Basketball: 3 - 2 - 1 (SLOB, BOB, ATO)

Between age and some nagging health issues, I don't see a return to on-court coaching possible. There's no reason to hold back anything from the playbook. Plus, many coaches enjoy the Xs and Os. 

Here are 3 SLOBs, 2 BOBs, and an ATO. A lot of actions can execute from different starting orientations. 

SLOBs.

Boomerang. Zipper, give back, roll down. 


Winner. Won multiple games with this screen-the-screener. Adjust roles to personnel. Good way to get post entry on switching teams. 


Big dog. Why not put pressure on defenses with special situations plays?


BOBs.

44. Versus zone. Do you have a good inbounder and three-point scorer? 


UCONN "Boomerang action." 


ATO. Spread fake PnR backdoor. 


Lagniappe. Need not be original to be useful.
