Breakout SLOB Play

By Hoops U.

This sideline out of bounds play is intended to get a scoring attempt when there are but just a few seconds left on the clock. It will also work quite well against a defense that is up and pressuring/denying. When the official hands the basketball to O3, O4 and O5 flash hard into the backcourt. O2 turns and sets a screen for O1, and then rolls back to the passer. O1 cuts hard to the screener and then goes deep. O3 looks to pass to O1 on the breakout. Coaching Tip: We think of getting a last … [Read more...]

Irish Sideline Play

By Michael Lang

This sideline out of bounds play is designed to get an easy basket when one is needed at the end of a game. In this setup, the defense will need to be giving some pressure and not 'packing' it in inside the three-point area. When the official hands the basketball to O3, O4, O2, and O1 cut away from their basket into the backcourt. O5 posts up on the ballside low block. O3 passes to O5 and then cuts right to the front of the rim. O5 passes to O3 for the layup. NOTE: If the defense does not … [Read more...]

Triple Double Sideline Play

By Hoops U.

The Triple Double Sideline out of bounds play can be useful when you want a jump shot from the inbounds play. It also has the potential to be a possible last second play for you because it opens up for a quick catch and shoot. The decoy triple screen into using a double screen often creates an open mid-range jumper as well. When the official hands the basketball to O3, O1 starts up toward the triple screen and then cuts hard to the corner. O2, O4, and O5 should be taking a few steps down … [Read more...]

High Stack Cut Option

By Hoops U.

The High Stack Cut Option is a sideline out of bounds play designed to get the ball to your shooter for a 3-point shot. This play can be useful in last second situations or when you simply want a 3-point attempt. It is only effective against a man-to-man defense. To run this sideline play, O4 and O5 set up above the free throw line extended and near the three-point line. O2 and O1 are stacked about midway between the top of the key and the halfcourt line. The shooter, in this diagram O2, … [Read more...]

Weakside Sideline Play

By Jeff Osterman

The Weakside Sideline Play is a great sideline inbounds play that will also serve you well to run as a last second scoring play from the sideline. The players line up as shown in the diagram above. Three players, O4, O2, and O3 line up on the weakside while O5 starts on the ballside elbow. O1 is the inbounds passer. When the official hands the basketball to O1, O3 slides down and O5 slides over to set a screen for O2. O2 curls around the staggered screen and cuts toward the ballside corner. … [Read more...]

Last Second Sidecourt X-Out Plays

By Hoops U.

When a team is behind by three or fewer points and has a time out in a last possession situation, specific issues may arise. The biggest concern is getting the ball to the player who has the best chance of making the play. Coaches must keep in mind that whatever play is run must work against all types of defenses. Therefore, if the defense denies the player who is supposed to receive the pass, the other players must be alert and available for the inbounds pass. If the game clock shows 4 seconds … [Read more...]

Box Lob Double

By Hoops U.

Use this frontcourt, side out-of-bounds play when you will be making the inbounds pass from the key to free throw line area (because of the potential lob pass). This may also be useful in the last seconds of a game, half or quarter. The players will line up in a box set, as shown. O5 and O2 are on the low blocks and O4 and O1 are at the elbows. Ideally, O4 should be a good jumper because of the lob designed for him; if he/she is not a leaper, that may be fine if the backscreen is set and used … [Read more...]
