The Mike Krzyzewski Duke Blue Devils Open Quick Hitter is a great set play that was used by the Duke Blue Devils in order to get the ball inside to their center. The Duke Blue Devils really does a good job emphasizing spacing by using the 3 pt line and their shooters are in a perfect position for a kick-out pass to the weak side
The diagonal back screen sets up a quick hit for 4 in the post and the action continues with 5 screening on the wing lifting 4 off the block to the wing for a possible inside pass to 5 on the throw back from 2
Coach K’s sets really make the players “read” the game and take advantage of the what the defense gives them.
