Kansas ran this entry into offense against Texas at the 17:15 mark of the first half of their game on 1/19/13.
Kansas usually runs a similar set with a backdoor, flare screen (for PG), then the posts double down for the opposite wing who point guard replaced off the flare.
This "ear pull" was a variation on that set that Bill Self has had so much success with over the years at Kansas.
If the lob is not there, this set can easily flow into KU's high/low offense
Start in stacks set (Posts screen for guards in block area)
Guards (McLemore and Releford) get high and wide on wings
Posts (Young and Withey) sprint to high post and catch the ball on the move
PG (Johnson) brings the ball up the middle of the floor so he can pass to either post
Point guard passes to post (Johnson to Withey)
Opposite post (Young) sets backscreen for point guard (Johnson)
Post (Withey) throws push pass lob to point guard (Johnson)
