Basketball Plays

Coach Gillispie shows a quick hitter he has used to bet the ball to the block against a 2-3 zone. At the end of the 3 minute video, he briefly discusses how he uses a player’s defensive ability to determine what role they can play on offense. He uses this to motivate them to improve at the defensive end.

Having taken three different schools to the NCAA Tournament, along with success at the junior college level, Billy Gillispie has developed winning programs everywhere he’s coached. One area where his teams excel is in their execution of set plays against zone defense. In this on-court presentation, Coach Gillispie demonstrates a variety of set plays and wrinkles that can be used to attack zone defenses.

We are providing this drill to give you ideas on how to enhance your current practice drills. The idea is not to implement it exactly as is, but rather to tweak it to make it fit your system.

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

This is a YouTube video, so you will need to be on a network that does not block YouTube videos.

4 Rip

 

Instead of waving 4 through to start the offense, 1 hits 3 on the wing and sets a rip screen for 4 to go into the post.

 

 

 

3 throws it into the post to 4 if he is open.

 

 

 
 

 

The back end of this play is for 3 to hit 1 (after he sets the rip screen for 4) at the top.

5 then sets and immediate high pick and roll for 1.

As 1 comes off the screen, 4 fills behind and 5 rolls to the rim.

 

Counter: Rip SBS

 

1 hits the wing and sets a rip screen for 4.

 

 

 

Instead of going to the post, 4 screens for 3 and they play a 2 man game on the wing.

While this is happening, 1 and 5 are staggering away for 2.
