When a play drives all players rotate to fill the spots

This is an adaptation of principles from the Princeton Point Offense into 5-Out Offense

Here's one way to convert the Dribble Drive Offense into 5-Out Principles.

5 Out Flares uses flare screens (and slips) on both sides of the floor to spring players open.

5 Out Stagger is a simple double screen set out of the 5-Out alignment

5 Out Flex is a quick hitter to get flex action out of 5-Out.

You can also use off-ball screens in the 5-Out Offense. The main rule here is this: * if the cutter goes to the rim, the screener pops back to the ball * if the cutter stays outside and goes to the ball, the screener rolls to the rim We always want to have a cut to the rim on every play.

The same rules apply to ball screens in the 5-Out Offense. You might give players the option to pass and follow with a ball screen. The roll to the rim acts just like a cut - and each player rotates accordingly.

There are a few ways to get post up opportunities in the 5-Out offense: * After you basket cut, duck in and seal your defender and try to get a post feed from a teammate * After a dribble at, go backdoor and then duck in and seal your defender

If the defense denies the ball reversal, it's an automatic backdoor cut every time. Use the 3 point line as a guide - if the defender crosses the line, you should be going backdoor.

If your teammate dribbles AT you, this is another time that you must go backdoor. Once you go backdoor, the offense goes back into flowing with the previous rules.

"Pass and Cut" is the simplest concept of the 5-Out Offense. Every time you pass, you must cut to the rim. After the pass, the other 5 players rotate to the closest available spot on the floor.
