Remember, "do more of what works and less of what doesn't." We spend 15 percent of every practice on special situations (we need more practice time).
At a recent high school game, I saw teams run many variations of box inbounds plays. Astonishingly, most created quality chances. Simple is powerful.

Cross-screens
I am always shocked that this works. Teams don't expect simple.
Screen-the-screener
Most teams don't defend screen-the-screener plays well. Remember, "bigs away come back into play." Copyright that.
America's play - "Everyone runs (a version of) it."
Off-ball screen to near corner plus stack (below).
Not a "true" box but creates two strong options. If I were playing, I'd fight to be '3' with an open shot most times.
Diagonal Roll
Off-ball screen to far corner.
Very simple. Very open.
"Triangle Thunder variation" with bigs screen
This variation builds more distraction for the guards and momentum cutting.
Lagniappe: Old stuff never goes out of style, when it works...can be used as stand-alone or ATO actions.
When stuff doesn't work, it's usually not poor design, but lazy cutting. Have the right personnel excel at basic actions.
