Today's Quote: "Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up." - Red Auerbach
Today's Theme... Sideline Plays
It's always sweet to be able to get a quick score off a sideline OB play. Have a couple in your playbook. See more in "Sideline Plays", and even more in the members section.
Line-1 - use this as a standard sideline play or a last second play. O4 starts low, sprints up and gets the pass from O3. O1 screens for O2 and after screening, cuts hard to the back-side wing for a quick pass from O4 and the shot, or lay-up, depending on how much time is left. After inbounding the ball, O3 cuts to the left wing and could also get the pass and last-second shot. If both wings are covered, O4 may have to take the shot. If time is not a factor, O2 is our safety pass in the back-court.
Line-2 - Line-2 also uses a "line" set, and we try to lob a pass to O2 going to the hoop. You can change this to fit your own personnel. O1 cuts into the back-court as safety outlet. O2 cuts hard around O5 and O4. O3 looks to make the lob pass over the top to O2 cutting to the hoop. After O2 cuts, O5 moves to the ball-side wing area and O4 cuts straight toward the ball. If the pass goes to O1, O5 or O4, then just set up in your usual half-court offense.
