LOOKING FOR INBOUND PLAYS
By: Coach Thompson
It starts in a stack formation, with the 3 taking the ball out of bounds. 2 is one step above the block, 4 is right behind him, 1 is right behind him, and 5 is right behind him. 3 hits the ball with both hands to start the play. 4 man pushes the 2 man one way or the other and then goes out to the opposite side that he pushed the 2 man. the 1 curls around the 5 man toward the half court Then the 1 goes to the side of the ball around the hash mark. The 5 waits one second and then goes right at the ball hard with his hands up. The 5 man will usually get a wide open layup the first couple of times you run this play. If the five man is not open he will throw a pass to either the 2 man or the 1 man. If the pass goes to the 2 man he turns and kicks the ball out to the one man and screens down for the 3 man to come off the screen for an open jumper. If the inbounds pass skips the 2 man and goes out to the 1 man then the 2 will go and set the screen for 3, 3 comes off the screen for the open jumper. After inbounding, if no shot is available, set up your offense. I hope you can understand my explanation of this inbounds play, as it has been very successful for me. E-mail me with any questions and let me know how it works for you.
