5 on 0 primary or secondary break.

Players are in the paint to begin, options to start play are:
- coach scores (Bruce Pearl)
- coach throws a ball off the backboard (Jim Les)
- coach shoots, inbound on a make, outlet on a miss (Roy Williams)
- a big throws the ball off the backboard, 4 or 5 rebounds and is the trailer (Tom Izzo)
- 4 tosses the ball up and rebounds (Ian MacKinnon)
- 1 shoots, inbound or outlet, 5 trails if he rebounds a miss.

Trip options
- up and stay
- up, jog back outside
- up and back
- 3 trips and stay
- 4 trips
- 5 trips, everyone shoots.

Shot options
- layups
- outside shots, one per trip
- drive and kick
- get the ball into 5
- score on each trip (Bruce Pearl, Tom Izzo).

Tom Crean
- coach shoots, outlet or inbound
- 3 trips, stay at the other end
- freelance
- 5, 4, 3 passes, no rules
- fast break plays
- run the break, it's not there, flow into set plays.

George Karl and Doug Moe - players start on the baseline (see 5-man break) and can run any options they want but at full speed, go until one player asks for a time-out because he is out of gas.

Rick Torbett - players circle under the hoop, coach shoots, any player can rebound and push the ball upcourt, other players fill lanes, the ballhandler pretends the fast break fails and stops at any perimeter position, when the wings hit the arc they basket cut and keep going to change sides, and can optionally set backscreens for the two trailers. Go a set number of trips, each trip with specific offensive action, break on misses, inbound on makes.

Lawrence Frank - 5 trips in 24 seconds.
 
Frankston Blues - 3-5 trips with coach calling out the passing sequence before scoring, e.g., 1-2-3 (1 passes ahead to 2 who skips it to 3).
 
Jim Calhoun - 4 trips, two primary breaks (one is a high-low, get the ball into the post), two regular secondaries (get the ball moving).

See Florida five cycles, Izzo 5 on 0, Tar Heels 5 on 0, Bradley 5 on 0, and Tennessee 4 on 0, 5 on 0.

Ian MacKinnon

Go up and back, then the next group goes. All players start in the lane, 4 tosses the ball off the backboard and rebounds. Attacking options include

- fast break to a layup, or two-dribble drive and kick for a perimeter or post touch
- motion, set offence, or secondary break, coach can specify options.

Option - 4 always rebounds.

To work on press offence, start with an inbounds pass or first make a basket, e.g., start with halfcourt motion offence, make five passes and score (or run motion until coach yells "score it"). Option - walk back outside while the next group goes.

Also see Florida five cycles.

a) Halfcourt then fullcourt

Start with a halfcourt attack then go fullcourt.

Bill McNally - keep going, coach calls the play each trip.

Roy Williams - go back and forth running plays that are not calls, then plays that are calls.

b) Halfcourt

Run the secondary break halfcourt at each basket, with 1 and trailer 4 starting at midcourt (option - start with 5 under the rim, 2 and 3 in the deep corners).

Option - 5-man weave baseline to halfcourt, come back on attack.

Ian MacKinnon - 5 on 0 sets at each basket, all players touch halfcourt after scoring.

See Tar Heels 5 on 0 - both groups take turns attacking the same basket.

Mayhem - 5 players start at each basket and run fullcourt at the same time.
