This is an easy way for Latvia to get the ball in and go straight to their continous ball-screen action (see in the pdf link below). They throw the ball in to 5 and give it back to the point guard with a quick handoff. See More

Kent State ran this set off a made free throw at 15:42 left in the second half down 7. Coach Senderoff called it from the bench to get their 7 footer, Adonis De La Rosa, a post iso. The action prior to the post entry consists of a rip screen option, followed by two ball screens and a dribble handoff, and finally a return pass to an easy post feed. De La Rosa ended up getting fouled on the play. See More

The Aces use this SLOB to get the ball to the pinch post area quickly as well as to bridge into their main sets on offense. The space created by the BLOB allows star player A'Ja Wilson to face up and get to the rim. Other options are to make a high-low pass, or hit a slasher come off a triple stagger screen along the baseline.

Virginia Tech ran this action early in their game against Wisconsin. The dribble handoff followed by the immediate ball screen makes it difficult for x3 to get through. x4 & x5 have to provide help which gives 5 the opportunity to seal his man for a postup opportunity. See More

In order to create lower percentage shots for their opponents, the Ramblers will force side ball screens towards the baseline and have their post player contain the ball handler until his defender gets over the screen. This allows them to keep the ball on one side of the floor and have their help defenders ready early to help and rotate out of the coverage when a pass is made. See More

Vermont used two simple actions in this play to get an open 3-point shot against Florida in their NCAA tournament game. The key was their pace in running the play. 5 immediately went to set a pindown for 2 after setting the ball screen for 1. 2 sprinted out of the corner to receive the pass from 1 for the shot.

The Phoenix Mercury opened the 2024 season with this play to get Diana Taurasi (1) a look for 3. 1 follows her pass to 2 to set a stagger ball screen with 5. 2 dribbles off of the screens and then 5 screens away for 1. Taurasi did a great job of setting her defender up, acting as if she was going to set a screen for 3 while she waited for the screen from 5. Video clip below. See More

"1-Up" is a simply set, which is dependent on the ability of the PG to read the help defense. 5 sets a step up, high ball screen, and rolls back to the rim. 4 completes the roll/rise action, by rising behind the roller. 1 can turn the corner to attack, if help comes from the corner, then it is a drive and kick 3. The other read is the defender of the opposite post player. If X4 helps on the roll, then the 4 will be open on the rise. If X4 stays with the rise, then the roll should be open at the rim. This is a good late shot clock call, for those that play with a shot clock. See More

"Stack 25" is a set that you will likely see in the 2017 NBA Playoffs from the Houston Rockets. They will put James Harden in a high ball screen, with Eric Gordon or Lou Williams setting a back screen. The set is very difficult to guard, due to the spacing, and simplified reads for the point guard. See More

"Stack 52" is a counter to the "Stack 25," which challenges a defense in a high pick and roll situation. Instead of rolling after the high ball screen, the 5 goes into a pin down for the 2. The point guard can look to turn the corner, or read the secondary action. This is another great option in a late clock situation. See More

"Horns Flare" is a wrinkle off of the basic "Horns Action," It has two major benefits. The first is that it puts the big, who is in the middle of defending a ball screen action, into a tough defensive scramble. If read properly, this will create a big offensive advantage. It also occupies both bigs, away from the basket, which opens the lane for an aggressive drive from the guard. See More
