Basketball Plays: Chin Flash Elbow

By Brian Williams on June 29, 2015

Basketball Plays: Chin Flash Elbow

A quick hitter to run to against a 2-3 zone defense.

Syracuse Women’s Associate Head Coach 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 has also 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.

Chin Flash Elbow Zone

basketball-plays-chin1

This is a good Zone Set out of a Chin Alignment.

The 1 player will pass the ball to the 4 player and then use the Chin cut by the 5 player.

The 4 player will reverse the ball to the 2 player on the wing.

basketball-plays-chin2

If the 1 player is open in the short corner, the 2 player will pass the ball to the 1 player for the quick shot.

If the 1 player does not have the quick shot, he will look to hit the 5 player diving to the rim or the 4 player at the top of the key area.

 

basketball-plays-chin3

The 5 player will flash to the elbow area after setting the chin cut for the 1 player.

This pass is open a lot in this set.

The 5 player will hit the 1 player at the rim on the high low pass.

The 1 player can score or pass the ball across the baseline to the 3 player for the 3-point shot.

basketball-plays-chin4

If the 5 player cannot hit the 1 player on the high low, he can hit the 4 player diving down the lane line for a layup.

If X4 takes away the dive by the 4 player, the 3 player will be open for the 3-pointer on the skip pass.
