Oregon beat out Duke in the Sweet 16 and finished 1st in the Pac-12 with a 14-4 conference record.

Oregon Ducks Pinch Post Actions

Here are two plays that end the same with a pinch post ball screen on the right elbow, but start differently. This can be a good way to get to the same action without being predictable.

Pinch Post

The offense starts in a two guard front and is moved to 2 on the left wing. 1 makes a cut to the left corner and 3 loops around 5 at the high post to the left block. Now in an overload position towards the left side, 4 can dribble off of a pinch post ball screen from 5 at the right elbow.

Pinch PostScreen

1 starts the play with a dribble handoff to 2. 4 cuts off of a back screen from 5 at the free throw line. 3 cuts across the floor to form the overload on the left side. 2 gets the ball and uses a pinch post ball screen from 5 at the right elbow. 5 can pop or roll after setting the screen.
