Three deep
 | 1 See 1-2-2 vs Two-guard runner. The attacking set is two guards, two low posts, and a baseline runner. Two defenders guard 1 and 3, three defenders guard the three low attackers, bumping on the baseline. With X1 on the ball, the zone has a 1-2-2 shape, - X2 has 2 - X4 has 4 - X3 has 3 - X5 has weakside 5. Variation - X2 picks up the ball on the left, bumping everyone else clockwise. |
 | 2 On a pass to 2, X2 closes out (taking away baseline), X1 drops to cover the high post, X3 sinks weakside. X4 can front 4 from the top (slide in front), or play behind. |
 | 3 If 5 flashes to the ballside high post, X5 comes ballside, X3 sinks even more. See 1-2-2 vs. Two-guard runner, Zone motion. |

 | 5 With X3 on the ball, - X5 has 2 - X1 has 1 - X2 has 4 (and is low) - X4 has 5, and comes ballside. Tubby Smith - if the attacking team plays with two low posts and a baseline runner, the 1-2-2 becomes almost a 2-3. |
 | 6 X5 closes out on a pass to 2, since X1 is covering the high post, X3 can deny a return pass. |
 | 7 A weakside flash creates an overload, X1 takes 4, X2 stays and takes 1. If X2 comes with 4, there is no help in the lane.  |
