“The Play” UCLA Backdoor

The Play. This beat defending NCAA champion UCLA 43-41 on a backdoor cut.

On a spin dribble by 1, the 5 fills the high post and catches as the 3 fills the corner.

On the catch by 5, 3 cuts baseline about 50% speed to setup 3 for next cut.

1 and 4 set a double screen at the opposite elbow for 2.

This is a distraction.

As 2 is cutting off the double screen pulling the weak side help away from the basket.

5 sells this action as dribbling to the top of the key then spin dribbles back to 3.

3 cuts violently to the rim for the backdoor layup.

This set is a part of Coach Lee DeForest’s Princeton Offense system, but could be run as a quick hitter to complement whatever you run.
