I think this would also work really well against a 1-3-1 defense. I would only add the opposite post player would set a back screen on the bottom defender so the back cut player would have an open shot on the weak side. just my thoughts. nice job coach
This set is very effective another good deviation is after the 2 or 3 makes their 1st cut, if they don’t receive the pass. They continue through and set a back screen opposite side for an easy back door lay up before settling for the wheel reset.
I like this play. However, if I run this against a man to man defense I would have the 4 and 5 start off on the blocks then explode to the elbows once the point guard crosses half court. Frees them up a little better
I would like the bigger body frame of the 3-Man doing those backdoor cuts and finish against contact in the paint. My best 3-point shooter would be always be outside the 3-point line to create better Floor Spacing.
@@tidesmaniandevil lol right? Maybe it works once a game if the defender falls asleep. Doing the exact same movement on opposite sides, on repeat, isn't a great way to surprise your opponent.
Hello there! I have a 6th grade boys team, and we're running this type of set, however it didn't work all that great at our first game on Saturday. The primary issue, was our point guard getting jammed by a strong defender after cross half court. The other thing, was that the set up for the high posts weren't working, as they weren't ball strong when an entry pass was made. I ended up having them start on the blocks, then flash to the top to receive the entry. If the PG gets strong resistance from the get go, what are some strategies to get him cleared-up. Perhaps a screen from one of the wings to get things started? This is only my second year coaching, but I have a decent group of players/athletes, but they don't have experience running an offense. Thanks!
Thanks for the response! We worked on this yesterday. And the notion of the post guys flashing higher works good, as then the wing can jab step away to shed their defender and then flash back to the block for the backdoor. I think the main thing is to understand that the set is a "concept" rather than strictly rigid court assignments. Again, thanks for the feedback. It is appreciated.
have your point guard run a UCLA cut behind the backdoor cut to the ball for a hand-off if he is getting jammed. The first backdoor cut should run out that strong side defender behind the post and you get the hand-off screen open to the basket.
There are a million variations here. And options, just with 4 to 5 scenarios youth level. It's enough for a game. I have done it for 40 minutes...:] and 🏆
