Basketball Plays--Wake Forest

This play is run against a man to man defense.

From Coach Creighton Burns' newsletters. If you are interested in receiving his newsletter, contact us and we will put you in touch with Coach Burns.

This play is similar to one of our animated basketball plays, but has a few more options after the initial cut. Our play is called Kentucky.


1 - 4 high across to begin.

#1 takes it on the dribble towards #2 on the right wing.

When that happens, #2 comes across the top off of screens from both #5 and #4.

#1 takes the ball back in the direction #2 is cutting.

#3 cuts down towards the middle of the lane, underneath the basket area.

Once #2 has the ball on the wing, #4 and #5 set a double down screen for #3 underneath the basket.

If you wish, you may even add #1 to complete the triple staggered screen.

We will assume that #2 was not open in the beginning.

If that is the case, #4 and #5 would still continue down and screen for #3 underneath the basket.

#2 would continue down to the low block area, ready to replace #3 underneath the basket.

#1 can hit #3 off the double staggered screen if he is open.

Let's assume #3 was open.

When he receives the ball, #4 and #5 continue moving in that
direction and find #2's defender for a double screen or a double staggered screen.

If #3 wasn't open on that play, he would continue cutting and curl around and out of the play while #4 and #5 would set the double or double staggered screen for #2.

Great continuous screen action from your post people trying to free your perimeter people for a jump shot.
