Horns Hi-Lo (Post Slip)

Court: Half court
Length: 7 steps

About this play

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 is at the top, which is the one moment there is no low help. Switch the elbows and you hand 5 a guard to post. Needs a 4 who can pass from the top and a 5 who will seal, not sprint. UnforgivingHoops' Sixers film and Coach's Clipboard's Horns hi-lo option are where I got this; give them a look if you want the rest of the elbow-entry reads.
