3 Down Power
08/21/2013Spain ran this beautiful quick hitter to post-up Marc Gasol in their game versus Macedonia yesterday. After 3 cross-screens for 5 I would love to add 4 pinning down for 3. See More

Favorite Send to FastDrawIn an end game set against the Pacers, Jeff Green used a rub action from Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to get free for a lob at the rim and put in the game-winning layup. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawGregg Marshall's Wichita State team ran this baseline out of bounds play versus Louisville in the 2013 Final Four. This play has multiple screening actions that make it nearly impossible to cover every option.

Favorite Send to FastDraw#1 dribbles off of 4's ballscreen. 3 sets an upscreen for 5 to get open on the block. Immediate look into the post for 5. If 5 is not open 1 hits 4 up top. 4 swings the ball to 3. 2 sets a cross screen for 5 on the block. 3 looks for 5 on the block. If 5 is not open, then 2 gets a down screen from 4. 2 should be open at the FT line or top of the key. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawAfter Carter buried the Raptors and sent the game to OT, he got another chance to win it in the extra frame. Lawrence Frank drew up another lob play for him, once again banking on the defense paying attention to players other than Carter. The misdirection lob play is a staple in SLOB situations, and Carter does a great job selling the screen to set it up. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawMacedonia ran this Early Offense stagger action today in International play versus Spain. The goal would be to get 3 coming off the stagger looking to score. If not the post up for one of the bigs is another viable option. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawIn 2008, Jay Triano drew this play for a high handoff with Chris Bosh, who would likely pop out and set a ballscreen. Instead, the play worked out so that Bosh's presence with the ball would serve as a decoy for an off-ball player to cut backdoor and receive a pass from the man Bosh pitches the ball to. See More
Favorite Send to FastDraw1 On 1 I recommend starting this drill 1-on-1 first. Start with one rebounder (X1) with their head just in front of the rim and the first offensive rebounder at the elbow opposite the coach with the ball. Place the rest of the team in a line; they are all on offense. Once the coach shoots the ball, X1 must block out 1 and rebound the ball. The play is not over until X1 has secured the ball. The only way for X1 to get out of the drill is to make five consecutive stops (The offense cannot rebound the ball). The number is interchangeable but five is a good starting point. 2 On 2 War (2-on-2) really encourages a more competitive team atmosphere. Divide your players into two teams and put four minutes on the clock. One team will go to the baseline and the other team to the top of the key. Place a coach at the free-throw/1-point line area with a ball. The clocks starts once the coach shoots the ball. X1 and X2 are responsible for blocking out 1 and 2 respectively. If the defense rebounds the ball, they receive one point. If the offense rebounds the ball, the drill is not over; they must score in order to receive a point. At this point the drill is still not over, the offense should attempt to grab as many rebounds as possible and score as many points as possible. The drill is not over until the defense secures the basketball. Once the buzzer sounds and the current group finishes, keep the scores up on the board and flip offense to defense. Put another four minutes back up on the clock and start the drill again. Remember, the team now on offense was just on defense and vice versa, so make sure you are still giving points to the correct team. (i.e.: If at the end of the first four minutes the offensive team {Team A} scored 11 points, once they become the defense their first defensive rebound would get {Team A} 12 points and so on). If there is a high intensity level, keep the drill going and go through another session. Once you are satisfied with your team’s effort tally up the scores. Let the winning team grab water first while the losing team runs. See More

Favorite Send to FastDrawLouisville ran this pick & roll play in their 2013 Final Four game versus Wichita State. Siva (1) did an excellent job head hunting X5 after flipping the ball to 2. This action happened very quickly as 2 attacked the paint X4 had to stunt at the ball and X3 sank down to cover 4. All of this action forced so much help that 2 was able to find 3 spotting up in the corner for a catch & shoot.

Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is a play that I got from Billy Gillispie at a clinic. He used this play several times against Syracuse's 2-3 zone defense when he was the head coach at Texas A&M. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawRichard Jefferson and Jason Collins connected on a fantastic alley oop in a 2004 game to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers. The play, designed to get Richard Jefferson free at the rim, works well because of the amount of attention paid to Jason Kidd as their star player. His ability to serve as a decoy away from the basket was instrumental in freeing up space at the basket and getting Jefferson's man away from him. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is my 3rd set of BLOB plays...this time a Baseline Series. We like to go with 1 specific set up unique to each season and to disguise a handful of sets in the same set up. So far I have shared a "Shapes" Series and a "Letter's" Series. Hopefully these with small adaptations to your personnel and use vs. Man or Zone can help win the "Special Situations" portion of each game for you. See More
Favorite Send to FastDraw"Sweep" is a secondary break play run by several teams including Colorado and Harvard. This play is based on the North Carolina approach to secondary break offense made popular by Dean Smith and Roy Williams. It can be run if you do not have players athletic enough to run the Carolina break for the lob dunk and can be run into any kind of a three-around-two offense.
