Louisville Game Winner
Ages: All Ages Youth Middle School High School+
Summary:
I saw Louisville run this play recently and win the game in an amazing come back against Marquette. This is an excellent end of game play that will often get you a lay up or a shot from your best player. You can see Louisville run this play and win the game at the 3:40 mark of this video:

Personnel:
- Player 1 should be a good ballhandler and shooter.
- Player 2 should be your best scorer off the dribble.
- Player 3 good shooter.
- Player 4 good rebounder and finisher near the basket.
- Player 5 good screener and rebounder.
Instructions
- Your best player (#2) should start fairly low and set a short screen for 4 so you can enter the ball on the wing.
- Player 5 and 3 should cut into position as the ball is entered to the wing.
- Player 2 aggressively comes to get the ball for a hand off.
- Player 5 comes up to set a ball screen for Player 2.
- Player 5 sets the ball screen and Player 2 must very aggressively attack and use the screen.
- Player 4 dives to the basket.
- Player 1 and 3 space out and get ready to catch and shoot.
- Player 2 should attack and score or hit the open player. Quite often, player 4 will be wide open under the basket because so much attention is paid to Player 2 coming off the screen. Players 1 and 3 could also be open depending on how the defense helps. The key is for Player 2 to attack aggressively and make a good decision.
- Player 5 should be rolling towards the basket looking for the put back rebound.
