About This Play/Drill

This is a set the Belmont Bruins brought with them to the 2019 NCAA Tournament. It's a great set for a wing scorer to drive the ball against his defender. This set is part of a larger series of plays we will call "Nail". It's great set for a "stretch 4" or great screener who can shoot the 3.

  • This set starts with a wing/perimeter scorer on the nail with two bigs flanking him on the elbows. He exits to the side he prefers and catches on the wing.

  • The point guard clears to the other block, and Belmont wants the ballside post clear.

  • Both bigs rush over to set a tight double screen on the ballhandler to turn and attack or fill the top of the key.

  • The first double screener then turns back to set a flare screen for the second screener to cat a pass off the flare cut.
