This is the time of year when everyone is scouting and one of these might help you in that crucial moment at the end of the year. If you can win the OB battle vs your opponent it could be very well the difference needed to give you the edge coaching.

Here are 5 OB plays against the zone that are designed to get you a good shot. 

Play # 1

4 Flat vs. the 2-3 zone

Play # 2

Box set weakside dive to distort the zone and makes X4 have to make a decision on weak-side.

Play # 3

Box Set with a flare screen to get your shooter a 3. This needs to have at least 7 seconds left in the game to run.

Play # 4

Common Formation to attack zones is a line formation this is designed to get you a post touch and layup. You have that post player you want to get the ball here is a great way to get the ball inside vs. 2-3 zone

Play # 5

Final play is a wide box formation that has a lot of options if they don’t get through the screens you have open 3 point attempts. But on this play you are using them as a decoy to dive your 4 man into the soft spot of the zone for an uncontested 8 footer.

Best of luck to you the rest of the way!
