This is a baseline inbound play from a box set to run against a person-to-person defense. A box formation is great for beginning and more advanced teams. There are so many plays that can be run from this formation it's unlikely the defense will be able to anticipate how your play will unfold.

If you're looking for a few easier plays to teach and execute, this play and Box 1 are the plays for you. Think about how many times the ball goes out of bounds under your own basket. Every time you have a baseline throw in under your basket is an opportunity to put easy points on the board! That's how I think about it and you can teach your players to view it that way too; with confidence in executing a play that really works!

   • Inbound Play (Box 1) vs. Man-to-Man D...  

It's always the tiniest details that make all the difference. In this case, it can be as small as eye tracking and body language. Those can be dead giveaways as to your intentions before you run the play. Learn the basics of the play, the polish it up with the fine tuning details.

You don't need to know hundreds of different inbound plays, you simply need to do a few plays really, really well!

This baseline inbound play to run against a person-to-person defense is great for teaching youth, club teams, junior high, high school, and recreational teams.

If you have recorded video of your team executing this play or any of the plays you've learned from my channel and would like for me to do a YouTube video review of your team executing the play, please email me at:

    I used this for my 13-15 boys city team and it worked great..The first option came off the screen and was right there for an easy bucket...Thankyou much..Anytime you post something it comes right to my phone...I appreciate it..

    Mate i have been using this in the Under 14 district team i coach this season..this is an awesome play which allows for many options. I have had some players mess this up and we still scored from it. This play is a permanent fixture in my teams playbook. Also with a couple other of your videos we have gone from a middle of the road team to becoming a dominant offensive team, and because the good offense has given my lads a lot of confidence their defense has risen to a whole new level..win win for my team. Cheers Russ!

    you are incredible.. your class has made my team be stronger and stronger. I really hope to learn about strategy against 2-3zone deffense like 'overload offense', 'set play' that you made. please!!

    Thanks for all your postings. I am a varsity coach and enjoy how you present your plays. Could you tell us what software you use to create these plays in a digital format?
