Brad Stevens: Best Side OB in Basketball


























If you don’t have Brad Stevens’ Side OB in, you need to put it in. There are counters that you can add, but the basic play is a game winner. 


If you want to see it in action, go to Tulsa Basketball on Twitter, you will see it as a game winner vs. Wichita State and this year vs. Western Kentucky. 














Diagram #1- #5 doesn’t need to screen for #2, but they just need to exchange. #2 must cut hard to the ball. If their defender does not cover, you may just pass into #2 for an open three (highly unlikely). #1 cuts hard like they are going to the corner but screens for #4. #4 cuts away from the ball. 

Diagram #2- #3 will skip the ball to #4. As the pass is in the air, #2 plants and comes back off #5’s screen. 

If you have not seen this play executed mulitiple times in pro and college games- you don’t watch enough basketball!!!
