About This Play/Drill

One of the most common actions we faced at the recent FIBA U17 World Championship was Horns into Flex sets. Almost every nation we faced had their version of this.

The ones drawn up today are by the Spain team who we faced in the quarter finals. I liked thier three seperate reads that they would generate out of the action, each look depending on what they needed at each stage of the game.

Horns is still the most commonly used action in youth international play, but this campaign compared to the last saw a lot more flex action out of it.

  • O4 then sets down screen for O1 to come off looking for their shot

  • If O1 can not catch and shoot, O2 and O5 sets staggered screens for O3 to come off for final shot

    O5 would slide down to low block as O4 received pass from O1

     

    O2 would then flex cut off O5 screen

  • O1 would follow their pass and get it back off O4

     

    O5 set a cross screen for O2 and O4 set a clean up screen once the handoff had been made to O1

  • O2 would cut off the two screens looking for a 3 point shot
