Zone Set Plays 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.

Below are some zone set plays. These are not really any Attack and react plays but just some good zone plays to use. I really like using ball screens against zones because it makes the next player decide if he will stop the ball or give up penetration. One of the biggest mistakes I see teams make against zones is that they do not look to attack gaps. You cannot become a pass only team against zones. These zone set plays will have you swinging the ball against the zone and that is great. However, it is only great if you take advantage of the zone being out of position and attack there break downs. These sets have good ball movement along with attacking options. Players must constantly move against a zone. Most defenders have trouble matching up out of a zone when players are passing, cutting, and attacking.

Please take a look at the Attack and React zone DVD. I show how to attack gaps and move the ball to create breakdowns. The DVD demonstrates how to create 2 on 1 situations once the ball is reversed. The best part is that the Attack and React is the same against a man and zone defense. This DVD will teach your players how to keep an attacking mentality against any defense the opponent uses.
