before 4 dives in, isnt much better if 3 will flash and give a screen to 4 and if 4 cant get the ball, 3 can pop out and get it.

I assume then 1 goes opposite the ball after the entry pass.It also appears there is no weak side rebounding action as we are flooding one side unless 5 kicks out.

are we suspect to giving up a fast break on a miss?

Looks like a great play I'll try it.

Looks easy but timing is very important

nice play. i would only add that since 5 is opening to ball side, 4 should jab right and v cut left to get under middle defender and come down left side of lane.

First two stages ok but after this is just terrible, 5 standing inside 3 seconds then another one coming all D comng inside 3 seconds and the best thing in this accasion to bring there third one ? have you ever played ball guys ?
You saying this is nice play for whom ?

I like the looks of this ... by the way , tell Valery we don't worry about 3 seconds while ball is out of bounds.

5 is open, why1 doesn''''t pass it to 5?It is faster.

I agree it seems to be a very good play after you have worked a few box sets to give the impression that you are going to run maybe something previously ran before... I feel that this would be a great 2nd half set...

This is a great play that has many options. 3 should flash into the opening and pop out to the three point arear for the long outlet if there is trouble

Honestly If you are playing against a tough defensive team (which would be the reason having to use this play b/c of man on man defense) then pulling all the defense to one side of the court is not very good idea ...

This play works... I use a variation of it against zone but I have 4 set elbow screen for 3 who pops out ball side top for a safety and 4 has to be patient and wait til 2 draws the low block defender out to corner and then 4 dives and open every time... until they get smart... it takes awhile for 4 to learn the timing and to be be patient... I also have 5 screen middle of zone and then pivot and seal and then work to get weakside rebound postion.

This is an excellent play. We absolutely destroy people when they try to zone us on BLOBs. In fact, this is the only BLOB play we run versus zone. We get a scoring opprotunity off this play every time we run it. If your 2 can shoot, the ball side low post defender has to come out on him. If the defender goes out, then the middle screen is there. The defense will adjust and send the guard defender down with your 4 to try to take him away. If they do this , we run a continuation inbound play to take advantage of the mismatch in the post. I'll give more details if you want them, we've ran this play the past 3 years and we are still having success with it (3rd at state last year).

BTW Watch Kansas run this play. That''s where I got it. Bill Self runs it out of two different sets. Box and Wide

We also run a screen the screener variation of this play vs man if you are interested lemme know.

i would like to see the screen the screener variation of this play vs man.

3 fakes cutting across the lane and then cuts to the weak side low block. 5 screens for 2, 2 cuts to the ball side corner. 5 upscreens for 4. 4 cuts to the ball side low block. 3 screens for 5, 5 cuts to the weak side low block.

We have run a version of this also. Simple, but very effective. Surprising how often 4 is open.
