Side Out

Side Out is a simple sideline out of bounds play that creates multiple options, with the first look being a quick cut to the hoop.

Breakdown

  • 4 immediately cuts toward the hoop as the first scoring option.
  • 3 rolls out toward midcourt to provide a safe outlet.
  • 5 sets a screen for 2, who crashes toward the ball for another passing option.

Coaching Tip

Get into the set quickly—4’s cut to the hoop is the first and best look before the defense gets set.
