A zone can look settled until one cut forces two defenders to make a choice.
That's the moment Coach Rob Lanier builds these sets around: get the defense moving, then attack the space it leaves.
In his Zone Offense clinic, he shows three different ways to create that decision.
Here are 3 Zone Offensive sets from Coach Lanier’s Playbook:
#1 - 41
41 is an action against the zone that gets a player downhill very quickly.
The action is designed to get the zone shift.
Then once the zone shifts – a quick screen into a ball-screen.
This is a very good action if you have a dynamic guard that can touch the paint.

#2 - Cyclone 1
Cyclone 1 is an action that results in a flare action that sends a man to the middle for an open look.
This action is a very good misdirection action that reads on what the defender is doing.
If the defender takes the flare, then the middle slip will be open.

#3 - Dive
Dive is an action to try to get an overload.
The action is designed to run a shooter to an opposite side corner while lifting a player to create an overload on one side.
The post player will probably be open on the duck in as well as there will be an emphasis on taking away the shooters.

Coach Lanier has the Panthers primed to throw everything they have at a tough matchup vs. Gonzaga.
Look out for these zone sets from Coach Lanier’s zone offense clinic to make a competitive game.
Never get out-coached,
