Passback 3

A quick-hitting play that creates pressure at the rim while opening up a 3-point shot option on the wing.

Breakdown

  • Quick hitter designed to create either a layup or an open 3.
  • 1 enters the ball to 3 on the wing, while 2 sets up a ball screen.
  • 3 takes the ball on a strong dribble drive toward the basket.
  • After screening, 2 flares out as a wing 3-point option.
  • 3 should finish the layup if open; if not, look to kick out to 2 for the 3.

Coaching Tip

3 must attack the basket with purpose to force the defense to collapse, opening up the kick-out pass to 2.
