How the play works

  1. 1Set up in the flex: two at the top, one on each block, one in the corner.
  2. 2Reverse the ball; the weak-side block screens across for the corner player's flex cut.
  3. 3The passer at the top then gets a down screen from the other guard.
  4. 4Everyone has filled a new spot — reverse again and repeat.

Coaching points

  • Flex cutter: go low off the screen, show your hands
  • Down screen right after the flex screen
  • Be patient — the shot comes from the second or third cut
