Brad Underwood Zone Triangle by Wes Kosel

Here is a zone set play against a 2-3 zone defense from former Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks and current Oklahoma State Cowboys Head Coach Brad Underwood. Underwood took over in Stillwater this offseason after three seasons at Stephen F. Austin. Before that, Underwood was an assistant coach for Frank Martin at South Carolina and Kansas State. He also was the head coah at Daytona Beach CC and Dodge City CC, and was an assistant at Western Illinois from 1992-2003. While at SFA, Underwood led his Lumberjacks to 3 Southland Conference regular season championships and 3 Southland Conference Tournament championships. He was also named the Southland Conference Coach of the Year each year, and won the Joe B. Hall Coach of the Year Award in 2014. Underwood, from McPherson, Kansas, played his college ball at Hardin-Simmons (Abilene, TX) and Kansas State. This Brad Underwood zone play works two guards out on the perimeter and the 3, 4, and 5 move in a triangle.

4 and 5 can start on the blocks (Frame 1) or in a 1-4 high set (Frame 4). The ball is passed to 2 on the wing, and 5 moves out to the short corner as 4 flashes to the high post then dives. As 2 drags the ball left, 1 and 3 push left. Once the ball is passed from 2 to 1, 5 flashes high and 4 moves over to the left block. Once the ball is reversed back to 2, 3 now joins the action as a flasher with 4 moving to the short corner and 5 diving to the block. If it works out, x3 will be left guarding nobody, and a decision will have to be made by the strong side zone defenders on who to guard.
