These 3 actions for getting open for a late game 3 point shot are taken from Coach Keith Dambrot–Head Men’s Coach at Duquense (previously a Akron)

There is sound with the video, so please make sure that your sound is on.

The video is hosted on You Tube, so you will need to be on a network that allows you to access that site.

The videos are from the Championship Productions You Tube Channel..

You might be able to use the actions for other situations such as if you are having trouble entering the ball to the wing for other movements that you are using.

If nothing else, I hope this video stimulates some thought as to what adjustments you can make to your actions and how they are defended late in the game when you want to get a player open for a three point shot.

Double Screen and Flare

This play will isolate the post player on a duck i

It is difficult to defend because of the movement.

The play begins with a wing pass from the guard and cut.

 

3 stays a bit more flat on the dribble and looks for 2 cutting backdoor.

2 fills the strong side corner as always. 3 passes to 4

 

 
 

On the pass to 4, 3 screens down for 5.

5 comes off the screen for the pass from 4.

1 walks up to the FT line extended on the weak side.

 

 

5 executes a dribble hand off with the 2.

At the same time the 3 is shaping up to set a ball screen for 2 right after the dribble hand off.

 

 
 

A great counter for midline teams or sagging defensive teams, the 4 will be open off the flare screen set by 1.

1 also flashes to the ball after the screen.

 

 
 

5 will follow the ball for the flare screen on the pass from 2 to 4 if no shot is available.

Same options as CHIN. Dribble up to reset the offense

 

 

Army Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach Zak Boisvert has put together some short clips of one of Oregon’s Dana Altman’s Zone Attack.

There are several other man and zone sets on this video.

The point is not a “highlight” tape, but the movements to get shots. Several of the teams miss the shots in the video of the set they are running.

Coach said this about the video:

“Very simple, but allows your talented perimeter players opportunities to make plays within the gaps of the zone. If you can occupy the 4 defenders with the 3-man rotation, you have a 2-on-1 along the baseline for your post players.”

Coach Boisvert has posted several videos of some of the better schemes he has seen. His YouTube channel is: Zak Boisvert You Tube Channel

He also is also very active on Twitter: @ZakBoisvert

He has an outstanding resource site for coaches. You can access it here: PickandPop.net

The videos are hosted on YouTube, so please make sure that the network you are on provides YouTube Access.
