Concorida University (NY) Women's Basketball used this zone set against Philly U on 1-5-16. The set really puts pressure on the middle of the zone and allows movement to come from the weak side where the defense really has to be aware of multiple cuts to the interior of the zone.

These are a pair of plays the UVA Cavaliers ran against Cal on 12/22/2015. What makes this set so great is that they were both run out of time outs with a minute or less left in OT and had progreession. The defense was prepared for the second time, however UVA added another action when the initial look was not open. Hat Tip to @coachmurphhoops for the find. See More

If you are looking for a play to get you an open 3-point field goal, this play, if ran correctly, should get you a great look at the basket (with rebounders in place to keep the possession alive). As the PG passes to the 4, we like the 3 to "play with" the corner defender, try to occupy his attention as much as possible, so we can get the top ball-side defender to pick up the ball off the initial pass. After passing the ball, the PG will flash like he is making a ball-side corner cut (which is a great way to get a quick entry into the post) but instead, will fill the opposite corner. The help defender on the top will naturally sink and fall towards the mid-line. Once the PG has cleared the lane, we want our 3 to cut to the top of the key. As he is cutting, we would like to have the 5 roll over and set a screen on x1. This is all about timing! If the 3 can catch the ball right as the 5 is setting the screen, we are in business. Now, we have the defense right where we want them. As the 3 catches, he immediately attacks DOWNHILL! Do not let the 3 float/dribble outside of the lane. The goal is to get x5 to step up or x4 to step in. Either way, we have the numbers in our favor. Now, we have the options we want. If the x4 steps up, the 3 immediately needs to pass the ball (what we call a hot read) to either the 1 or the 2. If x4 stays low and x5 defends the penetration (which is what we ultimately want), the 3 needs to pass the ball to the 2. If x4 closes out hard on the 2 and he cannot get the shot, then the 2 needs to make the extra pass to the 1 in the corner (where there is no defense). The 4 and the 5 need to crash hard for the rebound. The 3 should be in position in case the shot attempt is short. See More

This is a great competitive drill that works on defensive closeouts, catching drives, guarding the ball, getting chest stops, keeping the ball out of the paint, attacking closeouts and driving into the paint under control. OFFENSE - Attack the paint with drive and kick. DEFENSE - No straight line drives. Good gap positioning. Scoring - 1 point for offense to get 2 feet in the paint. 2 points for a drive in to the charge circle. See More

On Aug. 22, 2003, Scott Drew assumed Baylor's head coaching position and took over one of college basketball's most daunting rebuilding projects ever. Eleven years later, he became the program's all-time wins leader. From 2007-15, Baylor rose to national prominence with Drew leading the team to seven 20-win seasons, seven postseason appearances, the Big 12's first NIT championship, Baylor's first postseason tournament title in its 107-year history, and a Big 12-best and school-record 17 postseason wins. This years Baylor team is extremely athletic and can interchange positions in their sets. This is a very good easy to run Motion set the Bears use against Man-to-Man defenses. It incorporates DHO action, SPNR, opportunities for quick hitting backdoor actions, and post.-up scenarios. See More

Here we take a look at the Kansas High Low Offense with a single screen option. This offense is run as a more complex alternative to the traditional motion offense. By moving one post to the top of the key, the alternating post has room to work inside the paint. Guards are constantly moving and cutting. This keeps the defense shuffling and the offense open for shots off the pass or dribble. - http://www.krossover.com/blog/2015/12/basketball-playbook-kansas-high-low-offense/ See More

In his first five seasons as head coach of the Boise State men's basketball team, Leon Rice has taken the Broncos to the NCAA Tournament twice and won at least 20 games four times. They have a very tall line-up and their guards & forwards can interchange in the Broncos Offensive schemes. This is a Motion look with backscreens, ball screens, lots of movement and ball reversal actions designed to move the defense into multiple rotations. See More

Vanderbilt ran this Early Offense quick hitter last night in the Maui Invitational Championship game vs Kansas. 3 lifting his arm, acting as he was setting a backscreen, really set up this play to allow him the extra step to get off the catch & shoot before the defense could recover. See More

The Panthers have many players in their line-up who can play multiple positions and this set play (which also has a counter) is designed to get their 5 man Koch the ball inside. A quick hitting action with the DHO leading right into a shuffle cut backscreen action. Well designed and really moves the defense to make a quick decision how to help due to Bohannon's ability to knockdown the 3 pt shot stepping out at the TOK. UNI runs one of the most exciting offensive packages in the country and although Ben Jacobsen is known for his strong defense, their offense should not be underestimated. See More

Duke ran this half-court elbow set yesterday in their win over Georgetown. This is a set very common in the NBA and the Blue Devils do an excellent job with the execution. Grayson Allen has been the target of defenses early this season and this action puts him in multiple situations that cause the defense to be late and help the helper. See More

Filling The Gaps One of the first steps in attacking zone defenses is selecting an alignment. Teach players to arrive at this by showing players where the gaps are in different zones. Below are various alignments against common zone defenses. More Info: Effective Zone Offense Principles See More

Michigan State ran this quick hitting action last night to put the Spartans ahead and eventually overcome Kansas. This is a simple action that because of the speed of the cuts and the congestion, the defense runs into each other allowing for the space for a catch & shoot by Valentine. See More
