Basketball Plays Curl Pop 4 vs. Sag

By Brian Williams on January 26, 2015

Basketball Plays Curl Pop 4 vs. Sag

Today’s inbounds play to run against man to man was submitted by Syracuse Women’s Associate Head Coach Vonn Read.

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

Coach Read 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.

This play is designed to attack teams that sag the inbounder defender in the paint to help take away layups at the rim on UOB situations.

The 2 player will curl around the stack looking for the pass from the 1 player.

X1 will help on the cut by the 2 player, which we want.

As soon as the 2 player curls around the stack, the 4 player will pop out to the wing for the pass.

The 5 player will cut to set the screen on X1 helping on the curl.

While X1 is helping on the curl, he will get screened in by the 5 player. We use the curl cut to allow X1 to help, thus setting up the action.

The 1 player will pass the ball to the 4 player and quickly step to the corner for the 3-point shot.

Anytime we see a team that helps big in the paint on UOB situations, we will automatically attack with a
counter attack on that defender.

We like to force help at the basket and at the same time screen the helper inside the paint.

Sometimes, the 2 player will block X1 in on the curl, thus setting a double screen.

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:
