Add to My Playbook
How it works
A 3-out-2-in set that sends the wing through a double baseline screen before replacing the top. The ball reverses to the replacing guard, then the high post flashes to create a high-low entry for the sealing low post.
When to use it
Half-court set against man-to-man when you want to get the ball inside with a high-low. Good with a post who can flash and a big who can seal.
Personnel
3-out-2-in. 1 is the ball handler. 2 is on the right wing and uses the double screen. 4 and 5 are stacked on the left side as the double baseline screen. 3 is on the left wing and replaces 1 at the top. After the entry, 5 flashes, 4 seals, and 1 clears to the corner.
Step by step
Step 1. - 1 dribble entries at 2 - 2 uses a double baseline screen - 3 replaces 1 at the top of the key and receives a pass from 1
Step 2. - 5 flashes to the high post - 1 clears to the corner - 4 seals for high low
Reads
- Setup. 1 dribbles at 2. 2 uses the double baseline screen. 3 replaces 1 at the top and receives the pass.
- First read. 5 flashes to the high post. Pass from 3 to 5.
- Second read. 4 seals low for the high-low. 5 passes to 4 for a layup.
Counter
If the pass to the high post is denied, 3 keeps the ball and the floor stays spaced with 1 in the corner and 2 on the wing.
Teaching cues
- 2: run tight off the double screen.
- 5: flash to the high post with your hands up.
- 4: seal your defender and hold the position.
- 1: clear to the corner after the pass.
