My intent with the posts that I make is not to say that the play should be run as it.

The hope is that you will get some ideas of ways that you can add or change what you currently do that will fit your personnel, your philosophy, and your system.

 

 

2 walks his defender in and cuts around 4 and 5 to the middle of the lane.

As 2 gets around 5, 5 will pop out for the entry short corner.

 

 
 

 

1 receives a hand-off from 5 and dribbles out.

 

 

 

 
 

 

As 1 begins to dribble up after receiving the hand-off, 3 is sprinting into a flare screen for the 4.

5 is setting a down screen for 2 sprinting out corner.

 

This man to man play was contributed by Dave Nedbalek, Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach at The University of Texas at Tyler, to the FastModel Sports Basketball Plays and Drills Library.

These are Coach Nedbalek’s comments on the play.

The Louisville women’s basketball team is a 1-seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Coach Jeff Walz runs some terrific box sets.

This is a really good three point set, that also features the ability to throw the ball inside.

They ran this in their second round game against Michigan.

This man to man play was contributed by Dave Nedbalek, Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach at The University of Texas at Tyler, to the FastModel Sports Basketball Plays and Drills Library.

This is what Coach Nedbalek had to say about the play:

This set involves a great amount of false motion that can easily be used to create scoring opportunities if you look to exploit any missteps. Have your players not rush the backdoor cuts especially on the weak side opposite of the big as this is a viable scoring cut.

If there are any miscues on the hand offs the ball handler can easily fake the handoff and have a wide open lane to the rim.

There are lot of great counters you could run out of this such as turn the last backdoor cut into a smash cut or even cross screen for a throwback post feed.

These were Coach Nedbalek’s comments on the play:

This is a great set to overload the defense.

We teach our guys daily to create triangles against the zone.

This set puts the defense in a bind of who to guard.

There is a short video after the diagrams.

These were Coach Nedbalek’s comments on the play:

This is an incredibly hard set to guard.

Great action leading to an empty middle ball screen and if 1’s defender is tagging the pick and roll like he should be, 1 will either be open on the throwback or 5 will be wide open at the rim.

See the video below.

Highly recommend watching Coach Few’s teams play with scratch paper handy or FastDraw open!
