Of course, even the two options of that BLOB come AFTER this common 2-3 zone beater
And there's another option after the BLOB
In other words, Bill Self might be good at coaching (I first saw this lob set with Kansas, but I don't know for sure whether he invented the play)

The play hinges on how x3 reacts to 1 getting the ball back near the far slot
If x3 chases 1, then 2 will be open for a corner three
But if x3 does NOT chase 1 and stays home to stop 2, then 4 & 5 have a two-on-one against x5
(We gave up SEVERAL threes before the lob came lol)

As a Kansas homer coaching HS in NYC, I loved watching our opponent bust this lob play out against us
It's a great example of how defending the 1st option leaves the defense vulnerable to the 2nd (the lob)
Me: "Oh shit! I love this play! ...oh shit...."
I'll post the diagram itself as a reply
