Step 1CHIN begins with a dribble weave on the strongside between the 1 and the 3. 3 takes the handoff and dribbles back to the guard position. On the weakside, the 2 and the 4 exchange. The post fills the strongside elbow.Step 2The 3 and the 4 pass across the top as the 4 passes the ball to the 2 on the wing. COACHES POINT: 3 does not cut off 5 until ball leaves the 4. If the 2 is denied then 4 has the opportunity to dribble at 2 for the backdoor cut. This is the start of the screening action that makes this play successful. 5 sets a backscreen for 3 cutting to the rim for a layup then immediately goes to set a flare screen for the 4. 2 looks for 3 for the layup or the 4 man off the flare screenStep 3If the 2 has no passing options then the ball is dribbled up back to the guard spot. The 1 fills the guard spot to receive the ball. The 4 after the flare cut, finishes the cut to the rim looking for the ball, then fills the wing position vacated by 1. The 3 fills up to the wing spot.Step 4The action continues to the other side as the ball is reversed from the 2 to the 1 to the 4. The 2 makes a weakside UCLA cut off the 5 to the rim looking to score. The continuity continues until a shot is taken or a shift to another phase.Step 55 OUT is the best way to transition to another phase in this offense. 5 OUT is keyed by passing the 5 man who has stepped out at the top of the key to receive the basketball.Step 6The offense is now in a 5 out set.
