Zoom action (pin screen into a dribble hand-off) can be run ballside or weakside on a baseline out of bounds.

See YouTube video - Zoom Action (at 11:57).

The inbounder is a great player to use zoom action with because their defender will usually be sitting inside to protect the basket.

a) Northern Iowa

A simple ballside play, 1 inbounds to 5 over the top, uses a pin screen from 2 and gets a DHO.
