Inbounds Plays – BLOB, SLOB & Press Break Playbook (PDF)

Turn every dead ball into a scoring chance, against any defense. The Diamond Press Inbounds Plays playbook gives you one universal package of baseline (BLOB), sideline (SLOB) and press-break sets. The same alignments and cuts beat man-to-man, switching defenses, 2-3 zones and full-court pressure, so your players never freeze on a surprise look.

What's Inside

• Five formation families compared: Box, 1-4 Low (Flat), Line Stack, Triangle and 1-4 Across
• Universal rules: one alignment with many looks, choosing your inbounder, the slap trigger, silent play calls (in-order and game-clock systems), and head-hunting screens
• Late-clock rules for under 3.0 and under 0.3 seconds
• Six court diagrams with action boxes: Box screen-the-screener vs. man, Box "Pinball" vs. a 2-3 zone, 1-4 Low Flat Flex, Triangle screen-the-screener, sideline stagger, and the 1-4 Across press break
• BLOB package with three counters to switch-everything defense
• SLOB package: stagger screen-the-screener, high-post vacate handoff, zone cut-through, zone runner, zipper and pin-down
• Press-break package: a table of seven presses with your counter to each, pause-for-poise rules, and the full 1-4 Across with Four Fly and continuity options
• 4-stage practice progression, a game-day blueprint and an in-game troubleshooting matrix

Who It's For

High school, AAU, middle school and college coaches who want a small, reliable set of inbounds plays that work no matter what defense the other team shows.
