Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Davidson Wildcats use this BLOB play against 2-3 zone defenses. The entire outcome is based on a misdirection action. The two bigs set screens to get the shooter (inbounder) open. Then the action on the other side of the court occurs. A ball screen and baseline screen to either get a shot from the short corner or a seal inside. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Commodores use this BLOB vs 2-3 zone defenses. It helps to put a shooter on the inbounder spot. This makes the defense closeout on his cut to the corner and opens up space in the middle for the two bigs. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawTrailing by 2 with 20 seconds left and facing a UIC 2-3 zone defense Depaul went to a horns action against the zone. They made it difficult for UIC’s zone to determine when to bump and when to stay defending the ball and it ultimately led to an open game winning 3. Keep in mind Depaul didn't hit the shot off the initial action, but the action broke UIC down and led to the wide open 3 pointer. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is a great quick hitter that puts a 2-3 zone in a few tough situations. This play works best if 4 is a threat to shoot the 3 at the top of the key. Once 1 initiates the play and swings the ball, quick ball movement and spacing put x4 in a spot where they have to figure out to whom they want to give the wide open 3. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is a fantastic zone offense that can be run at all levels. It is the perfect "First Zone Offense" to be taught at the middle school or sub varsity level with easy setup and rules. There is also enough options that more advanced levels of basketball would see success with this offense. Options/Variations From 1-4 set, high post entry. Look for the post that did not receive the entry to dive to the basket. This is hard to guard at all levels. From the wing with posts at short corner/high post, high post entry. Look for the post at the short corner to cut across the lane to the opposite block. From the wing with posts at short corner/high post, skip pass. Posts can X cut or straight cut. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawWe ran this play years ago when I was an assistant coach at Sentinel High School in Missoula Montana. This works great vs 2-3 zone. Key Point 1 - Swing the ball around the perimeter to shift the zone Key Point 2 - Timing is key, 3 should be coming off the back screen as 1 comes off ball screen. 1 dribble and throw it up See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawTied 63-63 against UMKC we turned to the side ball screen action against their match-up 2-3 zone they played for nearly 40 minutes. The key was a great screen by #4 Amiker, which eliminated the ball defender. The weakside guard of their zone had to stop our ball handler, #11 Cole in a tie game, who then kicked it to our shooter, #10 Keene on the left wing. The bottom man of the zone didn't want to leave another shooter, #1 Plummer in the corner of the floor so the top defender tried to stop ball and then recover to contest the shot. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is an effectice set versus a 3-2 zone defense. The screen actions and baseline cutter forces the defense to rotate and makes it easy for 4 to get open at the high post. Then it's read and react, depending on what the defense gives them. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis play can be used a quick hitter against the zone, in transtion or as a primary entry to a 4-out/1-in zone offense. It is great to get the ball in the lane and collapse the defense. The main job of the two big men is to set a solid screen, especially the second screener. The main role of the driving guard is to draw the help defense. 1 picks a side of the court to take the ball. 4 & 5 screen the two top guards. As 1 comes off screen, he hits 2. 2 catches the ball, rips and drives looking to draw x4 and have x5 step up. 4 pops and spaces, 5 rolls looking to draw x2 and x5. If 2 draws x4 then 3 will be open in the corner. If 2 draws x5 then 5 will be open for the dump off. If 2 draws x4 and x5 and then x3 will be forced to cover 5, then 4 will be open for the skip.

Favorite Send to FastDrawThe key to this zone offense is to get your baseline runner to buy in to the idea of crossing the lane on high post entry. I hope you like it and I hope that teams don't immediately change to man defense when you start getting layups! See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawHere is a set that you can use after a time out, late game situation or early offense. The ultimate goal is to get the ball inside to your post to work 1 v 1. It takes advantage of how the defense handles the intial ballscreen and is a counter when the post defender is sliding to the mid-line to help on the potential drive by the (1). It can be used vs. Man/Zone. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawToday's FastDraw Play of the Day comes from another request from our Twitter followers. This set can be run against a 1-3-1 Zone as a continuity action or as a quick hitter if you notice a hole in the zone slides. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawQuick zone set that you can run against a 2-3 look. Designed to get you best shooter, 2, open on the wing before the zone rotates. Also provides opportunities for players to flash and attack from the FT line area if the zone gets too concerned with the shooters on the perimeter. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe FIBA World Cup guarentees an offense gem almost every game. This one comes from the Lithuania vs. Angola game. Around the 8 minute mark in the 4th quarter Angola switched to a 2-3 zone on an baseline out of bounds. Lithuania quickly recognized it and ran this overload play for a 3-pointer. See More
