Basketball Plays Elbow Diagonal

By Brian Williams on November 2, 2012

Basketball Plays Elbow Diagonal

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

Vonn is currently the Women’s Assistant Coach at the University of Houston.

Coach Read has also served as Associate Head Coach for the Women’s program at Syracuse, 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.

Today’s play creates a clear out opportunity for an elbow drive.

1 will pass to 4 at the elbow and cut to the wing.

3 will cut to the corner.

2 will post up hard to set up the action.

5 will set the screen for 2 popping to the elbow area for the quick jump shot.

X2 will close out hard & late, which gives 2 the opportunity to drive the closeout.

Tough to guard both the shot and the drive!!
