High-Low Offense Set Plays by Jacob Collins

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.

The High-Low is a simple yet very effective system used by some of the most successful head coaches in America. Dave Loos at Austin Peay has made a living off of his players scoring out of the high-low. The most recognizable high-low user is Kansas coach Bill Self, who has used the offense at his stops at Oral Roberts, Tulane, and Illinois with great success. One of the keys is terminology. If a forward catches the ball at the high post Coach Self tells them they have 3 options: 1) Shot, 2) Dump, 3) Reverse. This allows the forward to have a check-down similar to a quarterback in football to make quick reads off of his or her catch. These are just a few sets with high-low principals that hopefully you guys will find useful.
