Double High Post Stack BLOB Option by Wes Kosel
Here are 4 baseline out-of-bounds options out of a double high post stack formation. At TLU we have played three conference games this season and 2 of the 3 opponents used an option out of this formation. To line up, your best scorer or shooter should be in the 3 spot. Your big men or best screeners should be at the 4 and 5 spots. Your second shooter should be at the 2 spot and your best passer/decision maker should pass the ball inbounds.
Double High Post Stack BLOB Option 1: 3 cuts to the wing or short corner off of 5 and 4. You can have 4 and 5 screen if you like or just have 3 run off of them. This option will work best when 3’s defender follows 3 around the double stack at the high post. After 3 has cleared the elbow, 5 makes a hard cut to the opposite block. If 5’s defender helps over to deny the pass to 3 then 5 will have an open cut toward the basket.
Double High Post Stack BLOB Option 2: 3 moves toward 4 and 5 as if he is going to cut to the wing. Instead, 3 makes a hard cut to the basket looking for a pass from 1 for a lay-up. This option will work best when 3’s defender attempts to jump the screen over the top. 5 cuts to the corner looking for a shot. If needed, 4 can step back toward the three-point line to be an outlet for the inbounds.
Double High Post Stack BLOB Option 3: Again 3 moves toward 4 and 5 as if he is going to cut to the wing. Instead, 3 fades up toward the 3 point line looking for a pass over the top of the defense from 1. This option works best when 3’s defender attempts to jump the screen underneath 4. If open, 3 can take the shot. At the same time, 5 cuts to the basket and 4 cuts to the corner.
Double High Post Stack BLOB Option 4: 3 cuts directly to the low block looking to catch his defender off-guard. If open, 1 passes to 3 for an easy lay-up. If 3 isn’t open, 4 pops to the corner and receives the pass from 1. As this is happening, 2 steps in toward the lane then cuts off of a screen from 5. 2 should read his defender and cut to the open spot off of the screen from 5. If open, 4 passes to 2 for a shot.
Best of luck and hope you enjoy these Double High Post Stack BLOB options.
