Side Options

Breakdown

  • Designed as a sideline out-of-bounds play to create multiple scoring options.
  • Maintain good spacing to stretch the defense and open passing lanes.
  • Do not premeditate your entry pass — read the defense and deliver to the best option.
  • Place your best shooters at the 2 and 3 spots to capitalize on quick looks.
  • If no immediate shot is available, flow directly into your base offense.

Coaching Tip

Make sure the inbounder is a confident passer who can make quick reads under pressure. Timing and sharp cuts are key to each option working.
