This was a play I saw the Pacers run against the Miami Heat in Game Three of the Eastern Conference Finals. It got Roy Hibbert a wide open shot near the rim, but before that action took place, Paul George started to back down his man in the post on an empty side, indicating an isolation option for George. Coach Frank Vogel drew up a great play here to get his two best offensive players good looks in the same action. See More

The Miami Heat do a fantastic job of getting the ball to the elbow in pressure/clutch situations. Here are two plays the Heat ran against the Indiana Pacers in the ECF from the Sideline out of bounds to get elbow catches. One entry turns into their most successful play the FT Line Back Screen two man game between Wade & Bosh with Lebron having the ball. The other set was how Miami won G1 as Lebron had an isolation from the elbow. See More

This BLOB ran by the Indiana Pacers vs the Miami Heat was run to get two possible results: 1.) #24 Paul George mid-range jumper running off the stagger screens. 2.) #21 David West isolation from the elbow or in. Indiana got it to West in one of his favorite scoring spots, close to the basket so he could operate. See More

This play uses false screening action to set up a right side isolation opportunity for 3. On 1's dribble out to left wing, 3 uses 4-5 screen to get open on top. On the catch, 2 cuts under basket to left corner. 4 and 5 screen for 2 to occupy their defenders as 3 drives down the lane to score one on one. Give it a try! See More

This is a quick hitting isolation play for 1. After entry pass to 2, 1 replaces himself and gets ball back. On pass, 2 cuts hard to left corner. This leaves the right side open for isolation for 1 to score. 3 can circle behind to catch if 1 needs to pass back out. Give it a try! See More

With 6.4 seconds left this was the final play of regulation in game 4 win for Memphis. The game was tied at this point and Perkins ended up blocking Randolph's shot to send the game into overtime. Memphis got the isolation from the sideout of bounds situation but was not able to convert it to a basket. See More

During today's NBA Draft Combine on ESPNU, the Small Forwards were put through this excellent 1-on-1 Closeout Drills to test the players' offensive and defensive skills in isolation situations. I love this drill because it puts the players in a realistic situation closing out from help defense to a 1-on-1 situation. See More

Last play OKC ran in the first half of their game 1 win over Houston. It is a great alternative to a 1-4 low end of quarter or end of half play. Clearing out one side of the floor and popping on the ball screen set up an isolation for your best perimeter scorer. See More

Here is a great quick hitter that can be run right out of transition that Iowa State used numerous times throughout this past season. The quick hitter is tremendous because it flows right out of transition and seeks to put the ball in the hands of your best players (2 and 5) multiple times. Also, this play creates great spacing for your trail man (5 in this play) to get the ball in an isolation scenario if the other options are not available. See More

This play establishes several isolations and mixes a segment of the Triangle Offense with a backdoor cut and ball screen. Great set for mismatches and for players who can handle the ball & attack the basket. See More

A very simple Post Isolation into Cross Screen/Down Screen set play. A widely used action, but difficult to guard because it includes a pair of ball reversals, a couple of post isolations, and forces difficult decision-making by defenders who get caught up in quick screens. See More

The Oregon Ducks were a #12 seed in the NCAA Tournament, but proved they belonged getting to the Sweet 16 before being knocked off by the Louisville Cardinals. Coach Dana Altman has the Ducks program heading in the right direction and this is a great isolation set used in their 3rd round game against St. Louis. The Ducks finished the season at 28-9.
