Tight Curl — frame 1 diagram
C passes to 1

Run Tight Curl when you need your point guard to receive a clean entry from the center off a curl action. Your C delivers the pass to 1, and the curl timing is the entire play — you are attacking the top of the key before the defense can set after a call. Keep it in your ATO package when you need the ball in your primary ball handler's hands immediately.
