Horns "Flex"

The Horns "Flex" play elevates the standard Horns set by introducing more dynamic and engaging actions. This variation of Horns, gets the wings involved and uses the zoom motion to create scoring chances.

Pass to the High Post
54321

The point guard initiates the play by passing the ball to one of the bigs positioned at the high post.

Screen for the Wing
54321
  • After making the pass, the point guard cuts through the paint, ready for a quick pass, and sets a pick for the wing player stationed in the opposite corner.
  • Once the wing leaves the screen, the point guard replaces the wing at the low corner.
Secondary Screen
54321

In a zoom-style action, the nearest big (not holding the ball) sets a secondary screen, allowing the wing to pop up to the near-side elbow.

Options
54321
  • The ball-handler holds their position, waiting for the wing to establish at the opposite elbow.
  • The wing with the ball has multiple options: take the shot, drive to the hoop, or initiate additional actions based on the defensive read.
