Inbounds Baseline Coastal Carolina
| Buzz Peterson American Basketball Quarterly, 2006 Q4
Four baseline inbounds plays that start with the same alignment. 1 inbounds.
a)
On the slap of the ball, 5 rolls out to his left, getting a good angle to stagger screen with 4 for shooter 2, who first fakes a downscreen for 3 then runs off the stagger screen. 3 gets out to the weakside corner. See Inbounds - Baseline Shaka Smart (3 backscreens for 2 and uses the stagger). Don Meyer - triple - 3 turns to upscreen for 2, if 2 uses the 4-5 stagger, 3 turns and cuts to the corner; if 2 uses 3's screen, 3 uses the 4-5 stagger screen. Fran Fraschilla - stagger slips - 3 backscreens for 2, who cuts to the weakside block, 4 and 5 stagger screen for 3, who runs to the ballside corner for a 3-pointer, 4 and 5 slip. |

2 sprints to the weakside corner, 5 rolls out, getting a good angle to screen for 4, who fakes going the opposite direction then uses the screen, going wide to the corner if he can shoot or otherwise to the short corner (shown). (Variation - 2 can pop out top) |
