Animated Basketball Plays

Overload--movement to spread the defense guards and run a shooter to the free throw line against a 2-3 zone.

Stack--Play for a quick 3 point shot from the corner against a 2-3 zone defense. This play will result in a quick corner 3 point shot the first time or two that it is run, but will lose effectiveness the more it is run and the zone adjusts.

Popout--Run by legendary Kentucky and Indiana High School Basketball Coach Bill Harrell.


Animated Zone Inbounds Plays

Eye--Underneath out of bounds play to run against a 2-3 zone.

Choice--This is not animated, but is diagramed. It is an underneath zone inbounds play to run under your own basket.

Zone Offense Video Clips

Here is a segment of a clinic on zone offense given by Dave Odom.  In the segment he discusses a way to distort a zone defense. Dave Odom Zone Offense.

Coach K. 2-1-2 Zone Attack This is a very short segment of a DVD from Coach K showing him coaching his 2-1-2 or 2-3 zone attack in practice.  The point he makes that I like is that we all need to have some type of misdirection in our zone attack.  He makes the point dealing with a misdirection dribble for individuals, but in my opinion, we need to have some misdirection in our passing principles as a team as well when we attack a 2-3 zone.

Tara Vanderveer Continuity Zone Offense We found this idea for a simple continuity zone offense to run against a 2-3 zone from Tara Vanderveer on youtube.  It gives you a method to dribble the forward away from their guarding spot and then run a player to the short corner.

Baseline Zone Attack Another video from YouTube. It has three ideas for ways to attack a 2-3 or 2-1-2 zone from behind.

Five--Set play to run against a zone defense. The link will take you to a page on the Championship Productions web site. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see the video of this play. The play forces the zone to guard three movements--a basket cut, a flex type screen, and a staggered double for a shooter.

Oliver Purnell Inside Zone Attack This is a short clip of Coach Purnell teaching his inside players to "seal in and seal out." when Clemson faces a 2-3 zone.

Overload is a play designed to get a short bank shot against a 2-3 zone for one of your post players.
