Horns 45 backdoor
 | 1 2 and 3 break up and are overplayed, 1 passes to 4, 2 backcuts, 4 drop steps, 5 screens for 2, 1 replaces 2 on the ballside wing. The backcut is most effective if 2 is above 4 on the catch. Option - against pressure, 1 can dribble chase 2, who loops to the top, if 1 passes to 4 he backcuts, exchanging roles with 2 (Arizona 1-4 offence). Variations - 1 first cuts for a hand-off - 4 fakes a hand-off - 5 just slides down to the low post, without screening for 2 - 4 cuts to get open, and 3 and 5 stagger or double screen for 2, e.g. Tubby Smith 40 series - start in a 1-4 or 4-out 1-in set. Also see Florida 2005 and Spurs 2007 fast breaks, Bill Self High-low motion, Australian women, Arizona high posts and Seth Greenberg Slice offences. |
 | 2 4 can pass to 1 and ballscreen (or dribble hand-off). |
 | 3 Or 4 can dribble hand-off with 3 (or pass and ballscreen). goxavier.com - 4 looks at both 1 and 3. Seth Greenberg - 4 drives at 3 so that 3 has a gap to drive. |
 | 4 Optionally 1 dribbles right to pick a side, only 2 blast cuts, then 5 can downscreen for 3 (see the dribble hand-off play in Defence - Pitt ballscreens). |
