The out of bounds plays presented by HoopTactics have been proven, over time, to create a high percentage shot with two to three options. If a high percentage shot is not available, then each play flows directly into a predetermined continuity which eliminates any rushed shots or need to back the ball out and call a set play.

Philosophy and Strategy

Involves vision, communication, execution and timing

Out of bounds plays are successful when cuts, screens, and passes are executed with proper techniques and precision. Players must be able to anticipate and read defensive deployment. They should know what options to execute when the defense zones, switches, fights over screens, etc. Players also need to be alert to counter any defensive over play or carelessness.

Case for the Defense

Teams spend considerable amounts of practice time working on offensive baseline out of bounds plays, but spend little or no time on ways to defend them. As a result, too many easy baskets are given up during the course of the game on out of bounds plays simply because teams are not prepared to stop them. HoopTactics presents four very effective ways to combat and disrupt baseline out of bounds plays. Disrupting Baseline Out of Bounds Situations
