what is set play and open play?
I think you might mean: static set play and transition play.
In static set play, every player keeps his own position and does not leave it during static set play. The ways players can get to chances to score a goal are: individual 1:1 actions, trying to bind two defenders to create a chance for other players, contra passes, express passes and blocking defenders` movements by the pivot.
In transition play one or more players change positions to create shot chances by crossing, wing players going to pivot positions, backcourt players going to pivot positions. Which transition move to play is mostly decided in the third phase of the attacking moments of the play.
