In this on-court presentation, NBA head coach Dwane Casey teaches you over 10 set plays from various inbound positions that have multiple options/counters to get a quick 2- or 3-pointer out of a timeout when the game is on the line.

You will learn the spacing and timing to spring your shooters for quality looks, with multiple options when well-guarded. You'll get a strong understanding of Coach Casey's scoring strategies by watching players execute plays from out of bounds on the sideline and endline, on both sides of the floor, with and without defense

Sideline Out-of-Bounds Plays

To make sure the sideline plays work, Casey demonstrates tips and strategies to force the inbounder to pass with their weak hand and how to use decoy players to draw attention away from your primary action.

You'll see five plays, each with multiple options. Coach Casey runs through scoring options for quick 3-pointers off cuts, down screens and flare screens, as well as options going to the basket. He details a Raptors play where they use a scissoring action off a screener at the nail with the point guard starting in the backcourt, where it can be inbounded, and serving as an outlet if needed.

Casey also demonstrates three sideline out-of-bounds plays using back screens that can be used to catch a lob at the basket or to catch and shoot a 3-pointer when there is less than a second left on the clock.

Endline Out-of-Bounds Plays

After showing a set up to quickly break a press when there are no timeouts left, Casey demonstrates five plays from the baseline when there is a short clock. He shows the sequence of reads for most positions to get behind the line to shoot a 3-pointer, using clean up (pick the picker) actions and flare screens.

He also demonstrates two plays with the posts at the elbows, with some quick actions to get them the ball diving to the basket if there is less than a second left on the clock.

Additionally, Coach Casey provides great detail on timing, angles of screens, counters and footwork, which help execute the plays successfully.

This video is a 'must-have' for coaches who need simple but effective actions to score from a dead ball when the pressure is highest. With Coach Casey leading the players through the plays, with and without defense, you will clearly see all the options for getting your team the best possible scoring opportunity in these special situations.
