Bill Self Box Set Play for Andrew White III
Here is a box set play that Coach Bill Self used against Fort Hays State in their exhibition game on November 5th, 2013. This play opens up opportunities for dribble penetration from the wing, back cuts, and a final shot off of a double down screen. Coach Self called this play in the first half of the game against Fort Hays. If you have a bigger guard with post-up abilities, this is a great way to get him isolated in the post as well. In this example, the Jayhawks run the play all the way through to the double down screen for a 3 point shot for Andrew White III. The play starts with Brannen Greene and Andrew White III at the low block, and Joel Embiid and Jamari Traylor at the high post. Naadir Tharpe picks a side, in this case to the left away from White. Greene screens for White who cuts to the wing. As he is cutting, Embiid steps down to screen as well. After Greene screens, he cuts to the opposite wing. Traylor then pops to the high post to receive a pass from Tharpe. Traylor’s first option is to pass to Greene who is cutting to the basket. Tharpe flare cuts off of a screen to the opposite wing, and receives a skip pass from Traylor. White cuts to the block, and posts up the smaller defender. If this is open, Tharpe can feed him the ball. If not, White runs through a double screen by Embiid and Traylor. White runs between the two and cuts to the top of the key. After running through the screen, Embiid and Traylor step together and cut off the defender chasing White. Tharpe is able to pass to White wide open at the top of the key for a 3 point shot.
