Sideline Play - Celtics Handoff
Categories: Offense (Team)
Ages: All Ages Youth Middle School High School+
Summary:
This is a great sideline out of bounds play used by the Boston Celtics that has multiple options to keep the defense guessing.
I found this play on Raul Jimenez's blog.
Personnel:
1 - Good ball handler decision maker.
2 - Good outside shooter.
3 - Makes reads off of the pick and roll.
4 - Able to finish near the hoop.
5 - Screener for pick and roll.
Instructions
- 3 is the inbounder
- 4 screens for 1
- 1 comes off the screen to get the ball on the wing.
- 4 pauses for a brief second, then clears to the other side.
- Fake Handoff Option:
- 1 fakes the hand off to player 3 and attacks the hoop.
- Pick and Roll/Pop Option:
- 1 hands the ball off to 3.
- 5 sets a pick for 3.
- 3 & 5 run the pick and roll or pick and pop.
- 1 clears to the wing as a passing option.
Additional Comments:
Before running the fake handoff option, it helps to run the play all of the way through a couple of times. The defense will start to cheat towards the handoff which will open a clear lane for the drive by 1.

This play looks very promising. Especially if you have the personnel to run the play effectfully. I also like the fact that you have players in position to get back in defensive transition if the shot is missed.

I like. I like!! This is a pretty cool play. It looks easy to run. Plus, like Bill said, you have players in position to get back on defense. This is pretty cool. I will add this to my SLOB plays. Thanks so much.

This play should be a good one. But if you run it more than once the defenders guarding 4 & 2 will lay off and protect the basket, cutting off the option of the cutter.
If this happens make the 3 set a screen for the 2 and have them pop out for a shot!
Great play otherwise.
