Favorite Send to FastDrawOne of my favorite entries into a typical high-low short corner zone offense. Flare screen sets up a three-point opportunity after time out if needed. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawVery effective in attacking a 3-2 zone. This play creates an open 3 point look in the corner and multiple options to score with. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawTeams use the triangle & two defense to shut down the offensive efficiency of two star players. The following play is designed to put one of the defending players in a disadvantage. Either a corner shot or a pass inside will be open. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Box & One defense is a very common way to shut down a star player. You can use the following play, if your point guard is the one being guarded one on one. Your big man becomes the main threat easily. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Cyclones run this BLOB play vs 2-3 zone defenses. A typical overload play to get the ball inside. As you can see in frame 2, X5 is forced to step up to the high post to guard the ball. X4 is left on his own guarding two players (5 & 2) at the same time. One of them will be open to recieve a pass.

Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Davidson Wildcats use this BLOB play against 2-3 zone defenses. The entire outcome is based on a misdirection action. The two bigs set screens to get the shooter (inbounder) open. Then the action on the other side of the court occurs. A ball screen and baseline screen to either get a shot from the short corner or a seal inside. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Commodores use this BLOB vs 2-3 zone defenses. It helps to put a shooter on the inbounder spot. This makes the defense closeout on his cut to the corner and opens up space in the middle for the two bigs. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawTrailing by 2 with 20 seconds left and facing a UIC 2-3 zone defense Depaul went to a horns action against the zone. They made it difficult for UIC’s zone to determine when to bump and when to stay defending the ball and it ultimately led to an open game winning 3. Keep in mind Depaul didn't hit the shot off the initial action, but the action broke UIC down and led to the wide open 3 pointer. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is a great quick hitter that puts a 2-3 zone in a few tough situations. This play works best if 4 is a threat to shoot the 3 at the top of the key. Once 1 initiates the play and swings the ball, quick ball movement and spacing put x4 in a spot where they have to figure out to whom they want to give the wide open 3. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is a fantastic zone offense that can be run at all levels. It is the perfect "First Zone Offense" to be taught at the middle school or sub varsity level with easy setup and rules. There is also enough options that more advanced levels of basketball would see success with this offense. Options/Variations From 1-4 set, high post entry. Look for the post that did not receive the entry to dive to the basket. This is hard to guard at all levels. From the wing with posts at short corner/high post, high post entry. Look for the post at the short corner to cut across the lane to the opposite block. From the wing with posts at short corner/high post, skip pass. Posts can X cut or straight cut. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawWe ran this play years ago when I was an assistant coach at Sentinel High School in Missoula Montana. This works great vs 2-3 zone. Key Point 1 - Swing the ball around the perimeter to shift the zone Key Point 2 - Timing is key, 3 should be coming off the back screen as 1 comes off ball screen. 1 dribble and throw it up See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawTied 63-63 against UMKC we turned to the side ball screen action against their match-up 2-3 zone they played for nearly 40 minutes. The key was a great screen by #4 Amiker, which eliminated the ball defender. The weakside guard of their zone had to stop our ball handler, #11 Cole in a tie game, who then kicked it to our shooter, #10 Keene on the left wing. The bottom man of the zone didn't want to leave another shooter, #1 Plummer in the corner of the floor so the top defender tried to stop ball and then recover to contest the shot. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is an effectice set versus a 3-2 zone defense. The screen actions and baseline cutter forces the defense to rotate and makes it easy for 4 to get open at the high post. Then it's read and react, depending on what the defense gives them. See More
