Horns
Two bigs at the elbows, shooters in the corners. One rolls, the other pops.
The same entry as the base pick-and-roll with the assignments flipped: the screener pops and the opposite big dives. Run it when the big who sets the screen is…
A re-screen: 1 uses the first elbow screen, turns back, and takes a second screen from the other big going the opposite direction. Punishes defenses that load…
Screen-the-screener for a three: 1 uses 4's screen as a decoy, then 5 flare-screens 4 to the weak wing for a skip pass. Needs a 4 who can shoot. The Spurs…
A back screen for a lob. The ball goes to one elbow, the opposite corner lifts as if he is coming off a pindown, then rips the elbow big's defender and the big…

The modern Horns entry: ball to the elbow, the passer chases it for a dribble handoff, and the opposite big dives as the handoff happens. Boston runs this look…
Michigan State's Horns Chin: both corners lift, the ball swings wing to slot, and an elbow big back-screens (chins) the wing for a rim cut. The counter is the…
A flex cut and a screen-the-screener out of the elbow entry. The weak corner cuts along the baseline to the ball-side block, then the passer who screened for…
The continuity entry: a zipper cut off a downscreen, then a pindown, a reversal, a flare, and a post-up, all from the same five spots. It turns a Horns set into…
The simplest Horns answer to a switching defense: one big pops to the top to take the entry, the other seals his man and dives to the block the moment the ball…
The base Horns set: 1 picks a side, the screener rolls and the opposite big pops. Teach this first and run it until the reads are automatic. Personnel: the…
Spain pick-and-roll out of Horns: as the screener rolls, a guard back-screens the roller's defender and pops to the top. Beats drop coverage because the back…
