Animated Basketball Plays--Butler

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

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.

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.

This play has a counter named Bulldog.

This play is not run by Butler University, but I like to name our plays for colleges, so that we can have a counter and name it with the school's mascot. However, here is a video of a play that Coach Brad Stevens does use in the Butler Men's program. You will be directed to a page on our shopping cart to see a short video of the play that Butler does use.

For each of these plays, you will need to scroll to the bottom of the page that you are directed to.

Double Tight is a video (not an animation) of a set play from a 1-4 high. The play features a ball reversall and a double back screen for a tight cut on the baseline.

Screen the Ball Screener Roy Williams demonstrates a transition option to screen the ball screener, then isolate a post player with a staggered double on the other side.  It could be adapted to your half court offense as well.

Tom Crean Staggered Double Ball Screen. Here is a ball screen play from Tom Crean that might interest you if you are looking to add some new wrinkles to your set plays.
