Basketball Plays - 4-Out 1-In Motion Offense -- "Topside" and "Counter" Plays
From the Coach’s Clipboard Basketball Playbook, @ http://www.coachesclipboard.netWe will run these two plays out of the "4-High" set (4-out motion offense). These plays may work well against teams that like to full-front our post player. Both of these plays could actually be run out of the basic 4-out motion offense, without being called a specific name. They could be taught in the context of simply learning how to read the defense.
"Topside"See the diagram at the right. This is a very simple play, but oftentimes simple plays work the best, if the executed correctly.Our post player O5 moves up to the high post, and if full-fronted, seals the defender, and cuts to the hoop for the over-the-top lob pass and lay-up. |

"Counter"
In the left-hand diagram below, notice that O5 is being full-fronted in the high post. We pass into the corner as O5 seals the defender and then cuts to the hoop and receives the pass from the corner for the lay-up.If O5 is being half-fronted, we start the play with the ball on the top, opposite O5. Then as the ball is passed around the perimeter (eventually to the corner), O5 seals and again rolls to the hoop for the pass and lay-up. The diagram shows two perimeter passes, but O2 could skip-pass directly to O3 in the corner if that pass is open. If the perimeter passes are being denied, you could have O3 backscreen for O1. O1 then flares to the corner for the skip-pass from O2.
