Gregg Marshall Wichita State Stagger Set Play by Wes Kosel

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

Gregg Marshall Wichita State Stagger Set Play by Wes Kosel

Attached is a stagger action play from Coach Gregg Marshall. Marshall led Wichita State to a record setting season before falling to the Final Four bound Kentucky Wildcats. For the season, the Shockers had four players average over 10 points per game (Early – 16.4 ppg, Baker – 13.1 pgg, VanVleet – 11.6, Cotton – 10.3 ppg). With several scoring threats and good balance, the Shockers were difficult to handle the entire year. The Shockers also did a great job of utilizing all options in the offense. Gregg Marshall Wichita State Stagger Set Play: In this Gregg Marshall Wichita State Stagger Set Play, three guards start on the perimeter and two posts inside. 1 dribbles toward the wing and passes to 3. After passing to 3, 1 then cuts off of 5 into the lane. If 1 has his man beat, 3 looks to pass to 1 for a lay-up or a shot in the lane. If 1 isn’t open, he stays in the lane to set a screen for 2. 4 steps across the lane and posts up looking for the pass from 3. If 4 isn’t open, 2 steps down to the low post and cuts to the top of the key off of a staggered screen from 1 and 5. 3 passes to 2 for a shot. If 2 doesn’t have a shot, 5 turns around and sets a ball-screen for 2. As 2 dribbles toward the wing, 5 rolls to the basket and 3 cuts to the corner off of a staggered screen from 4 and 1. 2 first looks to penetrate to the basket for the score. If 2 can’t turn the corner off of the screen, he then looks for 3 in the corner for a shot. Last, he has 5 rolling to the basket for a lay-up or dunk.
