A five-step Horns action inspired by a 1-2-2 start, double high screen, and weak-side finish.
A five-step triangle offense entry that forms the strong-side corner, tests the post feed, then flows into a high-post handoff pick-and-roll.
A half-court continuity set that opens with a high-post entry, uses a backdoor cut and stagger screen, then flows into a dribble handoff finish.
A compact box-set zipper action that moves the ball to the wing, lifts a guard to the top, then attacks through a screen with a corner kick option.
A zone-overload sequence against a 3-2 defense that shifts the ball side, tests the short-corner feed, then reverses into a weak-side attack.
A simple two-man action with corner spacing and a rolling screener.
A baseline out-of-bounds box set with a screen-the-screener finish.
A simple press-break alignment with middle flash and sideline outlets.
