Oregon City High School basketball isolation play by GC Hillburn

Coaching girls basketball may be an extremely hard and complicated process. GC Hillburn presents a simple isolation play utilized by Oregon City High School with great success:

This is an isolation play that I have seen Oregon City High School run for years.  I really like it because of its simplicity, but it still has an element of misdirection.

Basketball PlayStart in a box set, the 3 is the player we want to isolate on the right side.  The play begins with the 1 hitting the 5 and then the 1 clears over the top to the ball side and the 2 clears to the corner on ball side…
