Today’s post contains two quick hitting plays that you can set up during a time out or to
start a quarter or half when you are facing a 2-3 zone defense.

Adjust these sets to fit your players and philosophy and/or take bits and pieces to
combine with what you already run against 2-3s.

The plays are from The Best of Special Teams Playbook assembled by Chris Filios. The
playbook contains 210 basketball plays from 40 different NCAA teams.

1 passes the ball to 2, gets a return pass, and then
reverses to 3 to force the zone to shift.

As 3 passes back to 1, 4 sprints into a ball screen.

5 seals in x5 to open up a drive for 1.

2 can move to an area for a pass from 1 if x4 helps

on the drive.
