About This Play/Drill

Regular Press Break Set-up except point guard takes the ball out of bounds: 3 will diagonal screen for 2 man and 2 man has the option of going high or low off the screen. The 3 will always break opposite the 2 man.  After passing to either the 2 or 3, the point guard immediately cuts hard down the middle of the floor for a quick return pass. This is effective against teams that trap the first pass in either man or zone.  If the point guard is not open on the cut, then the ball is reversed through the 3 man and then to the post player 5 flashing sideline.  When the 5 man catches his reads are sideline, middle, or reverse it again. The 4 flashes middle, the point guard flashes sideline and the 2 player sprints wide and becomes throw over option.  If the ball is passed middle, the receiver immediately looks to pass it opposite for a potential (2 vs. 1) against the defense.
