This play is a great play to get a shot for your best wing shooter.

Lots of cuts and you pass to your best shooter to start the play.

 

 

3 dribbles to the top and looks for 2 cutting backdoor.

2 fills the strong side corner if he doesn’t receive the backdoor pass.

3 continues dribbling across the top.

 
 

4 cuts backdoor on the dribble at by 3 and then posts up and fills the corner.

The 1 fills the spot left by 4.

As the 4 cuts backdoor, the 5 is sprinting to get an angle for the flare screen for the 3.

 

From this pass and flare action, the 1 will get an angle for the 3 on the flare

This opens up a shot for the three pointer or a drive and kick for the 2.

The 5 player will sprint up and set a ball screen for the 1 player.

The 4 player will relocate to the short wing area, and the 2 player will cut to the block.

 

 

After setting the ball screen, the 5 player will loop out and set a fake single pindown screen for the 3 player (shooter) who will use the screen and then cut to the wing.

This screen will usually force a show (help) by X5 when the shooter comes off the screen.

This sets up the razor screen set by the 2 player.

The 1 player will pass to the 4 player, and the 2 player will set the screen for the 5 player slashing to the rim for the layup or block post up.

If the 5 player is not open, look to pass it to the 2 player at the top of the key.

Their defender (X2) will usually help on the screen, leaving the 2 player open for the jump shot.

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:

These plays with 2 options to finish are taken from the Basketball HoopScoop’s Fred Hoiberg Iowa State Cyclones Playbook (written by Wes Kosel).

 

Iowa State Corner Up #5

Diagrams created with FastDraw

 

2 screens up for 4 who cuts down the lane line to the basket.

If 4 isn’t open, 2 pops out and gets the pass from 1.

 

5 sets a ball-screen for 2 as he catches the pass from 1.

3 moves in from the corner to set a screen for 4.

2 looks to pass to 4 inside for the score.

 

 

If 4 isn’t open, 5 screens down for 3 who cuts to the top of the key for a shot.

 

 

 

Iowa State Corner Up #4

Different way to finish the play without the interior screen

 

2 screens up for 4 who cuts down the lane line to the basket.

After screening for 4, 2 pops out.

1 looks to pass to 4 or pass to 2 up top.

 

 

Once 2 has the ball, 5 sets a ball-screen for 2.

4 slides across the lane as 5 rolls behind him.

2 looks to pass inside to 4 or hit 5 on the roll.

 

 

An idea that perhaps you can tweak and adapt parts of to your zone attack.

The 2 player will flash in from the weak side, looking for the quick jump shot in the paint.

The 2 player also has the option to pass to the 4 or 5 player for the lob layup.

 
 

If the 2 player does not get the shot, he will continue to the wing to set a ball screen for the 3 player.

The ball screen will force the 2 defender help to stop the ball.

The 3 player will dribble the ball to the middle of the court.

 
The 4 and 5 players will step up to their block.

 

The 3 player will draw both X1 and X2 to the ball handler on the ball screen, forcing 2 defenders on the ball.

The offense can now play 4 on 3 against the defense.

 

With the ball in the middle of the floor, the 3 player now has 4 passing options, looking to exploit the 3 backline defenders.

X3 and X4 will usually help big on the 1 and 2 players on the ballscreen action.

If they do help, the 3 player can hit either the 4 or 5 player on the block.

The X5 defender has to defend both players on the block.

 

If the pass goes to the 2 player and the shot is not available, you can play short corner action.

 

 

 

If the pass goes to the 1 player and the shot is not available, you can also play short corner action.
