When the offense passes the ball to the corner we want to trap the player with the ball and force a soft lob pass over the zone that we can pick off.

This is a play out of the Stack formation that has multiple options for quick scores.

This extremely simple inbounds play will help you to get the ball thrown in without turning it over...and maybe score some points.

This is a classic set that has gotten many teams layups over the years. The pick-the-picker action confuses the defense and leaves open opportunities at the rim.

Iowa ran this BLOB to try and get shooters open when they needed a 3. The over cut and elevator action is tough for defenses to defend.

This is a very simple play designed to get an open mid-range shot for our best shooter or an open layup for one of our bigs.

Jeff Capel and Pittsburgh ran this play and had some success with it in ACC play.This is a good set if you have a shoote

"4 Low Clear" is an inbounds play that becomes an isolation set for a driver out of 4-low alignment. This is a simple set that can get the ball to one of your best playmakers and give them space to make a play.

This classic baseline inbounds set helps to get your shooter (1) a clean look from 3.

A simple BLOB that can be used at any level to try to go for a quick score.

In the 2-3 Zone Defense you want to avoid the ball going to the High Post at all cost! If it happens anyways, a good passer has 4 passing options which makes it very hard to defend. Our goal is to pack the zone and prevent a high-low pass. At the same time, defenders need to be prepared to close out on shooters after a pass.

When the ball is in the corner we try to prevent passes to the high post and low post. We can sag off and pack the paint, or force the player with the ball to make a play.

When the ball is on the wing the job on the zone defense is: * To deny a pass to the high post (very dangerous) * Deny a pass to the low post We are okay with passes to the corner or back to the top of the key / ball reversal.

In the 2-3 zone defense with the ball at the top of the key our job is to: * Make sure that the point guard can't attack the paint * Deny the pass to the high post We are encouraging a pass to the wing, the forwards have to be ready to help out if necessary.

The 2-3 zone is the most popular and well-known zone defense. It can be used as a way to change pace, slow down a more aggressive team, or equal the playing field. It can also be used as a way to showcase your athleticism and length, force turnovers, and make teams uncomfortable.

With this option, you are positioning your inside player at the free throw line or elbows (think Princeton offense).This

If you’re using this option, you have a post player who is a threat when they catch the ball inside and you want to get
