This baseline out of bounds playis best run against zone defenses. The initial action creates a lob opportunity that, if unavailable, leads into two downscreens to create an open shot. When the official hands the basketball to O1, O4 pops out to the ballside corner. O3 fades behind the zone on the weak side and...
I love to attack on offense and defense and an out of bounds situation is not a reason to slow down. Many teams we play try to pressure the sideline inbound situations. This gives us a chance to attack the basket. We use two different plays in this situation. Line Movement begins when the referee...
Heres an excellent sideline out of bounds play that runs a cutter behind a decoy cutter to receive the inbounds pass. This initiates a pick-and-roll option that creates a dribble-drive opportunity with multiple passing options in case of help rotation. The players set up as shown in the diagram. When the official hands the basketball...
This simple baseline out of bounds play is often quite effective at getting a layup. When the official hands the basketball to O1, O3 cuts to opposite side of lane and screens O5s defender. (O3 should also turn to basket as he sets the screen). O5 runs his defender into O3 and then cuts across...
This is a series of inbounds plays out of a ball side elbow stack and backside flat look. I call it Boston because one of the sets came from watching the Celtics and another came from watching Boston College. It just made sense! The first three sets we ran this year at the B-Squad (Sophomore)...
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...
This sideline out of bounds play starts in a box set formation and uses both a flex cut and flare cut option to create a scoring opportunity. O2 takes the basketball out of bounds while the other four teammates set up in a box formation around the lane. O5 sets a downscreen for O1 and...
From a doublestack formation at the elbow areas, inside and outside scoring options are both created. Players line up in a double stack formation at the elbows. When the official hands the basketball to O3, O1 and O4 step into the lane and set a doublescreen for O2 who cuts off the screen and out...
From the box set, this out of bounds play gives the inbounds passer options of passing to each teammate. The main goal, however, is a screen-the-screener action to create a layup. When the official hands the basketball to O1, O5 sets an upscreen for O2 who cuts out to the weakside corner. O4 steps into...
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...
