Arizona Wildcats Set Plays to Get a 3-Point Shot

Triple Runner

Gabe York runs off of three screens to the left wing for a 3-point shot. Because of the number of screens and quick release by York, the defender cannot get there to contest his shot attempt consistently. York makes good use of the shot fake and side step when the defenders are lunging out to contest.

Triple Runner Counter

After getting California twice on the first play, Coach Miller used this counter option and ran York off of two screens back to the wing he started. The defender wasn’t ready for the counter action and couldn’t get to the shot quick enough. Coach Miller knew that York was hot from beyond the arc and kept going back to plays to get him a shot.
