Basketball Plays Box Double Low

By Brian Williams on March 31, 2015

Basketball Plays Box Double Low

This play is designed as a baseline inbounds play to run against a 2-3 zone defense.

Coach Vonn Read has submitted several plays from his playbook series The Basketball Encyclopedia of Plays to the Coaching Toolbox.

You can also see more of his plays in the Related Posts links at the bottom of this post.

Vonn is currently an Assistant Coach for the University of Houston Women’s basketball team and served as an assistant coach in the WNBA with the Phoenix Mercury, Orlando Miracle, and San Antonio Silver Stars.

He was an advanced scout for the Orlando Magic as well as The Charlotte Sting.

Box Double Low – Slip Seam Option vs Zone

This is a great play for a shooter against a Zone Defense.

The 5 player will pop out to the corner for the pass.

The 4 player will screen for the 1 player, who pops out to receive the pass from the 5 player.

The 5 player will cut to the block after making the pass to the 1 player.

The 3 player will step in and screen X3, with the 5 player screening X5.

The 2 player will cut off the double screen, looking for the 3-point shot in the corner.

If X3 steps out and takes away the pass to the 2 player, the 3 player will slip right into the seam for the easy jump shot.

This is an overload action against the Zone, which puts 4 offensive players vs. 3 defenders on the strong side of the floor.

 

Coach Read has also put together The Basketball Encyclopedia of plays. You can check them out here: The Basketball Encyclopedia of Plays or read more about the books:

This 2 Volume Book includes plays from 19 different play categories, and they are the most extensive playbooks on the market.

The Basketball Encyclopedia of Plays (Platinum Series) contains over 7,700 Plays (Both Volumes combined) from the NBA, WNBA, USBL, and College levels from someone who has worked as an Advanced Scout or Coach on each level!!! This book has been intensely compiled over the last 21 years, with plays taken from a lot of NBA Coaches (past and present), WNBA coaches, and College coaches (Men’s and Women’s) from around the country.

    If X5 slips the screen of 5, have him face up to the ball.
    You could have 2 & 5 screen the blocks and have 3 pick the best wing to break to as well.
