About This Play/Drill

This is a good play for teams with big guards who have an advantage in post up situations.  The objective of this play is to clear out a side and allow the guard to post up while still having other valuable options if that is taken away.  This is a great play that can be run after time outs, if you need a quick 2 or a 3 for a good shooter.  Ideally this is a play with a perimeter oriented 4 man, big guards who can post up and good 3pt shooters.  

Bigs set up in down screen action with guards low.  1 initiates the offense by picking a side to take the basketball.  Guards will come off opposite the side the basketball is taken.  Ball side big will then turn and set a back screen on other bigs man.  First guard will curl to the block and 2nd guard will curl to the top looking for a 3.  4 pops and 5 ducks in looking for a post up.  It forces the defense to make quick decisions and be in the right help defensive positions.
