Kansas St - Screen the Inbounder
Categories: Offense (Team)
Ages: Middle School High School+
Summary:
I got this play while watching the Kansas St - Dayton game on 11/22/09. This inbounds gives you different scoring options that include a screen the inbounder, backdoor cut/lob, and perimeter jump shot.
Personnel:
Good passer, shooter, screeners, and finisher around the basket.
Instructions

- 3 throws a lob pass over the defender to 4
- 1 cuts to the high post area

- 4 Passes to 1
- As the pass is made to 1, 2 sets a screen on the defender guarding 3.
- 3 cuts to the middle of the lane to gain position by the basket.
- After 4 passes, 4 & 5 cut to the wing area.

- Option 1: Low Post Entry
- If 3 is open, 1 passes to 3 in the low post.
- 3 looks to score.
- As the pass is entered to 3, 5 sets up his man for a backdoor cut.
- If there is not a scoring opportunity for 3, 3 looks for the pass to 5.

- Option 2 - Backdoor Lob
- If 3 is not open, 1 looks for the backdoor lob to 5.

- Option 3 - Screen on Wing
- If the entry to 3 and the backdoor lob to 5 is not open, 4 sets a screen for 2. 1 simultaneously dribbles toward the top of the key.
- 2 pops to the wing for a jump shot.
- 4 seals in the post.
- 3 & 5 clear the lane.

we run a similiar spread set but put one of our bigs at the block instead of a 1 and they fade to the elbow and get the lob. The 2 spot cross screens for the inbounder. Works well when you run other plays out of the spread and then give them this different look.

Love that you guys are looking in all kinds of places for intuitive plays. K-State clearly has some good stuff up there sleeves.
Your love and contributions to the game is appreciated.

This a great play ,but what if we have a small team. Will we be able to get the ball to our small man? So is their other ideas that we can do with this drill?

Great play however I would switch 3 & 5. I'm a HS coach and we are never doing lob plays really. I rather have my shooter outside and my true post player inside. And when 2 screens for the thrower it doesn't matter if they switch because I now have my post player being guarded by there shooting guard!
