One of my favorites is what we call “Missouri”. And we are going to use that name just because that is what we call it. It is a deception play. And what we have here is we are in the box the same way. And normally what happens is simply this, the coach on the sideline uses a little verbalization, and he says “Number two, step back and get the ball in.” That is all he tells him. So we have some movement here.
First of all, our movement is simple. On the side of the ball, he is going to dive hard to the basket. Then he is going to pick back, and he is going to flag to the corner, and he is going to roll on back to do a safety vow and we are going to flood hard to the basket on this side, looking for the opposite. This man as we just told you, he is going to rock your step back and this man is going to go and he is going to accelerate to the basket.
It may not look like much. I want to tell you it is good for a couple of baskets a game because we are going to run it on both sides. I am going to be the defender; the coaches just look over and tell you to “Step back and get the ball.” So being a great defender and wanting that dunk, I am going to play that verbalization that I heard. Here we go.
Now that is what we call “Missouri.” When we run “Missouri” two, we run it to the opposite side. Everything is similar; he is diving hard for the ball. He is picking back. He is flooding into the corner, he is rolling back. You are going to take one rock your step back. His coach says “Step back and get it.” You are going to rock back and call decoy and go hard. Okay, let us try it once. I will be the defensive dummy on this one.
“Missouri” Two. So we have “Missouri” one, we have “Missouri” two. We have strong; we have weak. All out of the box set.
