Full Court Double X Play

By Hoops U.

In the event you need to get a quick score while taking the basketball out of bounds from your backcourt baseline, "Double X" is a nice play to get the ball inbounds. It should give a player the chance to get open to receive the pass. If you run this with at :03 seconds on the clock, you'll also give that player time to make a quick move and/or pass to create a solid scoring opportunity. O3 takes the ball out of bounds. O4 and O5 start on the free throw line and O1 and O2 start on the low … [Read more...]

Full Court Line Play

By Hoops U.

This last second full court play should be run against a man-to-man full court pressure defense. It won't be very effective against a full court zone defense or if the opposing team is simply playing half court defense. Three players form a line along the free throw lane. One player starts near the midcourt line and, of course, one player takes the ball out of bounds. O2 should be your best passer -- at least someone capable of throwing a baseball pass. O3 should be a quick player that is not … [Read more...]

Full Court "Valpo" Play

By Hoops U.

This last second full court play can be useful when there are only about 2-5 seconds left on the clock. It is also the play run by Valparaiso in which Bryce Drew hit a last-second three-pointer to upset Mississippi in the 1998 NCAA tournament. Watch the play first ... then check out the diagram of it below the video player. The Play: The best passer will inbound the basketball (O4). O5 makes a hard cut and sprints from the left block to the top of the key area. O1 v-cuts and then sprints up … [Read more...]

Fake and Go Play

By Hoops U.

Overview: The fake-and-go is a play to run at the end of a half or game when you need to go the full length of the court and there is only about 2-4 seconds left on the clock. This play gives several options instead of simply throwing a 'hail mary' pass and hoping that it's caught! The Play: This play requires you have a player (O4 in this diagram) that can throw the long baseball pass. It also helps to have two good shooters (O2 and O3) and a big (O5) who will set the screen at … [Read more...]

Step-Out Bomb Play

By Hoops U.

This last second play can be utilized ONLY when following a score when a team is permitted to run the baseline. The 'Step-Out Bomb' play is great to use when the defensive team is desperate to get the basketball and will all-out gamble to get it. It will also only work when all 5 defenders are in a full court man-to-man press. Coaches, make sure to practice this play so that you know which players can play which position. The player making the pass should be skilled at throwing the long … [Read more...]

Full Court Touchdown Play

By Hoops U.

Full Court Touchdown Play

1) TOUCHDOWN PLAY This play is run from the far end line against a man-to-man defense. It starts with all five offensive players in the back court. This play is especially good when 1's defender guards closely, as well as all defenders. As 1 receives the ball from the official, 2 steps out of bounds. 1 throws the ball cross court (out of bounds) to 2. Then, the middle player near halfcourt, 4, moves forward and screens 1's defender. 1 runs as fast as she can downcourt and receives a long pass … [Read more...]
