Basketball Plays Horns Elbow Bone

Brian Williams January 27, 2014

Coach Vonn Read has submitted several plays from


his playbook series The Basketball Encyclopedia of
Plays to the Coaching Toolbox.

Coach Read is currently the University of Houston


Women’s Assistant Coach.

He previously was the Associate Head Coach for the


Women’s program at Syracuse since 2011 as was
instrumental in their final four run in the spring of
2016.

This play is a quick hitter to get an isolation for your


1 player.

The numbers are meant to identify the players.

They are not meant to say that you have to have a traditional #1 to run this play, or that the
player has to drive to their right hand. You can adjust the play to the opposite side of the
floor, if you would want the player to drive left.

It is meant to stimulate your thinking to come up with ways to put your players in positions
where they can use their individual strengths for the good of the team.

This is a good isolation set for your 1 player.

The 1 player will pass to the 4 player popping out.

After the pass to the 4 player, the 1 player will fake


the cut to the basket and stop to set a brush
screen for the 5 player.

If we set a good screen, we can get a layup for the


5 player. The 1 player will pop back hard for the
ball.

On the pop back, the 1 player can shoot the 3-


pointer if the defender is late recovering after
helping on the cut to the basket by the 5 player.

1/2
The 1 player can drive it all the way to the basket
on a bad close-out by X1.

Put a shooter in the corner to take away the help on


the drive.

Coach Read has also put together The Basketball


Encyclopedia of plays. You can check them out
here: The Basketball Encyclopedia of Plays or read
