Two Proven Sideline Inbounds Plays with Multiple Options
By adam.warner - Last updated: Wednesday, December 12, 2012
In this week’s Playbook Series, we break down a pair of effective sideline inbounds plays that provide teams with a variety of options to score the basketball. First follow the breakdown of each play before watching them simulated out on the basketball court. These proven plays will make a great addition to the playbook this season.
Three-Point Thriller
Submitted by Gene Keady, Former head coach at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana
The Set-up: Player 3 inbounds the ball on the sideline. Player 4 starts in near corner while 2 is on the near block. Player 1 is on the farside block and player 5 is at the top of the key. This play has two options.
Option 1: Player 4 screens down for 2, who pops out to the baseline corner for a shot. If you need a two-point look, player 4 is also an option.
Option 2: Player 5 screens down for 1. If player 1 can’t shoot after getting the ball up top, he/she can pass to player 3, who follows his pass and looks for the spot-up jumper.
Box Play From the Sideline
Submitted by Tom Moriarty, Oneonta High School, Oneonta, New York
The Set-up: Player 3 takes the ball out of bounds. 5 starts on the near low block, while 4 is at the top of the key aligned with the near lane line. Player 2 is on the farside block and 1 is on the opposite top of key area aligned with the far lane line.
The Action: Player 2 starts by breaking to the near corner off a low screen set by 5. Player 4 starts toward the ball and then loops off a backscreen set by 1. 1 pops out and receives the ball.
Next, player 1 reverses the ball to 4 as 3 makes a low cut from out of bounds and off a backscreen by 5. Player 5 rolls back to the middle of the lane and posts up. 1 screens away for 2, who comes high for a shot or ball reversal. If 2 reverses the ball to 1, 5 makes a back screen for 4, who makes a low post cut.

“Special Teams” Situations: Key Tips and Plays for Free Throws and Baseline Inbounding
By adam.warner - Last updated: Wednesday, September 5, 2012
By taking advantage of baseline inbound plays and missed free throws, basketball teams at every level can creatively attack the basket and pick up extra points. Follow along as Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo reveals some of his key strategies for free throw situations and under-the-basket inbounds plays, including three different looks using the same play.
Free Throw Strategies
Start by getting two offensive players lined up inside their typical lane blocks during a free throw situation. With this strategy, look to get one player cutting in hard to the middle of the paint area, while the opposite player is spinning behind his inside defensive counterpart.
Make sure that the players give a signal about what they plan to do. The key here is to do something aggressive in order to get to the ball. It doesn’t matter if both players come to the middle or to the outside, they just can’t stand there. The overall goal is to get one basket out of this strategy per game.
Backcourt Players: As for the guys behind the free throw line, align one player to the side wing area just beyond the three-point line. As the shot is taken, there will be a signal by the two inside guys. The backcourt players must recognize this.
If the backcourt player’s teammate on the same side is going in hard to the middle, then he/she will cut toward the basket fast on an angle to fill that vacated area. It’s key that all five players do something aggressive to get to the rim. Also, don’t forget that your players can’t move until the ball hits the rim.
Baseline Out of Bounds Plays
Chips: Set 1 – Coach Izzo likes to run this baseline out of bounds play out of different sets.
The Set-up: Start by setting up two big guys on the low blocks and then two smaller players stacked just above the free throw line. Get your best shooter as the first guy in the stacked group. The two block guys start by popping out to their respective corners. Next, the first shooter cuts down and the guard behind him cuts back beyond the top of the key.
Player Movements: Now, let’s say the ball is passed to the ballside corner guy. From there, he quickly reverses it to the top of the key guard. When this happens, have the first shooter screen for the inbounder. Next, get the former ballside block player to screen down for the first shooter. This shooter can now pop out to the corner/side for a catch and shot.
Notes: This play involves a bit of inside and outside action. Pay particular attention to the options for the inbounder as he’s cutting through the lane. He can go low or high and the point guard up top should be looking for him as he cuts through the lane.
Also, when the pass goes from the point guard down to the corner shooter, the shooter has the option to dump it down to his former screener for a layup chance. It all depends on how the defense plays it. Of course, the shooter can also just rip that jumper if open.
Chips: Line Set
For this set, get in a stacked line on the lane line ballside. Here, the two bigs cut to opposite corners and the point guard pops back — just like before. It’s essentially the same play just from a different set. So why is this so effective? It’s not as confusing for players and you can get more plays in since the end result is very similar.
Chips: Box Set
This box set is great for those times when teams are overplaying. Once again, everything is the same except for the starting set.

3 Proven Under-the-Basket Inbounds Plays Perfect for All Levels
By adam.warner - Last updated: Wednesday, June 13, 2012
Add some exciting new elements to your playbook this season with these proven under-the-basket inbounds plays. The following sets – designed to counter and surprise any defensive scheme — will give your team a crucial edge during pressure situations. Be sure to read through each play description before watching them simulated live on the basketball court.
Flash Hard
Submitted by Greg Siesel, Monroeville HS, Monroeville, OH
The Set-up: 3 inbounds the ball. 5 starts on the ballside low block. 4 starts on the weakside low block. 2 begins at the ballside elbow and 1 is in the near corner on the ballside (just beyond the three-point arc).
The Action: 5 sets a cross screen for 4, who breaks towards the ball and posts up on the ballside block. 1 sets a screen for 2, who breaks to the nearside corner behind the three-point arc. 3 passes to 2.
Next, 4 and 1 set a double screen across the lane for 5, who pops up near the top of the key on the ballside and 2 passes to 5. 3 ducks in behind 4’s screen on the ballside lane. 5 then passes to 3. 4 and 1 curl from their screens and roll towards the basket.
The Finish: 3 can take the shot or kick it out to 2 for an open jumper. 4 and 1 should box out for a rebound on any shot.
Box Set Baseline Inbounds Play
Submitted by Mike Burris, Olney Central College, Olney, IL
The Set-up: This play works well against a zone defense. 3 is the inbounder. 5 and 4 are on the low blocks with 5 being on the ballside. 1 and 2 are at the elbows, with 1 on the ballside.
The Action: 5 cuts to the ballside corner and 3 hits 5 with a pass. 1 slides across the foulline and sets a cross screen for 2, who cuts across and heads to the ballside wing area. 5 throws a quick pass to 2.
Next, 1 breaks down and sets a down screen on 3’s defender. 3 uses the screen and breaks to the top, hopefully bringing the bottom defender out to the top with him/her. 5 slides across the baseline and sets a cross screen for 1, who curls around the screen and fades into the ballside corner.
The Finish: 2 first looks to hit 3 for a three-pointer at the top of the key, and then looks to 5 slipping to the hoop after setting the screen. He/she can also hit 1 in the corner for a three-point shot.
Bruin with Counters
Submitted by Jimmy Brown, former HC at Georgia Southern, Statesboro, GA
The Set-up: 1 is the inbounder. 2 is at the top of the key. 3 is on the ballside wing area. 4 and 5 are stacked just outside the ballside lane line, between the elbow and low block.
The Action: First, 3 cuts ahead of 2 and breaks for the basket. 4 and 5 set a double screen (towards the middle of the lane) for 2, who comes off the screen and receives the pass from 1 in the near corner for an open jumper. 1 looks for 3 first, and then 2.
The Finish: If 2 gets the ball but doesn’t have a clear shot, 4 and 5 roll towards the basket and set a double screen for 1, who breaks inbounds and heads for the top of the key. 2 quickly swings the ball to 1 for an open shot at the top of the key.
As a counter, line up the ball the same way as before. When the ball is handed to 1, 3 fakes going over top of the double screen and breaks back to the ballside wing. 2 fakes going over top of the screen and V-cuts back towards the basket. The second option remains the same.
As a second counter, from the same original alignment, 4 breaks to the opposite block and 5 breaks to the ballside block. 1 looks for either 4 or 5 down low. If the defense is used to 4 and 5 being screeners from this alignment, it may catch them off guard.

3 Effective Sideline Inbounds Plays to Implement This Season
By adam.warner - Last updated: Wednesday, January 11, 2012
In this week’s Playbook Series, we break down three sideline inbounds plays that have paid major dividends for a trio of college basketball programs. For each play, make sure that you first follow the breakdown before seeing them simulated live on the basketball court.
Side-Out Play for Any Situation
Submitted by Tubby Smith, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, University of Minnesota
The Set-Up: 3 takes the ball out on the side. 1 and 2 line up in the lane, with 2 at the nearside low block area, and 1 just below the elbow. 5 starts in the ballside corner near the three-point line. 4 begins up at the top of the key and just beyond the three-point line.
The Action: 1 breaks up and screens for 4 and then rolls to the top of the three-point circle. 4 uses 1’s screen and cuts hard to the basket. 5 then screens in for 2, who rolls underneath the screen and pops into the near corner.
The Finish: 3 looks for a lob pass to 4 in the lane or hits 2 in the corner. 2 can shoot from there or dump it into 5 in the low block area. 1 rolls to the top and acts as a safety valve.
Another Option: If there’s no initial shot, 3 inbounds to the safety outlet 1. 1 takes the pass and then dribbles to the left and at the top of the key. While 1 is dribbling left, 4 pops out beyond the three-point line around the far wing area (free throw line extended), while 5 and 2 break up and set staggered screens for 3. Next, 1 passes to 4. 3 can come over the top or underneath the staggered screens and then cuts toward the basket. 4 should look for 3 on the cut to the hoop for an inside shot.
