5 Out step 1
Step 15 can dribble to either wing in the 5 Out set. The wing dribbled to can read and go over 5 to shoot the 3, but in this case, the 3 cuts backdoor for the layup as the 1 fills the wing position. The 5 does not dribble far outside of the lane lines extended to keep the spacing.
5 Out step 2
Step 2The High School version of this offense has the 5 man pass to the wing then UCLA cut off of the 3 man to the block. This gets the post back in their familiar position. The 3 man fills the position vacated by the 5 man above the 3 point line. In the high school version, players only have to learn 1 position. Choose a few players to learn the POST position, and let the rest of them play the perimeter positions.
5 Out step 3
Step 3There are two transitions into new phases that can occur at this point. On the DRIBBLE to the top, the play CHIN is keyed. The 4 fills the guard spot, the 2 fills the wing spot, the 3 fills the wing spot, and the 1 has dribbled to the other guard spot to pass the ball guard to guard. The 5 is the post now and is ready to screen at the elbow
5 Out step 4
Step 4Instead of dribbling to the top, the 1 PASSES to the top. This keys POINT and the 3 has three options to run from here. Away, Over, and Under are the 3 options depending on the cut by 3. The 4 fills the wing spot ready to execute POINT
