How the play works

  1. 11 inbounds from the baseline; 2, 3, 4 and 5 stack in a line on the near block.
  2. 2On the slap: 2 to the corner, 3 to the top, 5 seals to the rim, 4 holds the screen.
  3. 3Inbound to whoever is open — the rim first, corner second, top as the safety.

Coaching points

  • Everyone moves on the inbounder's slap
  • Seal your defender with your back
  • Safety at the top keeps the ball moving if nothing is open
