"23" Set Play vs. Man-to-Man Defense

We run this play against a man-to-man defense. It works especially well against an aggressive man defense and if you're team is quick and undersized.

is it possible to make 23 setplay not a success if my opponent is using 23 setplay? any tips? tq very much!

[russellfukuimano32]

Hey Farmville,

We actually run two different variations of this play. One (which is in the video) with a guard-to-wing entry, and the other with a guard-to-high post entry. I teach the second variation after my team is comfortable with this initial play. Generally speaking, whenever a team takes away something defensively, they usually give something else up. In this case, It's almost always a backdoor pass or a if they're cheating under the high post screens, you'll have some open shots!

Great series of plays against the various defensive sets. Do you have an offensive play against a 1-3-1 defense? Your triangle with some adjustments may also do the trick.

[russellfukuimano32]

Yeah, we use that offense against a 1-3-1 but make some adjustments with our high and low posts. We still have a 2 guard top and a shooter on one side in the corner.

nice video coach!!

Any ideas of any varations for the "5" in this offense? We call it fuzzbuster because it picks the fuzz off the cutters, but the 5 does not get a lot of movement/opportunity. I have a big man who can also move well, so tjoughts are appreciated.

Hey i'm a twelve year old center..My team plays the passing game..can you please make a video of the passing game with some tricks so i can better undetstand it??PLEASE!!

[Mainstandard]

good play, i've actually seen this before and used it in games, i prefer a direct screen on nr 2 after the backflip, it's like option 4(i think) except more quick and it will catch the offense offguard if the screener gets a screen. the spanish national team use this and it's called Cross. (there a cross when 1 and 2 cuts the first cuts)

I have run this play for several years, (slightly varied) and rarely, if ever, has one of the options not been open. I do have a question. If a team is playing a sluff man to man and switching on everything it usually bogs this play down. Any suggestions on countering this?

love this one coach ! thanks

I love your videos. Very well done and illustrated. I like how you do it slow and then fast. I would love to see more.

Thanks and keep up the good work..

hey, thx for that very well structured and explained vid.

as i want to change my teams "style" from pure improvisation to something like a coordinated play, i was looking for some help to achieve this.

thx to your vids i feel more confident about my teams future!
