Starting setup

1 has the ball on the baseline. 5 starts high in the middle, with 2 below 5 and 4 on the ballside. 3 stays spaced on the opposite side.

Teach the action

  1. 2 back screens for 5 while 4 sets the second screen.
  2. 5 cuts to the rim. Let 5 clear before 2 leaves the first screen.
  3. 2 uses 4 to reach the ballside corner. 3 holds the opposite side.
  4. 1 passes to 2 for the corner catch. The early pass to 5 is a separate read.

Coaching cue

Have 2 hold the back screen until 5 clears. Leaving early takes the first scoring threat out of the action.
