Summary

This play should be used with less than 8 seconds left on the clock and when inbounding the ball from the opposite end of the court. Your team should be losing the game at this state by 1-3 points.

Multiple opportunities will develop in the paint and on the perimeter, so it depends on how many points you need/want.

Personnel

1 – Ball Handler/Perimeter Shooter – Will start in the backcourt – typically your point guard.

2 – Perimeter Shooter – A shooter who is adept at hitting three point shots.

3 – Perimeter Shooter – Another shooter that can hit a three if needed.

4 – Inbounder– One of your taller players that can find the open point guard on the inbound.

5 – Post Player – A tall and athletic player that can hit a shot inside the three point arc.

Instructions:

1. 4 will inbound the ball to 1.

2. 1 dribbles the ball across the half court line.

3. 2, located on the block, will set a screen for 3, who is on the opposite block.

4. 3 will come off the screen set by 2 and streak to the corner, looking for the ball and an open three pointer.

5. 5 will then come down and set a screen for 2.

6. 2 will pop out to the top of the key and look for the ball and a three point attempt.

7. 5 will be posting up in the middle, so 1 has the option of passing to 2,3, or 5, or taking a shot of his own, whichever is available.
