Offense Option Town/Fingers

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...

DESCRIPTION

(Play to the Left side of the Court shown, used when there is no full court press)

Ball Handler calls out a Name of Town and holds up 1, 2 or 3 Fingers while bringing the ball up in HIS OWN HALF and when TEAMMATES HAVE GOTTEN DOWN THE FLOOR

Ball Handler moves his defender to the Right with the dribble, performs low & fast cross over to gain advantage moving to his Left.

Left Wing times his move toward Low Corner's Defender to provide a Screen or Distraction, then moves to the spot vacated by the Low Corner and tries to draw his defender with him.

Low Corner times his cut to the Wing to receive the pass from the cutting Ball Handler and then looks to pass right back into the key.

Once ball is in the Key the player has the following options:

1. Go in for the lay up (no or bad help D from low post defenders)

2. Dish to the Low Corners (if help D arrives to prevent layup)

3. Dish to elbow (Right side) where the player who set the screen rolls for the safety valve pass or to provide support for rebounding

4. Pass ball back to Left Wing (former Low Corner), who has moved into position at the top to prevent fast break and to provide active help as a safety valve

COACHING POINTS

Players must get down the floor and stay in the ready position when in their spots (look active!)

Ball handler must call the play early and move with a purpose to force the defender to go one way or the other (if he lets you go you just go into the key, if not, play is initiated)
