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...]

Three Lane Full Court Play

By Hoops U.

This last second full court play can be run when you have about :05 seconds or more left on the clock and you need to go the full length of the court. It's effective if you have a player capable of penetrating the defense and making a quick decision whether to shoot or pass. Players start as shown in the diagram. O4 should be the best passer. O1 is point guard or best penetrator. O2 and O3 are good shooters. O5 is a good rebounder and finisher at the basket. When the official hands the … [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 :05 Left Play

By Jeff Osterman

As the play name suggests, this play is a good one to have in your basketball playbook for those end-of-game situations where you need to go the full length of the court and there is only about :05 seconds left on the clock. When the official hands the ball to O5, O3 cuts hard toward the ball. O5 passes to O3. O1 cuts across the court as O5 is making the pass to O3. O3, upon receiving the inbounds pass, quickly turns and starts dribbling downcourt. O4 steps up toward the midcourt line and … [Read more...]

3 Lane Full

By Hoops U.

3 Lane Full is a play that can be run when you have about 5-10 seconds left in the game and you are inbounding the ball from under the opposite basket. It should also be run against a team that is giving man-to-man pressure, even if light pressure. You also need to have a quick point guard that can handle the ball and make good, quick decisions. Players line up as shown, with three players filling each lane and one player all the way under the basket. When the official hands the ball to O4, O1 … [Read more...]

Two Screen, Two Pass Fullcourt Play

By Hoops U.

Half Court Trap Attack Offense

This play is designed for an end-of-game situation when there is no time for dribbling but only time for two quick passes and a shot. The players begin in a box formation as shown. Generally, O4 will be your best long passer and O2 will be your best shooter. O4 and O5 begin at midcourt facing the inbounder, O3, and wide of the center circle. O2 and O1 stand at least 10 feet in front of O4 and O5, also facing O3. When the official hands the ball to O3, O2 and O1 step toward O3 as if they are … [Read more...]
