Tom Crean 2-Pack

Coach Crean takes the box set series and breaks it down into parts. The box set can confuse the defense by running different action out of the same set. The first box set places two perimeter players at the elbows and flows into a ball side triangle. The flare screen and post feed "split" action creates several problems for the defense. The goal of these plays is to reverse the ball and force one defender to guard two offensive players on the weak side. Box #2 places a shooter on the left block and is a good late 3-point shot. Box #3 is a misdirection play with ball screens. Spacing out on the perimeter allows the cross screen action and the screen the screener action to materialize. Box #4 is perfect for a lay up coming out of a time out. Refusal of the ball screen creates penetration and dish possibilities or a lay up. The flare screen in Box #5 sets up a hard back screen on the post, sending him to the open block area for post position. The last option is a double screen for your post player for a jump shot. The final box play creates an isolation for a guard, a double screen for a shooter and an over-the-top chest cut.

Coach Crean opens this presentation with offensive strategies against the Box and one defense. Two special plays, Post and #1 Strong, are demonstrated on the floor in a 5-on-5 setting. Both sets take advantage of opportunities available when the zone is attacked properly. Raider is a special play used against the 3 Out 2 In defense. Plays with 1 or 2 seconds remaining are demonstrated that will give you a chance to win games at the buzzer. Crean shows a box OB play with multiple options with 2- and 3-point features. The stack OB play becomes a 1-4 flat alignment featuring a hard cross screen and seal by the screener. From the side OB situation, the Triangle plays are designed for an open 3-pointer or a lay up. In the half court, a series of plays are strategically executed to score at key times late in the game. These plays include 2- and 3-point options, hand offs, several types of screens, multiple pick and rolls and penetration. These strategies are clarified by adding five defenders to defend these plays. This video is packed with tips, plays and ideas for late clock success!
