Description

This is an example of a Horns offensive set play that uses the UCLA cut for scoring opportunities. It is derived from Loop and Elbow Offenses and Counter Sets by Cheryl Reeve.

STEP 1

STEP 2

To begin, 1 executes a dribble entry towards the right side wing. When that occurs, 2 executes a zipper cut to the top via the pin down screen set by 4.

After that, 2 receives the ball from 1 while 4 self replaces at the right side high post elbow. Also, as that action occurs, 3 utilizes a V-cut to get open near the left side wing area.

STEP 3

Next, 2 dribbles toward the left slot area and following that, 3 receives the ball from 2. Afterwards, 2 executes a UCLA cut to the basket via the UCLA screen set by 5.

From there, 2 could receive the ball from 3 and score at the rim if that is open. Conversely, if 2 is not open, then 2 could cut to the left side low post area while 1 drifts to the empty right side corner.

STEP 4

Next, 3 dribbles toward the middle of the court via the ball screen set by 5. Furthermore, after the ball screen action occurs, 2 cuts to the previously occupied left side wing area via a down screen set by 5.

At the same time, 1 cuts to the right side wing area via a wide pin down screen set by 4. After that, 1 could receive the ball from 3 and take the open jump shot or 2 could receive the ball instead and take the open jump shot as well.

Also, if 2 receives the ball but does not take the jump shot, then 4 could fill the vacant right side corner.

STEP 5

From that point, 5 could receive the ball from 2 and after that, the post split action could occur. Therefore, 3 could cut to the left side wing via an away screen set by 2.

Furthermore, 2 could slip the screen and cut to the basket as well. Afterwards, 3 could receive the ball from 5 and take the open jump shot. Alternatively, 2 could receive it instead and score at the rim.

On the other hand, if 5 decides to score with a low post move, then 2 could fill the right side corner while 4 fills the right side wing and 1 fills the top to create floor balance.
