UCLA High Set Plays by Mark Chapman
The three UCLA High Set Plays are basically run out of the 1-4 high set. The first is run as an isolation with your four man receiving the ball at the end on the opposite block. Having players that can shoot the ball will force the defense to guard you further out on the perimeter and allow players on the inside to be matched up one on one. In this play the initial back-screen for the PG should be set at or outside the 3pt line which will position the five man at the top of the key for the ball reversal.
The second of the UCLA High Set Plays is run for a shooter. The ball should be passed away from the shooter’s side of the floor so that he/she can come open off of the ball rotation. The three man must be free to attack the basket and not just to “run the play” otherwise the defense will over play the reversal pass. The timing of the screen is important so the shooter doesn’t arrive early and waiting for the pass.
The third play gets all aspects of the players involved. This play incorporates a ball screen that makes the defense respect players cutting to the basket. It also has a hand off that if run against a team that switches might allow a guard to be matched up with a post player and give the offense a chance to use the miss match.
Hopefully these UCLA High Set Plays will be helpful in creating a scoring opportunity for your players. Ultimately plays can only take a team so far. If the players can’t see the floor and read defenses the play will be of no benefit and unsuccessful.
