Basketball Plays: Michigan Zone Attack

By Brian Williams on March 5, 2015

Basketball Plays:  Michigan Zone Attack

Two zone attack sets from John Beilein’s Michigan Playbook

I hope at the very least that you can take a wrinkle or two from these sets and use them to improve what you currently run against zones.

Michigan X

basketball-plays-x1

1 will pass the ball to 2

4 and 5 will move up the lane

 

 

 

basketball-plays-x2

2 will pass the ball back to 1

As 1 is swinging the ball to 3, 4 and 5 are coming up to screen

5 will screen the bottom/ouside defender of the zone

4 will screen the top/outside man of the zone

 

basketball-plays-x3

3 will either look to shot a pull up 3 or get into the lane

 

 

 

 

Michigan Hand

basketball-plays-hand1

1 will hit 2

 

 

 

 

basketball-plays-hand2

2 will pass the ball back to 1

2 will cut to the short corner

 

 

 

basketball-plays-hand3

4 will come up and set a ball screen for 1

4 will pop

1 will hit 4

 

 

basketball-plays-hand4

IF the bottom/outside defender comes out to cover 4, 4 will hit 2 for a shot

IF the top/outside defender takes 4 and the bottom/outside defender covers 2, 4 will look to hit 5 posting up the middle man of the zone

4 can throw a skip pass to 3 for a shot
