Second Through

Second Through is a simple play that creates multiple layup chances using screens and smart cutting.

Breakdown

  • 1 enters to 3 on the wing.
  • 4 sets a screen for 2, who crosses the lane looking for the ball.
  • If 2 doesn’t get the pass, they cut back to the corner.
  • 1 screens for 4, who cuts across the lane behind 2 and looks for the easy layup.

Coaching Tip

Don’t get too low on the wing screen. A higher screen creates a better passing angle and an easier finish at the hoop.
