simple. The actions are simple, the teaching points are simple and clear cut — it becomes a matter of teaching timing and spacing, but the offense is not overly complicated!"— Coach Nate Steege
Common sense approach to offense
In a Nutshell, This Offense Is Designed to…
Besides all of the benefits above, most importantly, this offense takes a common sense approach to scoring.
1
Create an Offensive Advantage
By attacking through one of the actions.
2
Keep the Offensive Advantage
By moving the ball and continuing the attack.
3
Get a HIGH % Shot
Because players are shooting from an advantage.
Coach Steege's hard lesson with advantage basketball
Don't Just Put Your Players in Advantage Situations — Teach Them How to Score from Advantages
If you have an offense that constantly creates advantages, that's great! However, Coach Steege found out the hard way that you need to teach players HOW to score out of those advantages. Many players didn't know how to best capitalize on the advantage.
And when Coach Steege made this adjustment, his Zoom offense took off.
Combine creating the advantage with teaching your players how to utilize it, and you'll have a team that:
- > Shoots a higher FG %
- > Shoots a higher 3 point %
- > Increases their points per possession
That is the entire focus and design of the Zoom Conceptual Offense.
Dirty Work Done for You
Through YEARS of trial and error, Coach Steege has found what works best — including:
- > Actions that work best on the 2 side and 3 side of the offense
- > The best way to teach and implement the offense
- > A modification of the offense for lower-level teams (middle school and JV)
- > The best ways to attack various defensive strategies
- > Breakdown drills — implementing the actions, the vital skills, playing from an advantage, and keeping and scoring from it
- > Challenges you'll face and how to overcome them
- > Early mistakes he made implementing this offense (and how to avoid them)
- > Tips learned over the years — including how to best use non-shooters
Why Use a Conceptual Offense?
A conceptual offense means that players learn to:
- > Make high IQ reads
- > Play with pace
- > Make QUICK "zero second" decisions
- > Create space and play in space
- > Score off the small or large advantage they created
Basically, conceptual offenses teach players how to play basketball — not basketball plays.
When taught right, they give defenses a fit. They are almost impossible to scout and prepare for, and they are aggressive — keeping the defense on their heels.
One size doesn't fit all — and here's the solution
1 System → 2 Offenses
When you're in charge of a program that spans youth levels through high caliber varsity players, you realize you have to teach lower level players slightly differently at times. That's why Coach Steege has 2 offenses within his Zoom Conceptual System.
2 Zoom Flow
Middle school on up
More structured for younger players, or for teams just beginning to implement this offense. A great place for any team to start — everything in 2 Zoom Flow is a great teaching tool of the system, and it builds into the next level of the offense.
1 Zoom Flow
Varsity level
This variation simply has the most freedom for players and unharnesses the true benefits of a conceptual offense.
How Motion Offense Coaches Implement the Zoom
To what degree is up to you. Some motion coaches use the zoom action as a piece of their motion, running it throughout the game to mix up the looks and keep the defense off balance.
Some motion coaches, like Coach Steege, have gone to the zoom as their base or primary action — so almost every possession starts with the zoom action.
Whatever direction you choose, Coach Steege shows you how to BETTER run the zoom action with breakdown drills. He shows you how to correct and when to correct — and even how to simplify it if you don't want to make it your primary action at first.
That way, you give your offense a boost and score more points — no matter how much you utilize the zoom action.

"Finally! I've been waiting forever for a thorough video over a conceptual offense and this video EXCEEDS my expectation. Coach is VERY thorough in his teaching, and I feel like he gave me all of the secrets to making the offense work. I love the fact that he gives you problems you will face ahead of time. I couldn't be happier with the product."

"I'll keep this short and to the point — this video is a must-have for any coach looking to modernize their offense with a conceptual-based one. All of the whiteboard and on-court actions are very simple and clear to understand, with lots of examples. The offensive sets and breakdown drills round out a great video."
Cam S. · Nebraska

"The video breaks down the intricacies of the Zoom action with clear, detailed explanations, making it easy to understand and implement at any level. We ran this as our primary offense (8th grade level) and it helped us win 9 tournaments in 2 years."
Shawn Bates · Mayer, MN
★★★★★
"This is a really thought out product that allows full install of this Flow System. Seems like they have thought of everything. The overall product is better than many dvds I have bought over the years. Just tons of information."
Rob Graf
Literally only way to improve this is for Coach to provide an email or contact information for questions. I don’t necessarily think that’s reasonable. It is so well done I don’t think it could be improved much at all.
Genuinely appreciate the work it took to make this product and wish coach the best of luck.
Explained clearly.
The video has helped me immensely to understand how to use certain actions to create shots.
I would love to see a video of this against some zone defenses to see what it looks like or if there is any modfications.
Great customer service.
This is something I'd like to install with my next coaching opportunity.
