Offence
Break 2

Ian MacKinnon

Break exploits offensive match-ups on the perimeter and inside (with 5). The corner is the perimeter match-up spot. Get into high-low continuity after the initial action, see Offence - High-low.

With Break 2, there is a UCLA screen then flex screen on a wing-entry pass to either side. Also see Break 1 and Break 3.

1) Pass to ballside wing

1 passes to 2 and UCLA cuts using 5, 4 dives, 3 spaces high.

If 2 is denied, 5 backscreens then re-screens to bring him out to the wing, see Break 1.

(Variation - 1 dribble pushes 2 down to the block, exchanging places)

2
When 2 passes to 5 stepping out top, 1 flex cuts to the corner using 4 (1 waits for the pass to 5).

2 could pass to 5 at the elbow and cut for a hand-back, 5 has the option of attacking the basket.

Special - 1 screens across for 4 then 3 downscreens for 1.
 
Kelbick 1-4 high - 1 screens for 4, 2 keeps the ball, 5 downscreens for 1.
 
Kelbick (Basic set) and Larry Brown (UCLA duck-in) - 2 passes to 5 and downscreens for 1, 4 ducks in.

If the ball is swung, 1 meets the pass, 5 dives, 3 spaces weakside, 4 ballscreens.

If 5 skip passes, 1 can

a) shoot or attack the basket (it's a close-out situation),

or b) dribble off the baseline to set up a ballscreen by 4.

If the ball is reversed to 2, 1 and 3 space weakside and 4 comes high into high-low.

3 would cut to the weakside corner if he is the perimeter match-up.

Don't run a hand-off from high-low, the ballside block is occupied.
