I like this play! Nice and Simple.

Thanks, your newsletter has helped me keep my basket ball team interested!(5th grade girls!)

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 really like this play. im a player and im going to show this to my teammates. its really a nice and simple play.

Sweet!!! Easy and optional moves lot listed but easy to see.

wow!! loved thid one .. seasy simple .. my gilrs loved it. i am a new coach, old player .. and this drill was easy to teach as well and for them to understand!!

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

This play helped us when thankyou.

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.

I would use this play if I knew what it meant. "Top of the key?" "Set a screen?" Do you have anything for people with normal-size brains?

i saw the kansas city alley cats do this set play.. there amazing

Top of key (high post) is were the 5 player is in the third picture
Set a screen - when a player sets his feet and blocks a defender from going through a particular spot on the floor (without moving once set)

If your ever not sure just type it in in google, these are basics so they will definately come up

i have a big man for 8th gr. who doesn''t get the drop step or keeping the ball up away from the pesky guards.any good drills

thanks for the plays you posted, it really helps my team, after 3 weeks of running those drills we won the championship. thanks a lot! hope you could publish some new plays. i mean brand new ones.

We do this play all the time.

Mike -

Break it down for him - one step at a time until he understands it... then tell him to go home and practice it 25 times a day without a ball for a couple days. Once it becomes second nature
he will feel more at ease.... in practice, have someone feed him the ball (without a defense) and do that several times.
Have him catch it, chin it, then head fake to the middle and drop step to the basket with a power dribble between his legs and lay it in.

Let us know if this helps him.

Take a look at this... you can do this with a chair instead of a pass.
