Press breaks Baylor football
| 1 See YouTube video - All 5 Baylor players line up out of bounds.
In breaking fullcourt pressure after a made field goal or free throw by the other team, all 5 offensive players can line up behind the baseline, then break upcourt for an inbounds pass.
The player with the ball can also run behind the baseline, or pass to a teammate behind the baseline, within the 5-second count.
Use a "football" play to inbound the ball safely when the defence is going to foul. Michael Lynch - Four Fly Comeback - four players line up across the foul-line extended and break upcourt, a good free-throw shooter breaks back to the ball, and can post up if denied. 1-4 Press Break (Basketball for Coaches) - all four players walk their defenders as close to the baseline as possible. |
