Hi Emad,

AFter the pass is made to the corner, their job is to find an open spot in the zone for a pass.

that all sounds good,

I would also look at 4 flashing to high post for a hi-low option or have 5 drop into short corner.

5 should pin down on the outside zone defender as 1 cuts through to the corner. It will more easily free 1 for the three. If the defender fights over the pick, 1 can dump down to 5 who should then be moving tward the basket. 4 should be flashing across the lane to occupy their middle defender. This will open 5 up for that dump pass. This is a nice play with a lot of good options.

Used this play last year with great effectiveness. It doesn't hurt to have a post player in the 8th great at 5'10" either

why the play should start with the player at the top but not at the left?

Having the 4-man flash ball side is a nice twist once they take away the 5-man option. Spacing and always being a threat helps keep the zone honest. Thanks for all the information!

The five and four men are really decoys. but when the ball gets to the corner the five man cant get open so the four man steps across the defender and seals there for a skip pass. I play high school ball and thats what we do so just putting suggestions in the pot.

I like it especially since being a 1 myself I get to take the shot

This play indicates "Personnel - You'll want Player 2 to be your best 3 point shooter ...." yet is designed to give player 1 the 3-point shot. Is that a typo?

Like

Yep, that was a mistake. We fixed the error. Thanks for pointing it out!

All the comments regarding movement of the 4&5 in this play have validity in getting those bigs open by overloading the zone, however it is important to think about rebounding when running plays. If the final shot look is for the 1 to shoot a three point shot, you NEED 4 on the weak side. The last thing you need is four players on the strong side with the point being safety and then shoot a deep corner three. On the miss, most likely rebounded weak side will allow the defense to transition for an easy lay-up.
Also, this is only the last option in the offense. Use basic motion too. If 1 passes to 4 instead of the reversal, he still has the same cut off the post. Or the first reversal pass to 2 may have a drive into the lane and dish to bigs, etc.
If you want bigs to move in this alignment, try 5 high post, 4 very low (back board level). Then when the pass goes from 2-3, have 5 dive to post up low and 4 lift to the elbow. 4 will be open behind the zone (along with 5 posting etc), but also 4 can watch the ball on 1's shot and get into a good rebounding position behind the zone. I hope this helps

I don't like it very much, for the first three passages three players aren't involved in the game.
