# Basketball Set Plays

A playbook is a coach's language for solving the defense. These sets cover the situations every team faces — half-court offense, out-of-bounds, beating zones and pressure — with the reads, options and counters that make each one hard to guard.

## Basketball plays drills

- [Horns Set Plays](https://coachboard.app/library/basketball/horns-set-plays.md) — Tactic: Install a repeatable half-court alignment that creates rim pressure, pick-and-pop threes and corner kick-outs from a single starting picture.
- [Spain Pick and Roll](https://coachboard.app/library/basketball/spain-pick-and-roll.md) — Tactic: Add a three-man ball-screen action that generates lobs at the rim and open threes at the top by punishing whichever choice the roller's defender makes.
- [BLOB Box Set Plays](https://coachboard.app/library/basketball/blob-box-set-plays.md) — Tactic: Turn baseline out-of-bounds possessions into layups and open jumpers using one box alignment with layered screening options and a reliable safety.
- [SLOB Plays](https://coachboard.app/library/basketball/slob-plays.md) — Tactic: Build a sideline out-of-bounds package that beats denial pressure, produces a catch-and-shoot three, and creates a rim finish from one shared alignment.
- [Zone Offense vs a 2-3](https://coachboard.app/library/basketball/zone-offense-vs-2-3.md) — Tactic: Generate layups and open catch-and-shoot looks against a 2-3 zone by occupying the high post and short corner, shifting the zone with reversals, and punishing slow rotations.
- [1-4 High Entries](https://coachboard.app/library/basketball/1-4-high-entries.md) — Tactic: Start half-court offense cleanly against denial pressure using four interchangeable entries from the 1-4 high alignment, each with a built-in backdoor punishment.
- [Press Break vs the Diamond Press](https://coachboard.app/library/basketball/press-break-vs-diamond-press.md) — Tactic: Advance the ball against the 1-2-1-1 diamond press without panic dribbling, and convert broken presses into numbers advantages at the rim.
