Today's Theme... Illinois Horns Post-up Play
This simple Horns post-up play comes from Matt Bollant, Eastern Illinois University Head Women's Coach. In these diagrams, O3 is the post player. But you could call it for O2. If either the X2 or X3 defender is in foul trouble, you can run it for the offensive player being guarded by that player. Or if there is a big-little mis-match with either X2 or X3, call it for that player.
In diagram 1, O1 passes to O4 at the arc. O5 screens for O1 and O1 cuts over that screen to the left wing. O3 cuts early, as the first pass is in the air.
O3 gets the pass from O4 for the post move (diagram 2). This pass could be a bounce pass if X3 is playing behind O3. Or if X3 is fronting O3, O3 takes the defender up the lane a step and then seals for a lob pass over the top from O4.
