Scotland SLOB Isolation Play

I thought that this sideline play would be a good play to run with a short shot clock.  Not only do you have the isolation on the entry, but I love the rub action for a hand-off with the person in-bounding the ball.  So many times, defenders forget about the guy throwing the ball in and he/she can get a good look at the basket.
