3 on 3 delay (teams)
 | 1 Usually 12 players (or more), 2 teams. 1-2-3 attack X1-X2, remaining players are on the sidelines. When the ball crosses centre, X3 runs to get a foot into the centre circle then defends. Variation - X3 comes on when all attackers cross centre (Ian MacKinnon) - X3 comes on only when team O shoots, he can help rebound and defend on a miss. Herb Brown - team O starts with two defenders in a tandem at their end of the court. |
 | 2 On a stop or score, X1-X2-X3 attack against 4-5, who can come onto the court only on the change of possession. When the ball crosses centre 6 runs into the centre circle then defends. 1-2-3 leave the court and go to the sideline. Variations - defenders 4-5 come on the court as the ball crosses halfcourt going the other way (optionally running through the centre circle, see Transition - 2 on 1 outlet) - for basic 3 on 3 without a delay defender, defenders 4-5-6 all come on the court at the same time. Marquette - UCLA transition - 4 and 5 come on to defend the next attack as the ball crosses halfcourt going the other way, but go to the centre circle and wait until team X gets possession then sprint back. Option - 1-2-3 can play defence until halfcourt after a miss or make. breakthroughbasketball.com - 1-2-3 can press to steal the ball and score again. Jamie Dixon - players choose the teams, play to 7, best of 3, losers run. The trailing defender takes the top attacker. With only five players on a team, the top attacker would run back on defence. Ian Mackinnon - if a team has only five players, on a stop or score coach calls the name of a player who must touch the offensive baseline then defend. Progressions - 2 on 1 with outlet - 2 on 2 delay (2 on 1 plus delay defender) - with pressing but only to about 1/3 court, not halfcourt (find a line on the floor) - 3 on 2 outlet - 3 on 3 delay - add pressing. Options - one shot only - for each turnover, lose a point or run an up and back at the end. Variation - with five players, the last attacker to touch the ball touches the offensive baseline then gets back to defend, see Transition - 4 on 4 recover. See Transition - 3 on 2 outlet (teams). |
