The Weave Play sidecourt out of bounds play uses a set that can give several great options to specifically call or to run; depending upon what the defense allows. The following diagrams will describe each option. The Weave Option The weave option play starts with three players out front (#1, #2, and #3), and a double high post (#4 and #5). When the inbounder receives the ball from the official, #2 screens away for #3. #3 then cuts toward the basketball and #2 stays back for defensive balance (to keep his defender out of the action). |
#1 passes to #3 and then moves toward him to receive a return pass or handoff. The ballside post, #5, steps up and screens #3's defender; #3 goes over the screen and cuts to the basket. At the same time, #1 takes a dribble and quickly passes to the weakside post, #4. #4 immediately passes the basketball to #3 (who is cutting to the basket). |
The Dribble Option As a change of pace, #1, after receiving the basketball from #3, will simply work a high pick and roll with the weakside post, #4. This option can be called out, or it can be run if #4 is not open for the pass from #1. #1 will simply keep his dribble alive and rub his defender into the screen. After setting the screen, #4 rolls to the basket looking for a pass from #1. If #3 had cut to the basket, he should cut back out to clear the lane. |
The Lob Option This option can be called for by the coach or even the players if the defenders are cheating out high. As the play begins, #2, instead of screening away for #3, will receive a backscreen from the weakside post, #4. #1 will then throw a cross court lob pass to #2 for a possible layup. If this play has been called ahead of time, #5 can facilitate the play by cutting toward the basketball and clearing the foul land area (so his defender cannot help on the lob.) |
