Interesting in bounds play...

Don't see this has been posted, but Oakland ran a great play with 6 tenths of a second left to get to the foul line...never seen this before. Brilliant...

That was pretty cool, but really dumb on the YSU guy, although instinct probably takes over.

Tim Floyd tried it in 1997 against UCLA in the Sweet 16. Did not work. Our own Hook40 was the inbounder and Willoughby set the screen.

I am not sure it was a foul, he didn't look that set to me...

 

[CRAZYGREG]

He was moving when he set that screen. Also, that is a very "cheap" play.

 

[ISUME]

I can't believe the ref called that a foul.

Granted it was a foul, but with .6 seconds left you think you would let that go.

I've never seen that done before. Pretty awesome, IMO.

This was one of our set inbound plays at Davenport North under Coach J.D. Rios. It worked quite a few times.

Yeah I saw this earlier today and thought what an awesome play idea, however, I do agree with some of the other posters saying that guy was nowhere near set.

Johnny Orr used it several times. I can only remember it working once. You see teams screen like that so as to free up the in bounder so it improves his vision to throw the long pass at the end of a game.

That was the first thing I thought of. I was at that game and there was a full second on the clock, I believe. Willoughby got absolutely trucked and the official decided to ignore the foul and call a quick five second call after Willoughby got hammered - game over.

I think our downfall was coach having us tell the ref what we were going to do. In hindsight, maybe we should have let it be a surprise to our striped friend and see if we could have gotten a reaction call.

Guy leaned towards the baseline to initiate the contact, illegal screen.

Thay seems like an awful idea!

Btw, I'm pretty sure Willoughby flopped in very obvious fashion.

It actually did work, if I recall. They just didn't call the damn foul.

 

[MrOtter]

The article points out that the coach in this game said he told the ref what they were gonna do and the ref said he would call it. Seems like the ref had his mind made up to call a foul before it even happened. Good idea but that was a weak call in this case.

Yeah, this was in our playbook in HS, I think.

I just rewatched the 1997 play and it wasn't as hard a foul as I remember but the ref chose to swallow his whistle and call the 5 second instead. I counted it and it wasn't 5 seconds until after Willoughby hit the floor. The funny thing was the announcers having no idea what they were trying to do. They claimed Klay lost his head and lost track of the clock, didn't know where to pass it, yadda, yadda, yadda. I guess I never heard all of this being at the game. Kind of funny because everyone around us at the game thought what Tim was trying to do was pretty obvious.

Bob knight was the first to do it. He set double screens on a long pass in the early 80's

I don't think I've seen that play before, I don't think the UCLA guy even touched him, but that was a fast 5 second call.
