Kansas Half Court Offense

Let's take you through a typical half court possession by Kansas.

Their transition from fast break basketball to half court basketball is seamless.

(#1) reverses the ball to (#4) who reverses to (#3) on the wing.

(#2) moves into the lane and back screens (#4).
(#5) follows the ball across the lane to the block.
(#4) goes to the basket for the lob pass while (#2) steps out after the back screen.

(#3) reverses the ball to (#2) on top.
(#4) moves across and sets a screen for (#5).
(#5) comes underneath the screen looking for a direct pass from (#2) on top. (#4) steps out after screening to give more room for (#5) to work in the post.

(#2) hits (#4) after screening and then screens away on the perimeter and then down screens for (#5).

(#1) uses the screen and comes to the top of the floor while (#5) uses the down screen from (#2) to break to the wing area.

(#1) and (#4) screen away on the perimeter for (#3). After screening, (#4) breaks to the basket.

(#3) then can either pass to (#1) on the wing and look for the isolation on the block for the post player (#4) or he can hit (#2) coming off the down screen from (#5).

Good ball movement, man movement and screening. Kansas also does a very good job in the post with their footwork. They do a great job of getting and securing position on the blocks.
