High Box Double Clear Play

By Hoops U.

This out of bounds play sets up in the same type of box formation you have probably used many times. The difference is that it is set up higher so that the players closest to the basket are free throw line high at the elbows. The two 'top' players are now about 5-8 feet outside the three-point line. When the official hands the basketball to 5, 1 and 3 clear from the ballside to the weakside. 3 cuts close enough to use 4 as a screen to potentially lose his man. 3 is the first option for 5. 1 … [Read more...]

Box Reversal to Back Screen

By Hoops U.

In this baseline out of bounds play, four players set up in a box set with a player on each low block and a player on each elbow. The ultimate objective is a close range jump shot or layup but there are a couple of chances for a 3-point shot as well. When the official hands the basketball to 1, 4 slides up and sets a diagonal screen for 3 who cuts to the ballside corner. 1 passes to 3. (If open, 3 can shoot the basketball). Once the pass is inbounded to 3, 5 cuts to the ballside wing by … [Read more...]

Box Diagonal Play

By Hoops U.

This out of bounds play starts out in a box set and utilizes a diagonal backscreen to create a layup opportunity. When the official hands the ball to O1, 4 cuts hard to the corner. 4's defender will usually go with him because he is on the ball side. If 4's defender stays inside, 4 will be open for a jump shot. At the same time, 5 makes the diagonal cut and sets a screen on 2's defender as 2 cuts to the weakside low block. After setting the screen, 5 rolls to the basket on the ball side. If … [Read more...]

Box Pinch Play

By Hoops U.

This baseline out of bounds play creates an open shot opportunity when 2 players set a 'pinch' screen. When the official hands the basketball to O2, O4 cuts between O5 and O1 as they pinch together to not allow his defender to pass through. O4 is the first option. O3 cuts across the lane, then plants and cuts hard toward the basket to become the second option. O1, after setting the pinch screen, should release high to become the safety valve.   … [Read more...]

Box Zone Lob Play

By Hoops U.

This baseline zone out of bounds play is designed to get a lob and is initiated out of a box set. You may even find success with this play against a man-to-man. When the official hands the basketball to O1, O5 makes a hard baseline cut calling for the basketball. O4 sets an up screen for O2 and then looks for the lob pass from O1. O2 uses the screen and cuts hard to the ballside corner while O3 cuts toward half-court acting as the safety valve.   … [Read more...]

High Cross Screen Box BLOB

By Hoops U.

From the box set formation, this baseline out of bounds play utilizes a high cross screen to create an easy shot opportunity. When the official hands the ball to O1, O5 fakes inside as if he's going to receive the pass and then cuts to the corner. O5 sells the cut and O1 should make the pass fake to draw O5's defender out with him. O3 moves toward the defender guarding O2 while calling out 'back screen'. O2 jabs to the sideline, setting up a cross screen by O4 (who is setting a cross screen … [Read more...]

Strong Side Weak Side Box Inbounds Play

By Hoops U.

This baseline out of bounds from a box set can be run against either man or zone defenses. It is really simple to implement and simple to execute. There are two options, either of which can be called so the defense will not be certain which you will execute. Strong Side When the official hands the ball to O2, O5 pops out to the corner. O2 will pass to O5 as O1 cuts to the wing. O5 passes to O1 and sets a downscreen for O2. O1 will pass to O2 for the shot or a possible post entry to O5. If … [Read more...]
