Great set to get a deep post feed by exploiting the 5 mans defender by putting him in ball screen and DHO coverage quickly. More on the FMS blog: NCAA Preseason Top 25 XsOs Click to view all plays by Coach Dave Nedbalek! See More

This is a great set to get some false action leading into a dribble handoff, giving a guard a double gap to drive. This clip (along with most of the game) shows some fairly sloppy, execution on Kentucky's part but you can see the potential scoring threat this set poses.

I love this action that Virginia ran some in their first exhbition. Obviously they are traditionaly a blocker mover team (BEAUTIFUL to watch them by the way), but this is a twist on the classic European ball screen continuity offense. In the normal ball screen continuity, the loaded wing would backdoor cut through and the ball screen would be executed with the guard lifting out of the corner. In this wrinkle, the Cavaliers set the side ball screen on the top player and let the corner shake action play out. This is one of my favorite actions, and one of the hardest to guard. Another benefit is as the ball is reversed, the opposite guard now has an empty side of the floor to reject his ball screen - as you in the clip below.

This is great action to get a spread ball screen with lots of midline movement, and then also a chance for a deep post up. Kansas opened up its Champions Classic game vs Duke with this set, and runs this with great pace and execution, however it is well defended by the Blue Devils. A key point is the skip pass before the post entry. If the help side defender is tagging on the post, then skip and immediately enter the ball like Kansas does.

This is a great set with some very smooth misdirection to shift the defense out of position before the ball screen and reversal, leaving the post defender sealed underneath the rim. On the FMS Blog: NCAA Preseason Top 25 XsOs - Teams 1-5 See More

This is a great set from Gonzaga Coach Mark Few. It appears that 5 is sprinting into a ball screen, but actualy will recieve the pass and look to hit the guard cutting backdoor. If 5 is overplayed, this is a great backdoor opportunity for him as well. If the backdoor cut is not there, then everyone holds and 5 has a double gap to drive his man from the top of the key.

This is a great set utilizing components of Coach Beilein's two-guard offense. The down screen from 1 to 2 has multiple options: 2 could reject the screen, use and send 1 backdoor, or the way it's run here with 2 tight curling and 1 popping back out. Check out the video below. Side note: a great counter would be after 1 popping out, to then go hard backdoor on the heels of 2's cut. FMS Blog: Maui Invitational - Top 10 Plays See More

This is one of my all time favorite sets! There are several looks that Gonzaga bypasses in favor of the post up. This set when run fully has a guard mismatch post up opportunity, lob look, stretch post 3, double pin downs for shooters, seal post ups for those screeners, and then ball screen with throwback action. See these options in the video below. I highly recommend adding this set to your playbook.

This is a good set from the Florida Gators utilizing the pressure of a hard cut off a backscreen into a Chicago action (downscreen into a handoff) which creates multiple decision situations for the defense. Here Michigan stays hugged up on the perimeter shooters of Florida and creates an easy deep post entry pass. See More

This is a great set lifting the 5 up to the nail. 1 is potentially open off the lob on the initial cut. 5 pops off of 1's back cut where his man must tag 1 or he will be open. 5 goes straight into a Rugby action as we call it (dribble handoff with a player inside in the 3pt line looping out and around 5 on the handoff). A counter or wrinkle to this set would be 5 faking the handoff and keeping it himself on the drive. See More

This is a great set you can run for a stretch big man who can step out and shoot the three. Have your wing look to slip to the rim if he doesn't see a body between him and the rim. See More

This set involves a great amount of false motion that can easily be used to create scoring opportunities if you look to exploit any missteps. Have your players not rush the backdoor cuts especially on the weak side opposite of the big as this is a viable scoring cut. If there are any miscues on the handoffs the ball handler can easily fake the handoff and have a wide open lane to the rim. There are lot of great counters you could run out of this such as turn the last backdoor cut into a smash cut or even cross screen for a throwback post feed. See More

This is a great quick action to get you a great look going downhill off a 1-4 flat set. This will get 1's defender turned around just enough to struggle with 5's ball screen especially if he arrives alone. See More

Love this set. I am a huge fan of getting skilled bigs at the top of the key with the ball and space. The misdirection to begin softens the defense up and then there are countless possibilities you can finish this set with. I love the natural push of the drive off of the weave and Chicago action handoff into the flare on the weak side. That flare can be easily mis-guarded and result in a slip and a wide open layup for the screener. I love the built in throw-back, or "shake" action with the ball screen, roll, and corner lift as well. A lot of bang for your buck with this one. See More
