Basketball Set Plays (31)

Eliminating Losing Plays to Win More Games Teams that can win 65 percent of their possessions in a game set themselves up well for success. North Dakota State head coach Dave Richman believes simple fundamentals can help teams win those crucial possessions and build successful programs. In this video, Coach Richman discusses the framework for winning which includes being prepared for those late-game, win-or-lose situations. You will watch as Coach Richman gives you ideas on how to keep all of your players engaged on every play. Watch as athletes lock in during warmups, transition drills, rebound situations, and defensive scenarios. Energy Drills Oftentimes, practices do not start with energy. Coach Richman offers up an effective way to build energy early in a practice. Three simple drills allow coaches to test how much effort players are actually giving early on in practice. These drills set the stage and reinforce fundamental plays on the ball. Using these drills also translates into fewer turnovers in the long run. “8-to-Great-to-Late” Possession Philosophy Some feel the “8-to-Great-to-Late” possession philosophy is too up-tempo. Richman doesn’t. He likes to let his players play within the limits of this possession practice. He does so for the following reasons: The offense utilizes space, takes advantage of momentum, and is always on the attack Keeps the game simple with east-west movement creating north-south scoring chances Allows for comfort in late shot clock and late-game situations and exposes undisciplined defenses Conversion Level Drill This drill helps players work on matchup adjustments on defense. Coach Richman goes through all the personnel assignments using this drill. Players then understand how to adjust to different types of scoring threats that they will go up against. The greatest part of Coach Richman’s presentation is that it gives a purpose and focus to why fundamentals are so important. You will see how emphasis on fundamentals is the key to winning crucial situations in games. This video is a great guide for new coaches and a refresher for veterans that need to stay on top of their game.

In this video, Monson shares his ideas of how to generate more 3-point shots in the offense. He details his philosophy including transition, the secondary break, and how set plays can become transition plays resulting in a fast break 3-point attempt. 3-Point Philosophy and Fundamentals Monson reveals his philosophy of being a 3-point shooting team.

He reviews the importance of good footwork as well as passing. Monson shows you a simple drill that will help your players become better at shot preparation. The Flow Game To Monson, the Flow Game is the secondary break. In this segment, Coach Monson breaks down eight different options that can be run in transition.

These plays can be used in a half-court setting or run from the fast break. Iowa: Find an open shooter in the corner with the “Hammer” action. Pop: Using an unusual alignment and tons of movement, this play confuses defenses and creates multiple shot opportunities. Wide & Flat: Open up the court for the point guard with two plays that synchronize screens for your best shooters. Spartan: Follow up your double drag pick and roll with additional screens to create an open shot. Coach Monson also gives you his favorite zone beater, “Slash.” The play uses quick ball movement and dribble penetration to occupy defenders and leave a shooter open for a 3-point attempt.

Steve Pikiell: Creative Play Calling For the coach that is currently in or taking over a program that struggles, this video from Rutgers head coach Steve Pikiell can help you become more competitive. Pikiell was the first player for legendary UConn head coach Jim Calhoun to become a Division I head coach when he took over at Stony Brook in 2005. Pikiell slowly rebuilt the program into an America East Conference power. He shows you how to get more with less and adds in some set plays and inbounds plays that you can use in your programs. The Importance of Vocabulary and Communication Successful teams are the ones that are able to communicate in a quick, efficient manner. Coach Pikiell shows you how to develop such a system to make sure you and your players are on the same page. One of the big reasons for a simple communication system is to package plays. Pikiell’s teams have been able to create lots of scoring opportunities by utilizing communication in the Wide series. In this series, Pikiell uses a variety of screens and other actions to get all of his players involved. Ultimately, Coach Pikiell takes advantage of his players’ best skills and uses them to the team’s advantage. Communication helps in doing so. Developing an Identity One of the big steps in rebuilding a program is the developing of an identity. Since there is no single identity that is “best,” Pikiell gives some ideas as to how one might go about developing an identity and coming up with at least one thing a team “can hang its hat on.” One of the ideas is the use of the 1-3-1 zone defense. Pikiell presents the 1-3-1 and using it as a half-court trap to take advantage of a team’s personnel. Another idea is the use of the 2-2-1 press and adjusting it to fit different levels of talent. Pikiell discusses the idea of “no middle, no layup, good defense” as something a team could hang its hat on. Getting Victories with Inbounds Plays Pikiell believes you can build confidence in a program and one of the ways to do so is through inbounds plays. In this segment, Coach Pikiell presents a number of inbounds plays from a box alignment and then goes into a few more from the double-stack alignment. He even shows you how to take advantage of a “screen magnet” and free up a player under the basket for an easy basket. With experience in rebuilding programs, Pikiell stresses the idea of building a system that suits your personnel. Keep things simple and design a system that can adapt and adjust depending upon personnel and situation.

He puts emphasis on the timing, screening angles, and the execution of the pop or the roll by the post player setting the screen. For guards, Coach Kruger stresses the importance of proper screening angles and understanding the strengths of your players. For those who are better drivers, the screens are set inside the 3-point line. For shooters, screens are set outside the 3-point arc. For posts setting ball screens, Coach Kruger likes to utilize the strength of the individual player again. Shooters have the freedom to step out and hit the 3-pointer. Better inside players are taught to roll to the basket and look for the ball. Offense Against Zone Defenses Coach Kruger also shows you how to break the 2-3 zone using a 1-3-1 look.

Duke Basketball: Quick Hitting Actions for Motion Offense Current Northwestern head coach Chris Collins spent over a decade as an assistant at Duke, where he played in college, learning the ins and outs of the Blue Devils’ highly effective, quick-hitting offense. In this video, Collins shares 10 different actions. They are fast-paced, short executions based on a quick read of a defense. One initial read can result in up to ten different options for a total of over 50 scoring opportunities. Each action set is based on the initial pass from the point guard. There is no set pattern of passes or any repetitive movements in these actions. This is to ensure that the defense has no time to get set and cannot predict what your team is going to do next. After the initial pass, there will be four to six options available to create a scoring opportunity. Collins presents 10 fundamentally sound and strong movements that is sure to improve your team’s overall play. Wide and Corner: Attack the defense by passing ahead in transition. Both Wide and Corner attack a defense before it has time to set up and offer support with help defenders. Exchange and Shallow: A dribble entry to the wing initiates both of these actions that are used to counter aggressive wing denial. Hand offs and ball screens force the defense to scramble on the weak side. Release and Flash: When defenses overplay guards, get the posts involved in these actions. Back cuts and post flashes take advantage of vulnerable defenses that attempt to pressure guards. Through and Circle: These sets prevent your team from standing around using movement to create passing and scoring opportunities. Up and Down: These sets occupy defenders and encourage a quick ball reversal which can lead to scoring opportunities. Both sets force action on the weak side with screens. With the number of options available in these actions, you should be able to find something that you can use and build into your own offense. With minimal effort, you can easily modify any of Coach Collins’ actions and suit them to fit the strengths of your individual players.

Coach Crean breaks down the box set series into its components. Different actions can be run out of the same box set, which can cause confusion for the defense. The first box set puts two perimeter players at their elbows, and then flows into a triangle with a ball side. Defense faces many problems due to the flare screen and "split" post feed action. These plays are designed to reverse the ball and force one defense to defend two of the offensive players on the weaker side. Box #2 is a late 3-pointer that places a shooter on a block to the left. Box 3 is a misdirection play using ball screens. The perimeter spacing allows for cross-screen action and screen the screener action. Box #4 is ideal for a lay-up coming out of a timeout. Refusing to use the ball screen can result in penetration, dish possibilities, or a lay-up. The flare screen in Box #5 creates a hard back screen for the post player, sending him to open block area for position. A double screen is available for your post player to make a jump shot. The last box play creates an isolation to a guard, double screen for a shooter, and an over-the top chest cut. 63 minutes. 2007.
