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.

It can work fin on a zone. Say the defense is playing a 2-3.

When the 3 flashes to the corner, the side defender in the bottom three has to defend her/him.

If 5 seals properly, he/she has taken out the middle fo the zone defenders.

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.
