Call Thru UCLA Rip when you want to clear the lane with a UCLA-action cut and then use your point guard as a screener to spring a second action. Your 4 dives to the left low post off the UCLA cut, and your 1 turns and sets a screen near the free-throw line to free a teammate coming off the action. You are layering two movements so the defense cannot recover to both the cutter and the screener's target.
