When the point guard/trigger man player 1 yells out "1", 5 now flashes to the free throw line to receive a pass from 1. 4 then makes a quick fake and then a hard back cut towards the basket looking for the back door pass from 5.
If 5 cannot get the pass to 4, 4 shoots out to set a back screen for 3. 3 then v-cuts around the screen and flashes across the lane looking for a pass from 5 and a possible lay up. If 3 does not get the pass, he continues on to the weak side.
Player 5 has the option to either look for a possible pick and roll with 4, take the shot, drive to the basket or pass out to 3 who will then call the next play.
Man to Man Offense: Play "14"
When the point guard, player 1 calls for play "14", this is the starting positions for this play. The man to man offense play begins when 1 yells "go".
When "go" is called players 2 and 3 shoot out to their respective sideline positions. 4 and 5 will go out to their respective high post elbow, both looking for the pass from 1. The 1-4 alignment is now created.
If 1 does not have a pass to 4 or 5, he can pass out to 2 or 3, who are looking for the pass.
After passing to 2, 1 will now cut down, use 4 as a screen and flash to the basket, looking for a pass from 2. If no pass is there 1 continues out to the right side wing position. Meanwhile 3 has moved over to the top of center position.
4 will now slide over to screen 5's defender. This allows 5 to cut to the basket for a pass from 2 and a possible lay up. If 5 doesn't get the ball he clears the lane to the low post opposite the ball.
Once 5 has cleared the lane, 4 then cuts to the basket for a pass from 2 and a possible lay up. If there is no pass 4 clears to the low post on the ball side. 2 will then pass to 3 at the top to reset the man to man offense.
Man to Man Offense: Play "Circle"
As the point guard, player 1, dribbles out to the right wing position, player 2 circles around to the top of center position.
When 1 and 2 have reached their positions, 4 moves across the lane to screen 5's defender. 5 then slants to the ball side high post and positions for a back screen for player 2.
Player 2 cuts hard toward the basket around 5's screen, looking for the pass from 1 and a possible open shot. 5 must also be ready for a pass.
Player 1 can also pass it in to 5 at the high post who will then pass down to 2 for the easy shot(high-low) or 5 can slide out looking for the reversal. 3 will also slide over looking for the reversal.
3 receives the reversal from 5, passes to 2 cutting off a screen from 4. 2 looks for the baseline jumper. If not there then passes to a waiting 4 for a closer shot.
Man to Man Offense: Play "Amber"
As player 1(point guard) comes down court, he commits to one side, he then passes to player 2 who is lined up at foul line level along with players 5 and 3.
Once the pass is made to 2, 4, who is trailing 1, cuts towards the strong side low post position. He looks for the pass and a posible lay up. 5 steps out to set a screen for 4. 3 drops down to the weak side corner.
If 4 does not get the pass, he posts up for a couple of seconds then slides out the strong side corner. Meanwhile after 5 sets a screen for 4 he immediately turns around and drops down to set a staggered double screen along with player 1 for player 3. 3 curls around both screen and cuts to the basket.
If there is no pass, 3 continues through the curl all the way out to his original position. 1 will slide across from his screen position looking for a pass then to the top point guard position. 5 also slides across the lane looking for the pass. If there is none he moves to the strong side high post position.
With no other options available, 2 reverses the ball to 1 and 1 reverses to 3.
5 goes out to set a back screen for 2 who will now cut across to the strong side corner. 3, now the trigger man, will call the next play.
