Basketball Plays Line 2451 (Tip Layup Play)

By Brian Williams on February 17, 2014

Coach Vonn Read has submitted several plays from his playbook series The Basketball Encyclopedia of Plays to the Coaching Toolbox.

Vonn is the Assistant Coach for the Women’s program at Houston.

He has also served as an assistant coach in the WNBA with the Phoenix Mercury, Orlando Miracle, and San Antonio Silver Stars. He was an advanced scout for the Orlando Magic as well as The Charlotte Sting.

This play is a short seconds inbounds play from underneath the basket.

 

 

 

 

 

 

basketball-plays-line-tip

 

This is a good short clock UOB play against a 2-3 Zone.

The 2 player will cut hard to the corner.

The 4 player will cut hard to the block.

The 1 player will pop out to the wing.

 

basketball-plays-line-tip2

 

The 3 player will pass the ball to the 5 player for the quick shot.

If X5 steps up to guard the 5 player on the pass, the 5 player can jump up to tip the ball to the 3 player stepping inbounds from the baseline for a layup.

The taller the 5 player, the easier the tip pass will be.

Coach Read has also put together The Basketball Encyclopedia of plays. You can check them out here: The Basketball Encyclopedia of Plays or read more about the books:

Basketball Plays Under Out Inbounds Plays

By Brian Williams on January 13, 2014

Maine Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach Zak Boisvert has put together 16 short clips of inbounds plays to run from under the basket. Each play is shown at least twice. I hope you can find one or two that you can use for the end of the season and the post season.

Coach Boisvert has posted several videos of a variety of scenarios–man to man, zone, on ball screens and others. His YouTube channel is: Zak Boisvert You Tube Channel If you are interested in subscribing.

By Brian Williams on December 23, 2013

Coach Vonn Read has submitted several plays from his playbook series The Basketball Encyclopedia of Plays to the Coaching Toolbox.

NBA: Advanced scout for the Orlando Magic
WNBA Assistant Coach with the Phoenix Mercury, Orlando Miracle, and San Antonio Silver Stars.

Run this play when you are inbounding the ball from under your own basket against a 2-3 zone.

 

 

 

 

basketball-plays-line-stack1

 

The 4 player will pop out to the corner for the ball.

The 3 player will cut to the opposite wing.

The 2 player will pop back for the pass from 4.

 

 

basketball-plays-line-stack2

 
The 5 player will step out and screen the forward in the Zone, with the 4 player flashing into the middle of the paint.

The X4 defender will usually fight over the screen, which sets up the play for the shooter.

The 2 player will dribble to the key area to drag the Zone.

 

basketball-plays-line-stack3

 

The 5 player will re-screen the X4 defender with the 1 player coming off the screen for the shot on the wing.

The 2 player can also pass it to the 4 player in the paint, which can result in a High Low Pass to the 5 player for the layup.

 

basketball-plays-line-stack4

 

If the shot is not available for the 1 player, you can pass it to the high post or short corner.
