This is how Coach Weir described the play:

This is a good set to use if you need a 3 during the game or as an ATO.

This is also an easy set to implement when using dribble drive motion.

 

4 cuts through opposite

1 cracks the 3 point line and pitches to the 3

5 moves opposite the 4

 

 

2 cuts blurs into an elevator

3 attacks nail off the blur and kicks to the 4 lifting

 

 

 

4 hits 2 for the shot

 

 

 

These two man to man plays are from the Basketball HoopScoop’s Creighton Bluejays Basketball Playbook.

The book was assembled by Chris Filios

It features 150 pages of information and diagrams about the Creighton philosophy, half court man to man and zone sets, baseline inbounds plays against both man to man and zone defense, and sideliine inbounds plays.

His comments are:

Set play with Spain pick and roll action, followed by reaction against low post strong side trap by Barcelona in the game vs. Fenerbahce.

Editor’s note from Brian: Just some ideas to break apart and use in different parts of your offensive system. More than likely this isn’t going to unfold as this scenario shows, but some good pieces of offensive action to look at.

 

Zipper down screen into a dribble hand off.

 

 

 
 

 

Spain pick and roll action

 

 

 
 

 

High-low OR pass to wing.

 

 

 
 

 

On this occasion, after the post feed is made, the defense packs the paint and X1 traps.

 

 

 

 
4 cuts from top forces X2 to commit to him, 5 passes back to 1. This won’t happen every time against every defense but perhaps it gives you something that you can apply if teams trap your post entries.

 

 

 

Skip pass to 2, X2 can only make a late close-out.
