Four down
 | 1 Hoop Tactics To call the play, the ballhandler raises his hand and points all four fingers down. The basic option is 1 on 1, the ballhandler kicks or dishes if a defender helps on dribble penetration. 2 and 3 can pop out of the corners to relieve pressure on 1. Lute Olson - 1-4 low - Thumbs down, take advantage of a poor defender or one in foul trouble. As 1 drives, 2 and 3 come up foul-line extended to spread the defence. Larry Brown - run "butter" with 7 seconds or less, a big with the ball would dribble hand-off or pass and ballscreen, they would go 1-4 flat if Iverson had it (the bigs would sometimes screen across), or run a sidescreen or midscreen with someone else. Lionel Hollins - if 1 penetrates on the right side of the lane, 4 clears to the other low post, 5 ducks into the lane behind 1. |
 | 2 Ballscreen option 4 or 5 step out to ballscreen for 1. Option - 4 screens for 5 who ballscreens for 1, or vice versa (see Fist). Variation - 4 runs up to set a high, flat ballscreen (butt to the baseline), 5 relocates opposite the ballhandler. See Offence - Arizona 1-4, Florida pick and roll, Tactics - Using ballscreens (Van Gundy), Ballscreens (Krueger). |
 | 3 |
 | 4 Double screen for 3. Jerry Petitgoue - 3-point Desperation - the best option is 3 on a misdirection dribble, option one (the triple screen) is actually a decoy for the double screen on the other side. |
 | 5 Jerry Petitgoue - Open - the bigs start in the corners and screen in for the wings to pop to the corners. |
