Breakdown
- Start with all 4 players across the baseline.
- On the call, 2 and 3 set a ballside elevator screen (shoulder-to-shoulder) near the block.
- 4 sprints through the elevator screen, looking for either a quick layup cut or popping out to the corner for a 3.
- 1 makes the read: if the defense collapses, hit the corner 3; if they chase high, hit the inside cut for a layup.
Coaching Tip
Spacing is critical — make sure the elevator screen is tight and that 4 cuts hard with no hesitation to sell both scoring options.
