Inbounds - Sideline Regular

Inbounds
Sideline Regular

Look to get the ball into the post from 3 or 2, use a lob pass if 5 is fronted.

See Inbounds - sideline Western, Duke series (regular 4), Carolina Flex (4 dives on a post entry to 4).

Option - 5 screens away for 2, or pin screens against zone, see 43, Wing quick.

On an inbounds to pass to 1, 3 clears to the other side for floor balance, into offence.

Option - 5 backscreens for 3, see 43.

Variation - 3 steps inbounds and 4 stays at the pinch post, into the triangle offence.

See Offence - Triangle basics.

Chris Oliver - Best sideline plays (YouTube) - screen the matchup to the top, 3 inbounds to 1 and "ghost" (fake) screens (rub cut, brush cut), 1 attacks left, 4 hides in the high post.

If there is no inbounds pass, 4 breaks to the ball, 1 cuts backdoor on the inbounds pass, look for a high-low, 3 follows for a handback (or fake handback).

Jay Wright

- if 1 is denied, he can backcut for a handoff on an inbounds pass to 4
- if 3 is not guarded, he puts his fist up, inbounds to 4, steps in for a return pass and three-point shot.

See sideline Villanova, Hurley, Duke series (Regular 5), Offence - Triangle basics (with more options, e.g. a 4-2 dribble hand-off).

Option - 1 stays high, see Duke series (Regular 2), Ashbury.

Option based on Brad Stevens (pdf) - SLOB Chicago - 5 downscreens for 2 into a DHO with 4.

Specials

a)

1 backscreens for 4, look for a lob pass or a pass to 1 if X1 helps on 4 (e.g. for a 3-point shot).

See 43, Bill Self, also CSKA under 2, Ashbury (inverted entry).

b)

4 comes out to ballscreen on the inbounds pass to 1 (4 gets 1 twice).

5 replaces or floods ballside if 4 rolls.

Option - 3 stays behind the ballscreen, does not clear to the other side.

Nick Nurse Toronto Raptors playbook - 5 relocating ballside opens up the weakside for a roll.

c)

3 steps towards the ball on the inbounds pass to 1.

1 makes a dribble handoff to 3, 4 ballscreens (pistol action).

Option - 3 gets a handback from 1.

For a variation, see Celtics DHO action.

d)

A call or read on a pass to 2 in the corner, 5 backscreens for 3 then picks and rolls if 2 has no shot.

Based on Brad Stevens - Deep.
