It’s that time of the year! Every possession matters. One point can determine the fate of the game and the season. 

As we want to be ready for any game situation, we need to make sure we take full advantage of our ATO actions. 

Let’s take a look at a breakdown of Baseline Out of Bounds Actions from some high-level veteran college coaches.

This action is excellent because it makes the out-of-bounds shooter open for a shot, but pay attention to it’s counter action, as it makes the 5 man wide open after the screen from the 1. Let’s take a look at the breakdown below:
