Basketball Inbound Plays – A Play Called Special

I’m going to tell you about one of our basketball inbound plays that we call “Special”. Even though it is an inbounds play it can also be used as a fastbreak. It is similar to the well known Stack basketball play.

Put your tallest basketball player on 2, second tallest on 1,and shortest on 4, between the leftover players you need to decide who is on 3 and who is going to throw it in. The person throws it in to #2 who jumps catches it, and if the shot is wide open you can shoot,if not pass it it to the person who threw it in. He would have jumped in a little closer in from the 3 point line.

During all of this, #4 is going to run backwards, #3 is going to take one step back, and #2 is going to go and look for a pass from the lane.

If you use it as a fastbreak basketball play then when #2 passes it to the person who throws it in that person can dribble down or pass it to #4 who back to the half court area.
