About This Play/Drill

"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.
