Punch indicates that after the small uses the pin down and receives the ball on the wing the big who set the pin down will post up. We then look for a post entry, after which team philosophies take over (cut through below the block, down the middle, split the guard or space). See More

Floppy ran with Fist action indicates that the weak side big will sprint to the PNR. Thus after the small uses the pin down and receives the ball on the wing, the weak side big will be in full sprint to the SPNR. The big that set the pin down will then relocate to weak side dunker or elbow. If he relocates to the elbow and the ball is kicked to the flow away PG, the big can again set an Angle PNR. See More

When Floppy is ran as a GET action, this can indicate that the strong side big who set the pin down is the activated on ball screener. Thus the wing receives the ball, the strong side big will then sprint to set the PNR, this can be an SPNR or a Step Up depending on the defense and the coverage. From there the weak side players will space, filling corner, wing and dunker (duck in zone). See More

Another way to initiate Floppy is out of a Diamond set up. This time the activated shooter is starting under the basket with single pin downs from the bigs on both sides. Again he can choose which way to go and again the secondary guard will exit the opposite direction. The only difference in this set up is that the secondary guard is starting at the nail (the middle of the free-throw line). This means that when he exits the opposite direction of the activated player, instead of him using a pin down, he is using a pinch fade or flare screen. Thus if the activated shooter uses the single pin down on the left side, the secondary guard will use the pinch fade on the right side. See More

The Washington Wizards were tied with the Orlando Magic with 0.8 seconds remaining last December. After calling a timeout, Coach Randy Wittman drew up this SLOB set designed to get one of his better shooters (not named Bradley Beal) coming off a quick screen and then slice to the corner to clear out the help and the lane area to open up the rim. Beal, the athlete/dunker in this set, simultaneously comes off a screen from a big and then rolls back to the rim for the game winning lob lay in. See More

This is a good rebounding drill that works on technique but also gets competitive and emphasizes effort on the glass. You can load this drill in many different ways. You can put points in the drill. 1 point for defensive rebound and 2 points for an offensive rebound. Have one team play for 2-3 minutes on defense then switch and keep track of points You can also have the rebounders play live. If offense gets it they play at that rim, if defense gets it they can play full court 1 on 1 See More

Here is an early offense play shown in the full court. 1 dribbles up the right side of the floor as 2 and 3 both run the wings. 4 sprints ahead of 5 to screen for 2. 2 loops into the lane and times a screen for 5 at the free-throw line. 1 looks to pass to 5 with a lob or to 2 stepping out for a shot.

This is not a set play, but rather a concept to apply to any offense that your team runs. Playing and penetrating through a single gap can be difficult, but by creating a double gap, more penetration opportunities occur. See More

A set that Brad Stevens runs after time outs and at the end of games is "Flip Flare." This set is designed to create action before a flare screen for a stretch 4 like Jared Sullinger or Kelly Olynyk. After setting a down screen and then opening up to the ball, the 4 man flips it back to 1, this is especially effective against teams that ICE ballscreens, as his defender will be below the flare screen. After he flips it this is when the other big sets flare screen, looking for a quick hitter. See More

3 and 2 exchange with 3 going below and 2 going above 5 and 4 at the elbows. 2 and 3 then repeat the action with 5 and 4 screening for 3 cutting to the left wing. Once 3 has the ball, 1 screens for 5 who moves straight into a ball-screen for 3. 1 clears to the opposite corner and 4 looks to get position at the high post. See More

Virginia Tech ran this SLOB set late in the game against Boston College this past season. The shooter was the second man in triple staggered screens/Iverson cut for the wing. The shooter then received a back screen to flare to the corner upon the baseline drive. He was wide open in the corner and knocked down the shot to pull his team within one possession with about 1 minute left to play in regulation. See More

On April 2, 2015 of this past season, the Phoenix Suns were down one point with 6.8 seconds remaining on the road at the Golden State Warriors. The Suns ran a brilliant ATO SLOB quick hitting set to clear out the weak side and get an open lay-up for Eric Bledsoe. The Warriors did not switch any of the screens. Instead, the Warriors chased/trailed the screens, allowing the weak side to be cleared out and Bledsoe to curl in for the go-ahead lay-up (however, the Warriors would eventually hit a game winning shot at the buzzer).
