We have run this play with great success at the freshmen, junior varsity, and u15 aau level. It is a very simple, yet effective baseline inbounds play against a 2-3 zone. Make sure 1 is your best shooter so if the defense stays home, you have a wide open look at a 3, or to drag the defense to the corner to open up the screening action inside. See More

The Boston Celtics ran this big on big pick & roll over the weekend. Since it was big on big, the defense switched which allowed 4 to roll and seal on the block; giving himself a better angle at the rim on the catch. See More

As your 5 rolls and your 4 replaces the 4's defender may stay in help defense allowing an open shot for him.

For this set make your high post entry to your best passing big. Line up your biggest wing opposite corner of where the high post entry pass is going, so if the defense switches guard to guard screening action, you have a size mismatch. Make sure you sell to your point guards that setting a good cross screen will help get them an open shot off of 5's down screen. This play is from the 2012-2013 Wisconsin Green Bay season. See More

With this play make sure you have a 2 that can make a pass from the top of the key to the rim when 3 cuts off of the diagonal screen. In practice work with your 2's that will be cutting off of the flare screen in reading the defense. You should be able to get a wide open shot, or lay up if your 2 can read the defense properly. This play is from the 2010-2011 Houston Rockets season. See More

The main key teaching point with this play is getting your 2 to sell that he is cutting towards 4 for a hand off. Once the defense over plays him, he can cut hard backdoor. You have to put a passing big man in 4's position to make the pass to 2 for a lay up. This play is from the 2010-2011 Houston Rockets season. See More

For this play have your 1 set the first screen in the double screen so the defense can't switch the guard to guard screening action. Make sure that you are working with your 2 on how to read the defense. He needs to be able to read and react instead of being a robot and automatically coming off the double screen. This play is from the 2010-2011 Houston Rockets season. See More

With this play make sure you have a passing 4 man. He has to read the defense as 3 cuts towards him for a hand off. If he can read the defense properly, you can get easy lay ups off of the hand off action. Make sure you 1 is setting the first screen in the double screen for 2, so the defense does not switch the guard to guard screening action. This play is from the 2010-2011 Houston Rockets season.

Last night in the Big East Tournament the Villanova Wildcats ran this turn-down pick & roll action in their win over St Johns. Jay Wright does a great job clearing out most of the baseline help in this set but convincing the defense a side pick & roll is about to occur. The 2 (guard) also does a phenomenal job setting up the bal with a ball/step fake middle and getting his defender moving over the screen that never happened. See More

With this play your 4 & 5 have to be a passing big. The 4 has to be able to read the defense as 2 comes off for the hand off, and your 5 has to be able to read the defense as the 2 comes off of the pin down screen. Practice with your players that will be coming off of the pin down action on reading the defense. This play is from the 2010-2011 Houston Rockets season. See More

Aside from having an extremely talented offensive player like Carmelo Anthony, the biggest reason that the Knicks rank third in the NBA in scoring efficiency is the beautiftul playbook that Mike Woodson has assembled. Granted, a lot of the stuff the Knicks run today comes straight out of Mike D'Antoni's scheme - in fact, I think New York runs more of D'Antoni's stuff than the Lakers do - but Woodson deserves a ton of credit for how he has handled the offense this season. Here is a play that New York occasionally runs in semi-transition or in the half-court. It is a high staggered triple screen that takes advantage of New York's staple offensively: a stretch four. Usually, that player is Carmelo, but in this particular example, with Melo out with an injury, Steve Novak assumes the role of a stretch four. The staggered triple screen action has a pair of pick-and-pops and a pick-and-roll to cap it off that can send the defense scrambling to find their assignments and put them in a poor position to defend in the case of a mismatch or good ball rotation. When the Knicks ran it against the Cavs a couple of days ago, Cleveland got all out of place following Novak at the three-point line and left Amare wide open on the roll for an easy dunk. See More
