working more as a team, less as individuals.
I play not my 11 best, but my best 11."

Animated Basketball Plays--Butler

The animated basketball plays will automatically run three times and can be paused.

All of our free basketball plays are designed with Plays in Motion Software.

Butler is a part of our 1-4 high sets featuring basketball plays to run against man to man defense.

Dribble the ball to the opposite deep elbow of the best driving big. 

Primary options are driving opportunities for #1 then #4 off flare screens. 

Slip screen opportunities for #3 and #5. 

Double screen to end the play is designed to occupy the defense and open up driving opportunity for #4.

This play has a counter named Bulldog.

Any time the basketball is entered into the post on any of the plays, the feed and space rules apply.

As the ball is shot, all players fill their rebounding spots and prepare for conversion defense.
