About This Play/Drill

Head Coach Jim Boeheim has once again shown what a masterful Coach he is turning this year's Orange into the 2nd ranked team in the nation with an undefeated record.  The Orange have made a smooth transition to the ACC and sit atop the standings with a big showdown against Duke looming this Saturday in the Dome where over 34,000 tickets have been sold.

This Transition Stagger action is a good way to get a shooter off early in the offense if the defense sits back and relaxes.  The play can also end in a post entry pass.
