Summary

This inbounds play can get you easy baskets by isolating your post player under the basket. This play is meant to be run against man to man defense.

Personnel

1 – PG

4 – Front court player
5 – Best post up player

Instructions

Player 4 screens across the lane for 1.

3 cuts, as wide as possible.

This looks great, i'm a little concerned that with juniors player 5 might get caught on the 3 second key way rule?? How should I direct this player so that she doesn't get caught waiting in the key?

Michele

The 3 second count doesn't start until the ball is inbounded. Since the pass goes to the 5 player, it shouldn't be an issue. If the inbound pass goes to the corner (3), it should be a bang-bang play into the 5.

If the pass goes anywhere else, the 5 has to get out of the lane.

Michelle I''m a referee middle school,high school, and college. On this play don''t worry about the three second call because the is not in play yet. Once the ball touches a player any player on the throw in the clocks starts. If your team gains possession like it should on the inbounds play then three second call in effect. Also, If you did not kniow this the three second call starts after every shot. If you have any other questions feel free to email me.

Hey guys!You might be safe in the States with this one. however, in Europe FIBA rules clearly state that the 3 second call starts as soon as the inbounding player is handed the ball - ooops! Still a good play as long as the ball is inbounded sharp!

This play would not work on zone D.

Actually FIBA rules clearly state the ball has to be possessed in the front court and the clock has to be running. So this is a valid play to FIBA.
page 29 of the FIBA rules manual.

Ouch! In relation to the 3 second call on out of bounds, I`ll hold my hands up on that one -My page 29 reads the same as yours!Just call it a `senior moment` my worry is that I seem to get `senior weeks` these days!

It is not an impressive inbounds play.

I'm running a similar play. Mine is based on the last shot to win the game.
