Out-of-bounds basketball plays diagramedThe scoring possibilities are great for out-of-bounds plays, particularly under the basket and near sidelines. A quick and sudden score from such a basketball play shakes the opponent's confidence, not to mention increased team morale. Every year, you will see many clutch games won by well executed out-of-bounds plays in the closing seconds of a close game. This is reason enough to use considerable practice to perfection of these plays. Sideline out-of-bounds plays from center-court do not lend themselves as effectively as the closer-in and under-the-basket plays. Perhaps this is because plays from center-court sideline are more susceptible to pass interception. Defenses for this designed and practiced and perhaps because the threat to score make the opponents guard the under-basket area, lessening interception attempts. Plan your out-of-bounds plays well and adapted to the skills of your players. Give each player a specific assignment. The best passer should take the ball out-of-bounds. Usually, this falls to one of the perimeter players. If you have a choice pick the taller player. The player taking the ball out-of-bounds should keep the ball moving, faking right, left, up, or down. The most important thing is that he does not telegraph the pass in-bounds. Also, arrange some sort of signal to initiate movement of the players. Each out-of-bound play should have several options, all coming from within the same original formation. The following plays present several types of sideline and under-the-basket plays with variation possibilities that lend themselves to all types of players.
