Houston Cougars - Shallow Double Drag - FastModel Sports
Published 11/18/2020 Favorite Send to FastDraw Email Print EmbedAbout This Play/Drill
The Houston Cougars use this set to give their guards double driving gaps and accentuate it with sending them to that gap off a non-traditional double drag screen. The 3 man coming from high to low in order to set this traffic screen puts x3 in a very tough situation depending on ball screen coverage. It simply looks like 3 will slice through and then he will flip his hips into a double drag screen with 4.
The set ends in beautiful spacing with room to play on the catch. While Houston's initial action doesn't always result in a basket, the action shifts the defense with hard cuts, body to body screens, and threatening drives. This creates driving lanes where that Cougars will crack by the end of the posession.

- 1 will hit two and loop to the elbow cutting jersey to jersey with 4 while 3 fills over. 3 must catch this no wider than the lane line to set up his screening angle.
- 3 will reverse to 1 who stop-cut in front of 4 to freeze the defense.
- 3 will spring straight into a traffic double drag and then pop to the corner. 5 will slide baseline looking for a dump off or lob while 4 rolls to the rim
- They end in beautiful spacing with room to catch and shoot, or re-drive closeouts on the catch.
