if defender 1 is tall, player 1 could not make a good pass

I need a play to beat a 3-2 zone press off the inbound pass after a made basket.

Coach Jeff

Good Morning Jeff,

At my school, we go up against the 3-2 zone, and man to man press. Full court. Got something that might help. We have what is called a 4 across. You can screen for short and over the top passes. If your interested, let me know. Richard

Looks like a good play.

i need a better 1-3-1 half court press breaker. i'm using one that is used for a full court press and works most of the time but, would like to see if you have something better

Here's some information we currently have on press breakers:

There are a couple press breakers in our plays ebook on pages 73 & 76.

If you have not signed up for our two free ebooks on drills & plays and our free newsletter, you can do so at www.breakthroughbasketball.com/newsletter.html

Here's a link on our website to one of the press breakers mentioned in the ebook: http://www.breakthroughbasketball.com/plays/linepressbreaker.html

How could this quick score press break be adjusted so an 8th grade girls team could run it? That's a long pass to make -- especially if it's a dead ball situation and if the D is covering the ball -- What type of player would 3 have to be to maybe have the pass sequence be 1 to 3 to 2?

Casey,

This play is probably not fitted for 8th grade girls or any team that does not have a player with proper arm strength & accuracy to throw the ball. If you can think of a variation, please share.

Casey, If you wanted to run this for *th grade girls, all you would have to do is throw the inbound pass in to your 3 and have her pass it down to the sprinting 2. Use a diagonal pass so the defense is caught comint to the passer

thank you very much.

hi to all!!!!
i need a defense for one top player!!!!i want to make him not to touch the ball!!

Jordan,

Why not a box and 1. That would be the easiest for youth basketball. Here are some others. http://www.coachesclipboard.net/JunkDefenses.html

If player 1,2 doesn't know lay up thennnnnnnnnnn.................................

These are great plays! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us all. I love the diagrams and your philosophy is excellent!!

Intentionally leaving the playing surface is a violation! Any ref worth his whistle will call this play dead in a heartbeat.

good drill but a little confusing. u should show a video of it

I need a good play to beat man to man. I coach 9 and 10 year old girls. Got three pretty good ball handlers. Hope you can help

if anyone needs defenseive plays just come to me i dont have allstar plays but if you want wins talk to me

coach b i would try a 3:2 defemse because it prevents dribble penitration but allows shots on the perimmeter in the conners so get out on the shooters

I didn't think you were allowed to come from out of bounds and catch the ball without it first touching another player

You are not allowed to intentionally leave the playing floor then receive the pass. This play will result in a turnover for your team. If you modify it so that 3 sets a pick for 2 then runs to their position on the far side of the court it will work. I ran it last season this way and it worked great. I had a real speedster on my team so it was great!

The player doesn't run out of bounds. It tells you to remember that player 1 is out of bounds. As the other player breaks towards the ball there is a fake hand off. It didn't say run behind player 1 out of bounds.

this looks like a good play! just !thing is wrong i agree with the perso that said what if the ! cant throw over the others deffese

Play is illegal

whoever states this is illegal play is wrong. read the wording carefully and read your rule book carefully. Also, if you have a case book read that. Play done properly is perfectly legal.
i'm a coach of 29 years and I run plays in various situations very similar in concept to this one. just trying to help.

WITNESSED T . C. U. HORNED FROGS RUN A PRESS BREAK ALMOST IDENTICAL

I actually won a playoff game with my team being down by 1 point!!! Not only did I have NO MORE TIME OUTS LEFT, but there was ONLY 23 seconds left in the game. THIS PLAY REALLY WORKS and NUMBER 2 MUST be your fastest player on the ENTIRE team and NUMBER 1 MUST not only have the best/strongest/accurate arm of the ENTIRE team but he/she must fake pass first to another player just to get his/her defender off balance. Then finally make that game winning pass for an EASY LAY UP!!! Very effective!!!

Thank you!!!!
