About This Play/Drill

Swing Cross is an option upon the swing or centering pass to the center trailer in Early Offense.

On passes to the center trailer the offense executes "dual actions" in this case cutting to opposite corner from the high wing. The ball movement and dual actions move players prior to the pentration moment (spread ball screen).

  • Five-lane break with reversal to trailer

  • Players 1 & 4 back cut to opposite corners on the pass to 5

     

    Players 2 & 3 blast cut to high wing

  • 5 may pass to either side

  • 5 has passed to 3 and follows into Spread Ball Screen

     

    In the frame above, 5 has passed to 3 and followed into the ball screen. 5 aims for the backpocket or lower half of the on-ball defender. If the defender goes over the screen execute the running slip or pick-and-go and break the defense with a hard roll. If the on-ball defender goes under the screen, twist into a rescreen improving the angle
