Basketball Plays - "Stack" Out-of-bounds Plays
From the Coach’s Clipboard Basketball Playbook, @ http://www.coachesclipboard.netHere are some plays using the "stack" or line setup. The most important thing is to make a good in-bounds pass. Do not force a bad pass.
Stack 1, Stack 2 (Double-Stack), Stack 3, Stack 4, and Stack 5.
Also see out-of-bounds Box Plays, 4-Low Plays, Zone Plays, and More OB Plays.
Out-of-Bounds Play "Stack 1"It's amazing how often I see this very simple play result in an easy lay-up for the 3rd player in the stack! The first two players in the stack are good outside shooters and split right and left. Usually the defenders will follow them. In the confusion, the 3rd player in the stack slips into the space vacated by the first two, and surprisingly often, will be open for a simple lay-up. The 4th player in the stack drops back for safety outlet. If the pass goes to the corner or to the point, O5 should slip into the low post for a quick pass back (see red arrows). |

Out-of-Bounds Play "Stack-2" or "Double Stack"
Set-up this play with a double stack. Have your two post players position themselves on the low blocks. Have your two best outside shooting guards stack on each side right behind the post players (see diagram A).The post player nearest the ball (O4) cross-screens for the opposite post player (O5), who cuts across the lane for the pass and power lay-up (Diagram B). O4 seals the X5 defender to establish inside position. If the defense switches the screen, then O4 should be open for the pass and lay-up (diagram C).
O1 and O2 make V-cuts toward the paint, and then cut to the corners for the possible pass and three-point shot. If O2 does not receive the pass, he/she cuts out on top as our safety. If O2 gets the pass, then O1 moves out on top.
Out-of-Bounds Play "Stack 3"
 |
Here is another very simple stack play.
O1, O2 and O4 set a triple screen as O3 cuts out to the short corner for the shot. |
Out-of-Bounds Play "Stack 4"
Here is another stack play. See diagram A below. O4 is the inbounder. O1 and O5 cut to the hoop (diagram B). O3 screens for O2. O2 cuts to the middle of the paint. O4 can hit the early cutters O1 or O5, or hit O2 coming over the middle. After screening for O2, O3 should move out on top for the outlet pass (and defensive safety).
Out-of-Bounds Play "Stack 5"
This play results in shot for the inbounder O5. See diagram A below. O1 splits right, O2 splits left and receives the pass from O5. O3 stays put and O4 splits out to receive the pass from O2. See diagram B. O3 sets a pick for O5 coming inbounds. See diagram C. O5 cuts around O3’s screen and gets the inside pass from O4. O4 can also pass to O2 for the corner 3-pointer.
