This is the opening tip play that Team USA ran against Team World in the 2013 Nike Hoop Summit which took place at the Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon. This set is a simple set that will take minimal time to teach your players, and something that can steal you an easy two points to start the game and grab the momentum like Team USA did here.

Memphis ran this play at the 5:21 mark of their game three loss to the Spurs. This layup by Randolph put Memphis up by 11. The Spurs made two consecuctive defensive errors on this play. First, Randolph was doubled in the post leaving Gasol wide open at the free throw line. After Pondexter ball faked to the free throw line both Spurs guarding Randolph ran to the free throw line. Z-Bo was left unguarded on the block for the layup. Regardless of the Spurs defensive lapses, this is a good set involving screening to get the ball into the post. See More

I figured with so many people doing one set and one drawing, I wanted to offer something different. After reviewing all four games of the Western Conference Finals between the Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs I looked at actions that were successful and one's that didn't have quite as much success. I started with the Memphis Grizzlies. The play diagrams below are drawn for multiple plays with the play name titled directly on top of the court frame. These play diagrams are in order with the video you can find here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hYblZmLbIM&feature=youtu.be This way you can view the video and look at the play diagrams while the video is running. I hope you enjoy looking at the Memphis Grizzlies WCF Playbook. See More

Here is a zipper set that is run to get the ball in the hands of your best decision maker (1 in this play) and gives you plenty of scoring oppertunities. The spurs run a variation of this play with much success by putting Parker at the 1. Ginobli at the 2 (who can get a 3 on the extra pass from 3) and Danny Green at the 3. The skills of these players puts a lot of stress on the defense and makes this quick hitter hard to guard. See More

Here is a box set that gives you a an opportunity to take advantage of a mis-match by going to an ISO for 1 on the weak side attacking off the flat ball screen or to throw back to 3 for a three point shot. This is an effective quick hitter to take advantage of various matchups or to get a quality shot quick in an end of clock situation. See More

Opening play of the second half ran by Miami in their game 5 win over the Bulls. Although LBJ's pass was tipped, this is great action to get a guard who can finish close to the basket. Also entering the ball to a playmaker at the elbow puts a lot of pressure on the defense. See More

Here is another play that is run frequently by Greg McDermott at Creighton. This set play is unique because it is run from a 2-3 high set with 1 and 2 at top so that 2 can eventually receive the stagger screen later in the play (this can be done out of a 4-out 1-in set by having the trailing big exchange with the weak side guard). This is a great way for you to get your team opportunities for easy 2's or a 3 pointer from the top of the key. See More

Here is a dribble hand off action that develops into a down screen and flare screen action. This quick hitter can be very hard to guard, especially the 5 to 2 hand off because of the big to little match up. See More

Here is a set play that was run numerous times in the Spurs second game vs. the Golden State Warriors last night. This play starts out of a 3-out 2-in set and quickly develops into a set that gives you a screen and roll option on the strong side and a stagger screen on the weak side. This play is effective because the strong side ball screen forces the defenders of 5 or 3 on the weak side to be in help and will allow either 5 or 3 to slip to the basket after setting their screen.

This play can yield a lay up or post up by 3 or a three point shot by 4. Starts with a double flare for 1 who catches on the left wing. On the catch, 4 screens for 3 diving to the basket. If 4's defender helps a little on 3's cut, 4 steps out behind the line to shoot a three. False action between 2 and 5 on the right wing will occupy the weak side defenders. Give it a try! See More

This hand off/on ball special is designed for 2. His goal is to use the on ball screen to drive to the paint. If this doesn't happen, look for 1 coming off screens from 4 and 5 for a shot. Give it a try! See More
