Basketball Plays

These two San Antonio Spurs secondary break actions are contained in Wes Kosel’s 2014 San Antonio Spurs Playbook.

You might not be able to use them as early offense or exactly as presented, but hopefully there are pieces that you might use to add to what you are currently doing.

The San Antonio Spurs Playbook is combined with the Comprehensive Ball Screen Playbook as the featured eBook bundle of the week.

Secondary Hand-Off #1

1 passes to 3 then cuts in front of 4 to the opposite mid-point area.

3 passes to 4 at the top.

Once 4 has the ball, he dribbles toward 3 to give him the ball on a dribble hand-off.

3 uses the hand-off as a screen and drives middle.

2 moves in from the corner to screen across for 5.

3 looks to score or pass to 5 at the basket.

Secondary Hand-Off #2

1 passes to 4 at the top then moves into the lane.

1 stops in front of 5 and joins 5 in a staggered screen for 2.

4 dribbles toward 3 and can either give him the ball on a dribble hand-off or pass to 2 in the corner for a shot.

If 3 gets the ball, 5 moves up to the opposite elbow and clears out to the corner.

3 passes to 5 then makes a cut to the basket.

5 looks to make the give-and-go pass to 3.

If 3 isn’t open, 5 dribbles across the free-throw line and looks to give the ball to 2 on a dribble hand-off.

2 cuts from the corner off of a screen from 4 to get the ball from 5.

2 looks to score, to 5 rolling, or to 1 in the corner.

Back Screen Elbow

2 Iverson cuts off of 4 and 5.

3 puts head under the rim.

4 and 5 set a staggered screen for 3.

4 sets a back screen for 1.

1 clears to the corner.

2 cuts to the ball side corner.

5 cuts to elbow.

4 sets a middle ball screen for 3.

5 sets a flare screen for 4.

Today’s post are two ideas for short shot clock, quarter, half, or game baseline out of bounds plays against man to man defense.

There might be a part of one of these two plays that you can add in a a wrinkle or a counter to something that you already use.

The numbers are used to distinguish the players on offense and do not have to be viewed as the traditional 1-5 positions.

Place your players in the spots where they can be most effective for the team.

It is also something to have the second group run as you work on defending under out plays that are different from yours in practice.

However you can use them, I hope you find them of value. Regardless of what you run, having the ball under your opponent’s basket is a great place to attack the defense from.

Iran Stagger

3 screens in for 5.

2 passes to 5 who passes to 1.

5 and 3 set a staggered screen for 2.

1 passes to 2 for a shot.

If 2 isn’t open, he moves back down to set a staggered screen with 5 for 3.

After seeing that 2 isn’t open, 1 looks to pass to 4 at the pinch post and loops around looking for the hand-off.

4 can give 1 the ball back on a hand-off or pass to 3 for a shot.

Baylor Tripple Stagger

2 moves first and runs toward 5 as if he is going to cut off of him but instead makes a turn and sets a screen for 3.

3 jabs and cuts around the triple staggered screen from 2, 5, and 4.

1 looks for 3 in the corner for the shot.
 

If 3 isn’t open, he cuts through to the opposite corner.

2 then cuts off of the staggered screen from 5 and 4.

4 rolls to the basket.

5 steps out to the top of the key for a shot or an outlet pass.

The plays are taken from the Men’s Basketball HoopScoop Olympic Playbook.
