Stack Offense #4 - Man-to-Man Offense

Stack Offense #4

Offense against a man-to-man defense

This is another set play from the Stack offense series.  Effective against a man-to-man defense, this play should result in an alley-oop or a post-up.  Here's how this is run:

1. This play is set up in a two-guard set, your point guard in control of the ball.  Your small forward and center should be stacked at the ball-side block, with your power forward at the opposite block.
2. To start this play, your small forward should follow your center as he flashes to the elbow, then jet outwards to create space to receive the ball.  The point guard should enter the ball into the wing, then dive down off a screen set by the center to the block.  If the point guard's defender gets caught on the screen, hit the point guard for a lay-up.  If not, he should cut through to the corner.  
3. As soon as the point guard passes the screen set by the center, the power forward should set a backscreen on the center's man.  Wait until the power forward is set, or it will result in a moving screen.  The center should roll around the screen looking for a lob pass from the small forward.  After the center comes off the screen, the power forward will roll/dive to the block, posting up.  The first look is the alley-oop to the center, and the second look should be the post-up at the block.  One of these should be open, but you must make sure your small forward can make this pass.
