Zone set plays
Cycles
| 1 |
| 2 2 passes to 3 and also cuts, 4 steps out for a pass from 3, 5 crosses the lane. |
| 3 4 passes to 1, 3 and 4 space away, 1 takes a dribble out and throws it back to 2 filling the corner (1 may not need the dribble if there is space).
4 looks for 5 if a bottom defender takes away 1, or can pass to 3 out top.
Bill Self - 1 looks for a right-hand behind-the-back bounce pass to 2.
See Zone offences - Bill Self, Kermit Davis zone motion, Heath Millar (drag action). |
| 4 Oliver - for continuity, on the dribble up after the last cutter 1 could reverse it to start the sequence again. (Option - if 1 passes to 2 and gets a return pass, 2 becomes the first cutter) Bill Self (zone motion) - you have to cut any time you pass above you. |
| 5 Variations
a)
To get 2 as the first cutter,
- 1 pushes him through on the dribble, 1 will be the second cutter, |
| 6 - or 1 passes to 2 and gets the ball right back, 2 cuts.
(Variation - 1 cuts to get a handback from 2, see Wichita State) |
| 7 b)
4-out spacing with no high post, the corner player is the second cutter.
1 passes to 2 and is the first cutter. |
| 8 2 passes to 3, 4 is the second cutter. |
| 9 c) Triangle
See YouTube video - Zone quick hitters that work.
1 passes to 2, who corner cuts on a return pass, swing the ball to 3.
Keep 1 out top to move the ball. (Variation - 4 starts in the corner and cuts after 2, see above) |
| 10 The weakside post pops out to set up ball reversal and double cutters, 3 comes under, 2 starts to cut.
|
| 11 5 passes to 3, who dribbles out as 2 comes under.
