About This Play/Drill

Last night this play was run at the beginning of the game between the Florida Gators and Mississippi State.

It struck me as such a strong opening play that I had to diagram it and share with the other coaches out there.

A lot of movement, the use of the DHO and at the end, a perfectly played pass inside for the seal action and easy basket.

A great play to open the game when you have a strong 5 man who can get the 1st position inside and go to work.

Billy Donovan runs some of the most dynamic sets in the college game today.

1 (Wilbekin - 5) executes a DHO with 2 (Frazier II - 20) on the wing

4 (Yeguete - 15) slids over to the opposite block
After executing the DHO on the wing, 1 (Wilbekin - 5) runs the baseline and on the weak side receives a low screen from 4 (Yeguete - 15)

3 (Prather - 24) cuts over the top to the opposite side

5 (Young - 4) flashes to the elbow and receives the pass from 2 (Frazier II - 20)
On the elbow pass:

3 (Prather - 24) cuts back door t the opposite side

2 (Frazier II - 20) cuts off the post looking for a possible hand-off

5 (Young - 4) turns and executes a middle DHO with 1 (Wilbekin - 5) lifting off the wing
1 (Wilbekin - 5) comes off the DHO looking to penetrate, but is stoped

4 (Yeguete - 15) lifts to the top of the key for the pass and quickly looks to hit 5 (Young - 4) sealing in the middle of the lane for an easy opening basket
