Today's Play of the Day is one of the classic lob plays against a zone. Run by great programs like Cincinnati and North Carolina time and time again, the offense lulls the zone to sleep with perimeter passing, then strikes for a lob with two back screens on the bottom of the zone. That frees up the lob on the opposite side, and a well-thrown pass will break down the zone. See More

The Chicago Bulls used this BLOB during the 2014/2015 NBA season. A simple back screen gives the screener an option to use an elevator effectively afterwards. If X1 bumps on the basket cut, than 1 will have a clear path through the elevator. If X1 and X2 decide to switch the back screen, than 1 fakes setting the screen and slips through the elevator earlier. See More

The Denver Nuggets used this play during the 2014/2015 NBA season. It's designed to give Kenneth Faried a chance to score within 15 feet distance to the basket. If he can't get open on the curl, than he sprints up to set a ball screen. See More

This past Summer at Coaching U Live in Indianapolis, Florida head coach Billy Donovan shared a play from his Hook series. Below are two options that put the defense in hard-to-guard situations. In Option 1, the backside is cleared out so if X5 does not help on the backscreen, 1 will get a lay-up. IF X5 does help, there will be no help on the pick & roll. Option 2 forces X5 to be late on the pick. IF X5 and X1 switch, lift 1 to the top after screening and roll 5 to the rim for a mis-match inside. See More

This play creates a drive for your guard. The flare screen action, which the defender of 4 has to react too, makes it hard for him to contain on the ball screen action. This opens up a huge lane to attack for the guard handling the ball. See More

Running different plays out of the same initial formation makes your team harder to scout and harder for your opponent to beat you to spots on the court. See below for a number of different BOBs that can be run from the same formation. See More

Very common play entry to create a pick & roll on top. This one progresses with a small addition that might gives you a lob, but in any case another ball screen in the middle of the floor. See More

If you are looking for an alley-oop dunk, this play might work perfectly for you. Requirements to be met are an athletic player running the 3 and 4. The first back screen functions as a decoy so that the defender of 2 overhelps early and isn't able to help on the second back screen. See More

Late game situations are becoming more important as the talent gap in all levels get closer. Here is a set that we used when I was at Pinecrest that allowed us to bring our shooter from the weak side to the strong side as the defense defended the drive. You can easily put your number 1 scoring option in the 3 spot as an adjustment. See More

Introduce flare screens by using a shallow cut. Line of players with a ball at the slot (screeners), Line of players at wing (cutters). Coach begins the drill with a ball as well. Work the drill on both sides of the court! Shallow Cut Tips: When dribbled at, the wing (player 2) back cuts towards the post then loops to the slot replacing player 1 Cut hard, hold for a count in the post, then sprint to slot Flare Screen Tips: Cutter: Quick basket cut then come off the flare screen Screener: Call the screen! ("Joey! Joey! Flare! Flare!") Screener: Jumpstop into the screen, screener's back should be pointing towards corner of the court, Hold the screen then slip to basket, call "slip! slip!" See More
