Favorite Send to FastDrawHere are just two options out of the many different looks available in a Horns Go set. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is another option out of a Horns look. Entering the ball at the elbow initiates "Elbow" pinch post action. In this example, the ballhandler goes to the strong side, initiating Elbow Strong, or strong side split action. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is a basic Horns set, with a common second side action to the play. It is important to teach and look for every read: 1. 1 hits 5 on the roll after screen 2. 4 pops and looks for shot if open 3. 4 looks for hi-lo entry to 5 4. 4 swings to side P/R with 2 5. 5 flashes/ducks-in middle, 4 pops to range See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawKentucky Horns Lob Set This a great early offense set to use at the start of the game. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawArizona (Sean Miller) "HORNS" set Follow the downscreen into a handoff. Two screen-the-screener actions. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawHorns set used by Larry Brown and SMU versus Tulsa. Unlike most "horns" sets, it does not begin with a ball screen or an elbow entry See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawBrian Shaw uses a great Horns set in which he inverts the positions and has the guards play at the high posts. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis set is run form the Horns formation. A ball screen is used to lead into possible high low action with the post. A big to little dribble handoff is used to open the lane leading to different possible shot opportunities based defensive rotation. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawDavid Blatt been around the Israeli and Euroleague basketball circuit. Including coaching for Maccabi Tel Aviv (they de bezt, alweyz de bezt) and the Russian National Team (Kirilenko, Mozgov, Shved). He coached Anthony Parker back into the NBA. Names don't exactly get the point across, but let it be known, that he has coached winning teams, almost exclusively. And thats the point of the game. From what I can gather Blatt's teams run a lot through a horns offense. Which, if you don't know, puts two guys- one on either- high post (witch's nipple), two guys in opposite corner/wings and starts with the ball handler at the top of the key. It is not a triangle offense, but it does revolve around cerebral players creating space with passing, smart cutting and good footwork. Certainly a proprietor of the Triangle has respect for this, a verySpurs-y set of offensive goals. Everybody needs touches to make this kitten purr. Everyone needs to fill the open spaces that relate to their skill set, and everyone must become a threat when they have the ball.

Favorite Send to FastDrawWith Horns being such a popular set at all levels I thought I’d take a look at another action that UIC ran in their game at Milwaukee. They dribbled the point guard over to the wing and had him dribble off both 4 & 5 ball screens. Milwaukee tried to defend this in multiple ways which you will see in the video below. They tried to hedge it with the 5 man, and then they attempted to switch it. I thought this action was great to get your point guard off two ball screens, then get your 2 man coming off a screen the screener for a shot. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawSaturday night in their ESPN College Gameday game in Gainesville vs Florida, the Kentucky Wildcats run this quick double-backscreen play to start the 2nd half. What made this play so effective was the timing by 3 who hesitated at the top of the key before 5 caught the ball. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThese are drills I use to expose younger players to Horns and the actions that can be run out of the set. I think showing kids the NBA actions and sets in practice will change the way they watch NBA games and increase on court IQ. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawWhen playing Cleveland State you have to find ways to counter their pressue and make it as difficult as possible for them to successfully trap you. They trap all ball screens so running a horns set is one of the most difficult ways for them to do that successfully. Trailing at the half at our place we started the second half running three different variations of horns on our first three possessions. We scored on all 3. With them trapping the ball screen it makes it crucial the opposite post defender sinks in the hole or there is a strong blitz from the corner/wing defender. You can see in the first clip how even though our PG #11 DJ Cole got trapped as soon as he got the ball to our 4 man #4 Shawn Amiker he had a clear driving lane to the basket. The second clip shows us going off the 4 man, their 5 didn't sink far enough and we got an And 1. The third & final clip shows a pass entry that brought us to a back screen and down screen action on the side of the floor. With them pressuring the ball our 5 man #20 Bobby Hain created space off the bounce and hit the slipping 4 man for a lay-up. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawA little bit complicated offense from Horns formation with good opportunity for quick shot 4 in the begining of the play. Main action is Pick & Roll outside 2-5 with back screen for the roller. Also if nothing happened at the end of play 1 can use HPR with 4 for missmach & 1x1 game. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawGreen Bay needed a score in a huge Horizon League contest down 1 against Valpo. They used pre-season POY #24 Keifer Sykes as a decoy to free up their second best player in Greg Mays. Ball was entered to Mays who received a 5 man ball screen so he could drive it hard to his right hand. With him putting so much pressure on the defense with the drive, it allowed the 5 man great rebounding position if he would have missed the shot. See More
