Set Play: Rolling

Summary

This is a really simple play that gives you lots of options near the basket, or an open jump shot. This play can be used in late game situations, or as a set in your half-court offense.


Personnel

Player #1 should be a good ball handler and passer. Player #2 should be your best shooter. Player #5 should be good at jumping, catching, and finishing near the basket. Player #3 is your screener and rebounder. Player #4 should be a good post player.


Instructions

  1. Player #4 and #5 should step out from the high post and position themselves near the three-point arc so the #1 can dribble off their ball screens.

  2. Player #1 should dribble off #5. As Player #1 rubs off the screen, Player #2 should be spotting up in the corner and Player #4 rolls to the basket.

  3. Player #1 can drive all the way to the basket, pass to #2 in the corner, or hit #4 rolling to the basket.

  

  1. If a quick shot was not taken, Player #3 should then back screen for Player #5.

  2. Player #1 should look for the lob pass to #5.

    You also have the option to enter the ball into #4 in the post. Then hit player #5 from the post, instead of throwing the lob.

    Depending on the shot taken, be sure that Player #3, #4, and/or #5 are ready for the rebound. One of them should be in good position for a second shot.

How about starting from a box set and have your bottom men break out based on which way the point goes,that way if you have a good point, he should be able to get to the basket more often.

Coach Green,

That's a great observation. In order to do this, both your players on the bottom will need to be 3-point threats.

Some teams may not have two deadly shooters, so they will only be able to run it one direction like in the play above. Otherwise, the defender on the outside wing player (Player 2) can slouch into the lane to stop any dribble penetration (Player 1) and stop an entry pass into the post (Player 4). which takes away 3 of the 4 options off the play.

Especially, if you get scouted, it would be very important for both bottom players to be 3-point shooters if you wanted to be able to run it to either side.

i think it is good because once you pass the ball into the post thats where the defense will rotate and 5 will have an open lane
