• The players start in a 3 out - 2 in formation.

• 1 will make a dribble entry to the wing to start the play. Note: 1 can also pass to the wing to start the play.

• As 1 dribbles to the wing, 2 will circle out to the top of the key.

• As this is happening, 3 will begin to cut to the baseline to set up their defender for the double screen.

• 4 will cut across the lane to the middle post area and set a screen for 3.

• As 4 is coming across the lane, 5 will cut toward them to fake their defender and then turn and set a screen for 3.

• 3 should have already set up their defender by cutting low, and will now read their defender and cut off the double screen.

• 3 will either cut high or low off the double screen, depending on how their defender reacts.

• If 3 cuts low, they should try to seal their defender off and get position as close to the basket as possible.

• 1 should dribble below the foul-line extended to improve their passing angle.

• If 3 does not get the pass from 1, they should establish low post position.

• 1 should dribble lower to improve their passing angle to 3 in the low post.

• If 3 is open and has good post position, 1 should pass to them.

• If 3 is not open, 1 should pass out to 2. 2 must remember to come toward the pass to eliminate the chance of a steal.

• 5 should come off the screen and cut just above the elbow area.

• 2 will pass to 5 or 3 if they are open.

• If 5 gets the pass they should look for a high-low play with either 3 or 4.
