Box Set Play: Double Back Fence by Adam Spinella
This type of Box set play is common because they free up the guards to catch and inbound pass. The best big men will post hard after they screen, and good teams are taught to look for any lob or immediate post-up in a down screen entry. Here is one play where the inbounder is the shooter in a box set, coming off a few screens and some good ball movement.
3 takes it in, with the guards on the blocks and bigs on the elbows. The guards 1 and 2 come off down screens; ball-side is first, then the opposite one second. The ball swings around the perimeter, and the 5 posts after setting the first down screen. If the post isn’t there, 2 will get the ball, and 4 will then raise to set a shuffle screen for the inbounder 3. This is a great opportunity to score, as 4 curls the action looking for a bounce pass to the rim.
If 3 does not get it off the shuffle cut, the ball swings back to 1, and 3 comes off a double screen near the block from 4 and 5. This can be either a double screen or a fence, where the doors will close as 3 comes through the screen. If 3 does not shoot, 4 and 5 simply exchange as the high man sets a curl screen for the lower screener; the post coming off gets big and looks for an entry pass.
