The Slice formation allows the option to alter your alignment and bring any player off of the flex screen to a post up. In this Celtics set play for a KG post up, the play can start out of a normal Slice alignment, or a corner-filled “Weak” alignment. See More

This is also a Celtics counter to Slice Roll. This time, instead of the 4 receiving a staggered rip screen, the 2 receives a stagger screen for a catch and shoot opportunity. See More

With Ray Allen at the 2, new Slice options are introduced to provide him with catch and shoot opportunities. In Slice Double, the initial action is the same, but it is a setup to get Allen’s defender on the high side in the post, at which time he reverses back off a stagger screen from 4 and 5 with his defender trailing.

UNC Secondary B3 option: The trailer has the option to downscreen for the weakside wing if denied. That action triggers the B3 option. It is a read not a call. Players must recognize that 4 has downscreened for 3 and react accordingly. 3 can curl, back cut, straight cut or out cut the downscreen depending on how they are defended. See More

Counters to the UNC Secondary Break. "Dribble" option is a counter to denial of pass to the trailing post. It is a read not a call. Players react to point guard dribbling over the high ball screen from the trailer. Tips: 2's rule is the same: Touch the block then backscreen for trailer 4 goes and sets the ball screen even with the lane line 2 takes one or two dribbles after separating from the screen and looks to make "scoop" entry into the post See More

1 pitches the ball ahead and again the 2 looks to reverse the ball to the trailing 4 man. The difference is that after the 1 hits the 2 (or goes DHO with the 2) the 1 fills the strong side corner. The 4 will then reverse the ball to the 3 on the weak side. The 5 then steps to set a screen on the 2 for the slice cut (a great opportunity to post a strong guard). After setting the screen for the 2 and after reversing the ball to the 3, the 5 and 4 then set a double staggered screen for the 1 and wheel action is initiated. As the 1 receives the pass, the 5 and 4 continue to screen the 2 who looks for the shot off the second double staggered. To close the play the 4 cross screens for the 5 and post up action can ensue or an SPNR. See More

In the 2015 NCAA Tournament, Northern Iowa ran this ATO play at the end of their game vs Louisville. What I love about this action is the stagger sells the play so hard that the flare is unexpected at the end. See More

Here is an little adjustment to the UCLA to Ball Screen action that I posted earlier. Here we use the UCLA (rub cut) and allow the Post to reverse the ball to change the sides of the floor. You can get a nice ISO inside early on the reversal or you can wait for the jumper as the second option. See More

This play starts with a pass to the left wing and a UCLA cut from the point guard to the ball-side block. If your point guard can post up, this is an easy look inside. If not, the ball can be reversed creating a situation for a cross-screen/stagger-screen action sending 3 to the basket and 1 to the top of the key for a shot. See More

Here is a multiple stagger set play from Wichita State. The play starts with an entry pass to the wing and a back-screen for the point guard. As the point cuts into the lane, 4 moves to the ball-side block looking for the post up. The first staggered screen is then set getting the shooting guard the ball at the top of the key. If no shot is available, 5 and 2 play a pick-and-roll as 3 cuts off of a baseline staggered screen to the corner. See More

Here is a nice little ATO set that can be used in late game situations or when you need a basket. Starting in a 1-4 High alignment can allow for the defense to be vulerable to the back door cut. Nonetheless the ball screen actions will draw a lot of attention and allow for the three on the wing or the reversal and throw inside. See More

Gonzaga ran this set against Duke to utilize high-low/post players. They were successful in picking and popping and driving to the rim. It's important for timing that as soon as 4 sets first screen must sprint into high ball screen. See More
