5 High Set Plays by Wes Kosel

Attached in this playbook are five high set plays that we saw in conference play last season. A lot of teams like to use this formation in our league because it opens up the lane and brings the post up from the block to the free-throw area. This is especially helpful for teams that want to bring the big out to face up or shoot three point shots. In addition, this formation can be great for spacing using staggered screens, down screens, ball screens, and back door cuts.

5 High Set Plays – High Drift Head Tap Baseline Runner

1 passes to 4, cuts in, then pops out to get the ball back. 1 dribbles left sending 4 to the corner as 3 cuts along the baseline off of a screen from 5.

5 High Set Plays – High Eye X Stagger

1 passes to 3 and 4 cuts to the block. 1 and 5 set a staggered screen for 2. 2 then passes to 1 and 4 sets a screen for 3. 2 and 5 then set a second staggered screen for 5 and 2.

5 High Set Plays – High Stack Loop Side Stagger

1 dribbles left to right off of a high stack screen from 5 and 4. 1 passes to 3 then cuts to the opposite corner. 3 passes to 5 who passes to 2. 4 and 5 then set a staggered ball-screen for 2.

5 High Set Plays – High Up Bump Guard 6

1 passes to 2 then cuts to the corner. 4 cuts to the block. 2 passes to 5 who passes to 3. 4 acts as if he is setting a screen but instead bumps back to the block. 2 cuts off of a down-screen from 5.

5 High Set Plays – High Drift 4 Auto Slip

1 passes to 2 then cuts to the corner. 4 cuts in under 5 then back to the top of the key to get the ball from 2. 4 passes to 3. 4 and 5 move towards 3 on the wing for a staggered ball-screen. 4 slips the screen to the rim. 5 sets the screen behind 4.
