Utah Valley Sideline Play

By Jeff Osterman

This sideline out of bounds play cycles through several options that can create the potential for a penetration move, a three-pointer, or a backdoor layup. When the official hands the basketball to O1, O4 and O5 set a staggered screen for O3 who may receive the inbounds pass or cut through to the corner. O4 steps out as the safety valve in case O3 is not open. After the staggered screen, O5 sets a downscreen for O2 who will look for the shot. O2 may receive the pass from O1 on the … [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...]

Top Line Sideline Play

By Jeff Osterman

This sideline out of bounds play can be run as a last second option when there are less then 5 seconds to play in the game and you are down by 3 points. O4 inbounds the basketball from the sideline while the other 4 players set up in a line formation near the top of the key. When the official hands the ball to O4, O2 cuts along the line to the ballside wing while O1 flashes toward the basketball. O4 passes to O1. O1, upon receiving the pass, dribbles hard to the weakside. O4 cuts down … [Read more...]

Reversal for 3

By Hoops U.

This sideline out of bounds play is specifically looking for a three-point shot. You might find it useful when starting a half or quarter to get your best shooter an open 3. When the official hands the ball to O2, he looks to pass to O1 or O3 (whichever player pops out high). After passing, O2 cuts toward the baseline and uses a doublescreen set by O4 and O5 to get open for a three-point shot in the corner. While O2 is cutting, O1 is dribbling to the top and then reverses the ball to an open … [Read more...]
