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

 

 

Transition 1 v 1

This are Jordan’s comments on the first drill:

Transition offense is a huge part of the game.

In this game like shooting drill, players will be working on scoring in transition.

A defensive player will be closing out on the offense in the corner.

The offensive player will have to read the defender to see if they should shoot it or drive it.

Transition 1v1

Shooter (1) starts at the three point line extended.
Defender (2) starts at the coaching box line.
Ball handler (3) or coach starts near half court.
Game starts on ball handlers movement.
Player 2 sprints to try to defend player 1 in the corner.
Player 3 passes to player 1, who tries to score off of a catch and shoot three, pull-up, lay up, side step. Can add that the offense can not score in the lane.

1v1 Contact Finishing

Defender stands at the elbow facing the basket.

Offense is on the baseline and dribbles out to the defender and goes around the defender.

Once the offense turns the corner it is live.

Offense is getting shoulder tip hip/chest and trying to cut off or veer defense to finish.
 

ADD ON: Dribble decision making/change of direction move can be added. Defender can lift up right or left arm to signal what way the offense must go around.

Players rotate offense to defense.

Run the drill on both sides of the floor.

Capitalizing in Transition

The Coach in the video is PGC Basketball Director Tyler Coston.

You might not agree with his assessment, but at least I hope it helps you to define more clearly what you want your ball handlers to look for in transition.

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

Team Shooting Drill: “UConn”

By on

I received these two shooting drills in an email from Dennis Hutter, Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Mayville State University. His website, www.coachhutter.com . The website has more shooting, individual development workout, and leadership videos.

These drill might not fit the skill level of all of your players or be the types of shots your players get in games.

The philosophy of this site is to use the ideas presented and adapt them to fit what you need to be able to do:

Here is what Coach Hutter said about the two drills:

UConn:

This is a TEAM shooting drill that is made competitive through time and score. The goal of the drill is to try and have your team make 80 total shots in 5:00. The team is only allowed six basketballs for this drill. The drill is broken down into minute long segments of shots as follows:

0:00-1:00 – Corner 3’s
1:00-2:00 – Straight Cut 3’s
2:00-3:00 – Top of the Key 3’s
3:00-4:00 – Straight Cut 3’s – opposite side from start
4:00-5:00 – Corner 3’s – opposite side from start

“60 Point” Shooting

The object of the drill is to try and make 60 total shots. There are five spots at which you can shoot from: the corner, wing, top of key, wing and corner. Start in a corner and continue to shoot at each spot until you have missed 2 IN A ROW. Once you have missed two shots in a row, you move to the next spot. The goal is to make 60 shots before missing two shots in a row from the final corner spot.

1-3-1 Zone Attack Ideas

By on

These ideas to attack a 1-3-1 Zone Defense were diagrammed by Creighton Burns.

Creighton is retired from coaching after over 50 years.

He coached at both the high school and college levels as well and coached both men and women’s teams.

These actions might not fit what your players do best, but my hope is that you can take some parts of them and improve what you are doing now when you face a 1-3-1 defense.

Diagrams created with FastDraw

 

Elbow 1-3-1 Zone Attack

• 1 dribbles at 2

• 2 screens in the bottom man

• 3 sprints to short corner or corner to receive pass

 

 

• 2 then screens the weak side wing from helping on the block

• 5 dives to block, this most likely will not be open but it does take the middle defender out of the picture

• 4 sets a flair screen on x1

• 1 sprints diagonal of the ball

• 3 is looking to skip this out, its best to put a taller or stronger player at the 3 spot

“X” 1-3-1 Zone Attack

• 1 passes to 2

• 4 dives to block, this is a false action to get the defense moving

• 2 passes 1 and is reversed to 3

• after 2 passes he cuts to ball side block

 

• 3 dribbles to draw the top defender and kicks to 1 who is sliding away

• 5 screens the bottom defender

• 4 ducks in

• 2 sprints to corner for the shot

• 1 has the option of passing to 4 or 2

Oregon Zone Continuity Offense

By on

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.

He has diagrammed the plays and provided a download link
