X series by Andrew Grantz

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.

X series by Andrew Grantz

Below are some plays that we used this past season at IUS. I believe in having a progressive playbook. You will see that their are 3 plays within the X series. We began the year with 1 x series play. As the year progressed so did our play book. Just before our conference regular season began we added another play to our x series. Finally, just before the conference tournament we added our 3rd x series play. In the diagrams I just showed the plays ran to the 2 side of the court. You can easily mirror the same the play on the 3 side. It is important that the 2 and 3 know each way. The same goes for the 4 and the 5. I think these are great plays to add each year at the high school level. They can be complex if you have large play book. The x series keeps the ball moving and has an option for each player, making it tough to defend.
