Overload - Against Zone Defenses

Summary

This is a twist to the overload play from last month's newsletter so that it will work against zone defenses. It's very effective and simple to teach.


Personnel

Players 4 & 5 should be your strongest post players. Players 1, 2, & 3 should have the capability to dribble drive and shoot the outside shot.


Instructions

  1. Player 1 passes to either Player 2 or Player 3 on the wing.
   Double1 (4K)

  1. After Player 1 passes the ball to Player 2: Player 1 cuts to the corner, Player 3 goes to the top of the key, and Player 5 flashes to the high post.
   Double2 (4K)

  1. If nothing is available on the overload, Player 2 will pass the ball to the top of the key.

  2. When the ball is passed to the top of the key, Player 5 will set a screen on the middle guy of the zone and Player 4 will flash to an opening in the middle of the lane. Player 3 should pass the ball to Player 4 if it is open.
   Double3 (4K)

Thank you for all of your great advice and for an awesome playbook for a young, rebuilding team. I have already taken many ideas and implemented them into my offense and defense. Have a great day!!

I like this play, it makes my kids fart really loud. The center rips a massive wet ass bomb to clear the paint!

like i said before on the overload for man defense; it doesn't stop, there are too many things you can transform through useing an overload. i have used it lately as a base to hide the ucla high post. i use this because i have a 6ft 8in sophomore that has quick feet and quit powerful. this overload with a few variation has created numerous one-on-one down low situation that result in a trip to the charity stripe. coaches; a big man that can hit 90% free throws is a blessing. just to put it out there. we took third in state (previous years they have never been pass the first round) - second in the power rankings and third overall (previous years 5th and 6th place) - and we had three players in the all-star game which was a milestone and major triumph in my coaching career; to coach my first all-star game after having a great season. thank to the help of this website forcing me to think and stay on the creative vibe. thanks so much.
