Break 3
 | 1 Ian MacKinnon Break exploits offensive match-ups on the perimeter and inside (with 5). The corner is the perimeter match-up spot. Get into high-low continuity after the initial action, see Offence - High-low basics. With Break 3, 5 UCLA screens then ballscreens on a wing-entry pass to either side. Also see Offences - Break 1, Break 2, and European (play 6). a) Pass to ballside wing 1 passes to the ballside wing and UCLA cuts to the low post. Option - Break 3 is automatic if 1 brings the ball up the left and passes to 3. |
 | 2 5 picks and rolls, 1 fills behind the ballhandler. Special - 5 pops, 1 backscreens for 5. (Variations) - 5 downscreens for 1 - 1 can UCLA cut to the weakside corner, see Offence - Georgia motion, Fast breaks - Versoix specials (Triangle), and Horns 23 triangle. Germany - instead of the pick and roll, 5 can pin down for 1 who zipper cuts out top then 5 posts up. |
 | 3 If 3 throws back to 1, get into high-low offence. Options on a pass back to 1 (see Bill Self ballscreen offence) - a three-point shot - post feed 5 (if 5 then kicks the ball out, he chases the pass to ballscreen) - if 5 is fronted, hit 4 for a high-low pass (if 4 can't make the pass, reverse the ball to 2 and ballscreen) - 1 waits for 4 to pick and pop (4 can feed 5). |
 | 4 b) Ball reversal 1 reverses the ball to 4, who passes to 3, UCLA cuts, and fills behind on the ballscreen. |
 | 5 5 backscreens for 4 on a pass to 2. |
 | 6 Get into high-low on a pass to 1, with the inside match-up at the low post. |
 | 7 Denial options If 2 is denied, a) 5 backscreens then re-screens to get him open on the wing, b) 1 dribble entries with a hand-off to 2, c) 1 dribble pushes 2 to the block, exchanging positions. If 4 is denied, run Dive. If 3 is denied, options are the same as when 2 is denied, e.g., 5 backscreens then re-screens (shown). See Break 1. |
