Shallow - (against zone defenses)

Summary

This is a really simple but effective play that I like to use at the end of the quarter or end of game. It's works against all zones but it's particularly effective against the 2-3 zone.


Personnel

You'll want Player 2 to be your best 3 point shooter and Player 5 to be your best post scorer.


Instructions

  1. Player 1 dribbles towards Player 2 to fill his spot.

  2. As Player 1 dribbles, Player 2 makes a shallow cut to the top of the key.
   Zone eog1 (4K)

  1. Player 1 then reverses the ball by making a pass to Player 2.
   Zone eog2 (4K)

  1. Player 1 makes a wide cut towards the basket and then makes his way to the far corner.

  2. Player 2 should immediately pass the ball to player 3.
   Zone eog3 (4K)

  1. Player 3 passes to Player 1 in the corner.

  2. Player 1 then has the option to shoot the open three point shot, or look for Player 5 posting and sealing his man on the low block.

    You'll find that both players are almost always open for good shots.

Hi Emad,

AFter the pass is made to the corner, their job is to find an open spot in the zone for a pass.
