Will Wade Chattanooga Mocs BLOB/SLOB Plays 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.

This play provides two options to score quickly. The first look is to hit 2 cutting up off of a staggered screen from 1 and 4. The second option is to pass to 5 at the post or short corner. 5’s defender has to make a choice when 5 screens for 2. If 5’s defender helps on the cut from 2, 5 will be wide open in the short corner for a quick shot.
