There are a multitude of options on how to play an out-of-bounds throw in during a basketball game. I recommend that each team have 3 or 4 solid out of bounds basketball plays that can be used in a variety of game play situations in order to maximize their scoring opportunities during these crucial moments.
In your arsenal of high school basketball plays, it’s important to have a few plays you can run from underneath the basket. One tried and true inbounds play is called “Stack”.
A successful team should only need 2 halfcourt plays for basketball. The first is a good motion offense (which I posted about a couple days ago). The second is a play to beat a zone.
I’m often asked by coaches how many offensive basketball plays they should be running. My answer is always the same.
“As few as possible”
I feel strongly that most teams only need 2 offensive basketball plays: one against man to man and one versus a zone. Of course, you’ll need inbounds plays, press breaks, etc., but 2 half-court plays is all you really need.
Use this press break to attack a 2-2-1 press, 1-3-1-1 press, or a 1-2-2 press. The key is getting the ball to the middle of the floor and looking downcourt for players cutting to the basket.
Use this inbounds basketball play to free up a player cutting through the lane, ensuer that the inbounder uses ball fakes to create an open passing lane.
This basketball offense drill teaches the basic fundamentals of running a motion offense. The emphasis is on proper screening and movement without the ball.
The key to this basketball offensive play is entering the ball into the 3 most vulnerable areas of any zone: The high post, the corner, and the Russion Spot.
This basketball drill is an excellent lead up to teaching motion offense. Focus on proper screening technique, ensuring that the player using the screen rubs off the screeners shoulder.
This classic basketball offensive drill will help you develop a 2 man game. This works great to isolate a slashing perimeter player or free up a mobile big man.
