Man to Man Play: 4 Out Swing Rattle

This play works out of the 4-out, 1-in set so it's great for anyone running that offense. You often get an easy cut to the basket or wide open shots on the wing.

Instructions

  1. Players set up in the 4-out, 1-in set. Player 1 starts the play. Player 5 flashes to the ball side elbow and Player 4 swings around the ball-side low block. What this does is it clears out the right side.

  1. Player 2 makes a V-cut and receives the pass from Player 1.

  1. Player 1 then cuts around Player 2, receives a hand-off from Player 2 and drives it hard to the hoop for the lap-up. If the post defender slides over to help, Player 1 can make an easy pass to 4 for the lay up.

    Option: If the defense prevents the hand-off, then an option is for player 2 to either make a bounce pass or a dump pass--soft lob pass-- to player 1, who then can take it to the hoop.

  1. Option: If Player 1 does not receive the ball, then he moves through and sets a screen for Player 4. Player 2 passes to Player 4 for the lay-up.

There is an easier way to present this play and I used it when I coached AAU 7th grade it got me 12 points respectively from doing it to each side. When I coach at the High School level the older kids tend to pick it up quicker but is still a good play. I wouldn't know how to draw it up on here but the number 5 man is the most important man in the play that I run because the play solely rides on his screen

great! should work for me since i have two big post players and plenty of speed otherwise.

This should also work against a zone. Look at drawing 2 you have an overload situation on the left side. You have 4 offensive players being guarded by 3 defensive players. Depending on how the defense plays the zone either 3 will have 3ptshot if the D3 player goes down to guard O4 or 5 will be left open for the jumper from the free throw line.

good stuff, anybody got any good 1/2 court traps to share.

I'd like to hear Troy Wyant's version of this.... I think there could be more picks involved too and if player one approaches player two slowly then hooks around him fast I think the play becomes far more superior. As always though, the setup for the screen is crucial.

Hey Thomas if you have two big post players and plenty of speed, anything would work.
