What it is
- Full-Court Inbounds Plays (Touchdown / Long Pass Specials) is a basketball action involving length-of-the-floor inbounds sets used to advance the ball from the baseline to score.
- With only a few seconds left and no timeout-advanced ball, a full-court set is the only way to generate a real scoring chance.
- A well-designed long-pass play can produce a layup or open three even with under 3-4 seconds remaining.
Why it matters
- With only a few seconds left and no timeout-advanced ball, a full-court set is the only way to generate a real scoring chance.
- A well-designed long-pass play can produce a layup or open three even with under 3-4 seconds remaining.
- These are distinct from half-court SLOB/BLOB sets (see Special Situation Inbounds) because the inbounder throws from the far baseline and clock management is the central constraint.
How it works
- Screen-the-screener and pin-down variations free a runner up the sideline as an outlet, then quickly relay to a shooter.
- Time discipline: with roughly 2 seconds or less, the play targets a catch-and-shoot or a tip; with 3-4+ seconds, a catch-and-drive layup attempt is feasible.
Reads and counters
- - The inbounder reads the deepest open man first (the home-run), then the safe sideline outlet if the long pass is covered. - Receivers read whether there is time to gather and shoot or only to tip/catch-and-release.
- The inbounder reads the deepest open man first (the home-run), then the safe sideline outlet if the long pass is covered.
- Receivers read whether there is time to gather and shoot or only to tip/catch-and-release.
Teaching cues
- Throw to space ahead of the receiver, not to the body, so the catch flows into the shot.
- Rehearse the exact time thresholds so players know whether to shoot immediately or take one dribble.
- Have a clear second option (the safe sideline outlet) so a contested long pass is not forced into a turnover.
