Inbound Play (Under our basket)
- The offense starts with our three ball handlers around the perimeter of the 3-point line.
- One post player takes the ball in. The other lines up on the block in front of the ball.
When the inbounding player (circle) slaps the ball, the play begins.
- The post player on that side (square) sets a pick on the bottom defender.
- The ball-side wing player (diamond) sets a pick on the top defender.
- The point guard (X) cuts to the wing to get the ball.
- If he gets the ball, he can make a play or dribble back to the top to start the regular offense.
The priority on this play is getting the ball in. If we can get it into the (X) player, then we made it simple.
If not, the next look for the inbounding player (circle) is to look to the backside cutter (triangle).
If that is taken away, then the diamond player will cut to the goal in the open space (as shown in the video)

Inbound Play (Sideline)
- When taking the ball out on the sideline, our players will "stack up" in a single line.
