Coaching guide

Good baseline inbounds design balances a primary scoring action with clear timing, legal screening angles and a safe outlet. The diagrams below let coaches compare those reads without treating every possession as the same set.

How to use this series

Choose an option that fits the time available, the inbounder's vision and the defense you expect. Rehearse the first read and the safety outlet together.

Coaching objectives

  • Create a clean passing window
  • Coordinate cuts and screens
  • Keep a safe release against denial
