Double Quick 3 Inbounds Play

By Hoops U.

This play is designed to generate a quick jump shot for a three-point attempt. Best against a man-to-man, it can also be run against a zone defense. O4, O2 and O5 set up at the free throw line. O3 starts on the ballside low block. When the official hands the ball to O1, O3 cuts to an open area on the ballside wing. On the pass from O1 to O3, O4 and O5 step into the lane, forming a double screen for O2. O2 steps back to the top of the key. O3 passes to O2 for a jump shot. NOTE: … [Read more...]

By Hoops U.

Use this baseline inbounds play against a zone to get a 3-point shot or if the defense over-commits, an entry pass inside for a short jumper or layup. When the official hands the basketball to O2, O5 cuts out to the corner and O1 steps to the wing (maybe even sealing off the outside defender). O2 can make the pass to either player. If O5 receives the inbounds pass, he passes to O1 who reverses to O3. If O1 receives the inbounds pass, he immediately reverses to O3. O3 should pass … [Read more...]

Shrink Play

By Hoops U.

'Shrink' is a baseline out of bounds play you can run against zone defenses. This play forces the defense to collapse, thereby opening up a 3-point shot attempt. O5, O4, and O3 form a stack or line near the free throw lane. O2 spots up in the weakside corner for a pass from the inbounder, O1. When the official hands the basketball to O1, O5 and O4 cut into the open gaps near the basket at the base of the zone. O3 cuts to the open area in the middle of the zone. The cuts of O5, O4, and O3 … [Read more...]
