UCLA Offense - Example of an offensive set
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 by step
Step descriptions
Review the court position and available coaching instructions for each step.
STEP 1
Initial positions are set so the team can move in a coordinated way and create space.
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 then the post split action could occur. Therefore, 3 could cut to the left 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 corner, 4 the right wing, and 1 the top to create floor balance.
