This is one of the many "Diamond" sets from Henrik Dettmann of the Finnish National Team. 2, a shooter, sets the back screen for 4. As x2 helps on the back screen, 5 dribbles out of the post into a handoff for 2. Because x2 bumps 4 on his cut, he is trailing behind 2 out of position to contest. See More

The consecutive actions of a back screen and a down screen will result in x1 getting lost for a brief moment (helping on 3), creating enough space for an open look from deep. Click here for more Golden State Warriors sets! See More

This is another Horns set that Croatia ran against Lithuania in the first window of the second round of the FIBA European Qualifiers. It's designed to get Saric a post up. After the elbow entry to 2, 1 and 3 set a double rip screen for 4. While this is happening, 5 sets a ball screen for 2 to occupy the defense. See More

This is just one of the ways that the Mystics get into the action with Toliver setting a back screen for Delle Donne. If Toliver does not have an open 3, she can throw the ball into the post. On the FMS Blog: WNBA Finals - Top Plays Breakdown See More

This is a counter from the base action I diagramed entitled, "Toledo Horns Floppy." This is a very simple yet effective counter you can run with this set. The vide below is not of this set itselft, but the base Horns Floppy action. As 2 comes off of 5's floppy screen, 4 will hit 2 and sprint straight into a side pick and roll. 2 will hunt the nail pulling the ball two bounces away from the screen looking to get in the paint with a scoring mindset first. As 4 rolls to the rim 5 will set a back screen on the defender in ball screen coverage. I worded that carefully to account for the likelihood of a switch. Screen the defender that is in ball screen coverage. After setting the back screen, 5 will pop to recover spacing/get outside of the 3pt line. This is a deadly action if you have a 5 who can step out and shoot it. 2's reads: 1) score 2) Lob/pass to 4 rolling 3) 5 popping It goes without saying that if the weak side defense hugs in, then 2 would kickout to 1, or 3 holding the side ready to shoot.

Several teams run this end-of-game SLOB. Really, 1-4 are interchangeable. For instance, I would put my best shooter in the 4 spot, ready to shoot on a kick out. My best slasher would be the 2, best screener the 5, and best inbounder the 3. See More

The Sparks took the popular "Winner" SLOB set and added a zipper action at the beginning, as well as a down screen at the end. It is a tremendous design, which resulted in an open three late in the game. By Doug Brotherton: What's the Best Bargain in Basketball? The WNBA See More

The Atlanta Dream have scored numerous times by adding this simple wrinkle to the end of "Floppy Action." A back screen, with a screen-the-screener pin down has resulted in layups and open jump shots throughout the WNBA Regular Season. By Doug Brotherton: What's the Best Bargain in Basketball?

Play ran by the Phoenix Mercury to get a post up opportunity for Brittany Griner. This would be effective for any team with a traditional 1-5 lineup. See More

The following reads are made in both the primary and secondary break. They can be the building blocks of an entire offensive system while developing the IQ and skill sets of your players. Circle: Corner player cuts to the rim as the wing player fades towards the corner for a shot. Drop: Wing player dives to the rim as the corner player lifts up to the wing for a shot. Down: Wing down screen towrads the corner where that player may fill up to the rim for a shot as well as curl or backdoor cut to the rim. The screener will either slip to the rim or pop out to the perimeter. Up: Corner lifts up to flare screen for the wing before slipping to the basket. The cutter may also curl to the rim. If the flare screener does not slip to the basket, they may sprint to the ball for a dribble handoff. See More
