Run Middle Secondary in transition when your guard is pushing the middle and your wings are sprinting the lanes to give you early offense options. Your one drives downhill while your two and five crash from each side to threaten the paint and perimeter simultaneously. Use it to capitalize on defensive mismatches before the opponent can set up their half-court D.
