A really good play to inbound the basketball under your own hoop.
The two traditional plays are the box and the stack. Both of these plays put all the defenders in the perfect position to rebound the ball. Plus, the ball can be stolen easily.
Instead, line the other four players up at the half court line and spread them out. On the signal, all four sprint in for a layup. Any of the four could get open. Its, whoever is faster or reacts better. I like to go on 2 or set. As in, 1,2,3 or ready, set, go.
This play got a team a layup every single time it was used. To different people.
The advantage also is now all four offensive players are in perfect rebounding position and the four defensive players are out of rebounding position.
A wide open layup is a pretty easy shot to hit. If not a layup, a very close easy shot, with rebounders everywhere.
Its not designed for a single person or two, anybody can get open. Its a blast to mess with the other team by changing start numbers. First two, then one.
Also, my family likes to use animal names, go on Armadillo.
Its also a blast to watch the other coach trying to scream at his kids on how to defend it.
The ball gets stolen a lot less.
Have fun!
Elephant, Giraffe, Zebra, Armadillo!
You should see us play football and what we do with the snap count. ;)
