SLOBs

A good play if you need a basket with little time left on the shot clock.

Northern Iowa ran this and got a good look for a three-pointer with 1 second left on the shot clock.

It has three progressions. Posted by Lucas Shapiro.

This play was posted in the FastModel Sports Basketball Plays and Drills Library

Note: The numbers are to distinguish between the 5 different players on the floor, not to say that you have to put a traditional “5” player (i.e. center or post player), or a traditional “4” player (i.e. power forward) in those spots if you run the play. If you need a 3 point shot, at the end the game, IMO it is better to put 5 players who are dressed for the game that give you the best chance of accomplishing that.

Note #2: The purpose of this post is not to say that you should run this exact play.

But, I hope it does motivate some discussion and thinking among your coaching staff as to how you can possibly incorporate some of the actions in this play to your team’s end of game situations, or as to what you can do to counter teams that switch everything at the end of the game in this situation.

Many of the players have changed teams. The point of the post is to give you ideas on ways that you can put your players in positions to be successful.

OKC End of Game SLOB

This play was contributed by former Florida Graduate Assistant and current Fort Myers High School Boys Assistant Kyle Gilreath.

Billy Donovan drew up this ATO with under 10 seconds remaining as the Oklahoma City Thunder trailed by 3 at Orlando. If you’ve followed Coach Donovan for years, you know he loves screen the screener actions for his best players.

Durant screens 2 (Augustine) to the corner as 1 (Westbrook) screens 5 (Adams) into a pindown for Durant.

The play was submitted to FastModel by Andreas Barthel.

The idea of the play is to use it at the end of a game when you need a 3 point basket.

It is a triple decoy play that forces numerous switches.

Note: The numbers are to distinguish between the 5 different players on the floor, not to say that you have to put a traditional “5” player (i.e. center or post player), or a traditional “4” player (i.e. power forward) in those spots if you run the play.

Warriors SLOB Need 3

 

2 cuts to the ball side corner.

 

 
 

 

4 uses a staggered screen set by 1 and 5.

The design is to force the first switch between X4 and X5.

 
 

1 then comes off a down screen by 5.
Looking to create a second switch between X1 and X4.

4 turns and screens X5 which prevents x5 from executing a third switch with X4 (Barnes) who is forced to trail 1 (Curry)

3 (Iguodala) passes the ball to 1 (Curry)

 

1 begins to drive the ball away from the screening action to force X5 to help.

5 screens X1.

4 pops out for the 3 point shot.

Living in Indianapolis, I have always had a lot of respect for Brad Stevens, dating back to the start of his career when he was an Assistant at Butler.

You might have to watch the video a couple of times to see the play develop.

It is a simple play, but effective if you have a player who is hard to keep from getting the basketball with a running start.

It is a YouTube video, so you will need to click the play arrow to see it.
