What it is
- BLOB Play Taxonomy is a basketball action that two players are at the blocks.
- Two players are positioned at the high post (near the free throw line), spaced apart to form the "doors." A shooter cuts up through the gap between them, and the two high-post.
- The cutter catches at the free throw line with space for a shot.
Why it matters
- This creates a quick dribble-attack rather than relying on a catch-and-shoot.
How it works
- The cutter catches at the free throw line with space for a shot.
- If the shot is not available, the cutter can pass to one of the screeners as they re-open to the basket.
- Play 2 — "Zipper": Cut Through the Lane A stack formation is used with all four players lined up vertically on one side (typically near the strong-side block).
- The inbound is made to the top player of the stack (at the free throw line).
- As the pass is made, the bottom player of the stack cuts across the lane (executing a "zip" cut), running perpendicular to the stack.
