Press breaks

There isn't a press until there's a trap. If you want to score against pressure, pass up the side, look for layups (compress the defence, get rebounders in place), then shoot the 3. You will also have transition defence. Running after made baskets will stop a lot of pressure.

4 is the inbounds passer ("trigger"), his skill development is important - passing, dribbling, shooting the 3. Alternatively use 3 to inbounds.

Situationally (leading late game), use 1 as trigger except on spot inbounds, he can run the baseline, get it in, and get it back.

Most defences load the right corner with their best defenders, so teach 4 to run the baseline (don't inbounds under the basket).

With the regular press breaker, 3 and 5 are at halfcourt, 1 and 2 screen for each other.

On an inbounds pass to one guard, the other breaks middle, 4 is the return (safety) in a 2-1-2 set.

If 1 and 2 are face-guarded they break back all the way to the baseline, 3 comes flying into the middle for the inbounds pass then makes an overhead pass to 1. Don't let 3 dribble.
