Breakdown
- 4 and 5 flash high to start the play.
- 1 enters the ball to whichever is open.
- As the entry pass happens, 2 and 3 cut high on the wings.
- The passer pivots and looks for 2 or 3, who quickly backcut their defenders for layups.
Coaching Tip
This is a timing play — all 5 players must move with no hesitation. 2 and 3 should cut high before backcutting hard to create the best angle.
