Jump Ball Plays
|
|
|
| |
1)
SURE
This is when you feel you will get the tip. The ball is tipped straight ahead to the big forward, 4. Both side players, 2 and 3, go to the basket as soon as 4 obtains the tip.
|
2)
SAFE
The odds here are against you obtaining the tip. 5 attempts to tip it straight ahead to 4. Both side players, 2 and 3, attempt to outguess the opposition and steal their tip. The safe guard, 1, starts back defensively before the tip.
|
3)
EVEN
The tip goes straight ahead. 3 goes to the basket and 2 reads the play.
|
4)
SPECIAL #1
The tip is made to the player on the left, 3. At the same time, 4 steps forward and screens 5's opponent. 5 cuts for the basket and receives a lob pass from 3 (3 can dribble toward basket if needed).
|
5)
SPECIAL #2
The tip is made straight ahead to 4. 2 makes a cut over the center which impedes the movement of the defender on 1, who is cutting toward the basket. 3 goes back on defense with the toss of the ball. 4 may pass to 1, who may be completely open or pivot into the path of 2's defender and hand the ball off to 2, who can go on her own.
|
6)
SPECIAL #3
Similar to #2, however, run from a box formation. 1 and 2 line up behind the jumper with 3 and 4 ahead. 5 tips the ball ahead to his left to 4. 1 and 2 crisscross off the jumper, with the one on the ballside going first. 3, who did not receive the tip, steps forward and sets a screen on the defender of 1. 4 may pass to either of the guards. There is a good chance 1 will be open for a layup.
