4) 1-2-5 series

(Mads Olesen - 1-2 quick, 2 drives middle or baseline)

a) Backdoor

1 drives drops 2, 2 backcuts and clears, 5 tees up (shown) or ducks in.

Calipari - if 2 backcuts and clears, 5 ducks in, look for a give and go with 1.

Kentucky - if 2 backcuts (a drop) he keeps going, 5 ducks in, look for a give and go with 1. They don't dive anybody on a post entry, they want 5 to play.

Petitgoue - 5 moves up to the weakside elbow if he sees a backdoor cut by 2.

Matt Bollant - black action - 2 backcuts, 5 comes high (weakside elbow), 4 comes right off 1's butt for a hand-off.

Olesen - 1's first look is a backdoor for 2. 5 takes one step up the lane getting ready to clear out if 2 back cuts (if X5 sinks in to take away the back cut, 5 can duck in hard). If 2 does not get a pass, he goes out to the 3-corner, 5 now steps hard high, 1 hits 5, does a give and go cut, if that is not open, you have a clear out for 5.

Walberg - if 1 can't get to the rack zone, stop in the drop zone, looking for 2 to go backdoor. 1 jump stops, ball fakes, 2 takes one step up, yells "ball", shows both hands, and cuts through hard. 5 tees up to the opposite elbow when 1 stops in the drop zone, 2 stays in the corner until he sees that 1 has picked up his dribble. If 2 isn't open he goes out the other side, 1 looks to pass to 5 for a give and go, then clear out (follow 2) if there is no return pass.

See Layups - Petitgoue dribble-drive, Post play - Calipari dribble-drive, Offence - Bollant dribble-drive.

b) Kickup

1-2 kickup, 2 drives middle, 5 relocates.

Bollant - 5 relocates when 2 gets to the elbow, looking for a bounce pass (not earlier, 2 could crossover and go baseline).

sketch

c) Throwback

After the 1-2 kickup, 2 takes one dribble middle, throws it back to 1 in the corner and cuts through, 5 comes across and posts (Calipari).

Rotation - 2 rebounds, 1 stays in the corner.

Calipari - throwing the ball back to the guy who started it is an automatic post-up. After 1 drives the elbow, passes to 2 and cuts to the corner, 2 drives middle, makes a pullback dribble, throws it back to 1, 5 comes under, 2 cuts through, giving 1 room to drive middle.

sketch

d) Skip pass

1 drives middle to drop (or drag) 3, 5 relocates, 2 drags up for a skip pass, 5 posts.
 
Option - corner skip pass from the drop zone.up

d) Skip pass

1 drives to drop (or drag) 2, 5 cleans up, skip pass to 3, 5 posts up (shown).

Calipari - 1 drives to the elbow, skips it over the top to 3, 5 posts. 1 looks at X3, if he's sagging, throw it to 3, 5 buries his man inside. X5 is helping on the drive if 1 is going hard.

Walberg - if X5 helps on 1 and X3 helps on 5, 1 skips to 3, 5 posts.

Bollant - drop 2 jump stop, skip pass to 3, 5 posts, 1 cuts to the ballside corner (duck in on any skip pass).

Kentucky - pitch - 1 drives to the nail, 4 runs across, 5 relocates, 1 pitches it back when 4 gets even with him, 1 replaces 4 (general rule - replace whoever you pass it to). If X4 sags, 1 drives it right at him. Any switch on a pitch is an automatic kickback and post - 4 throws it back to 1, 5 ducks in.

Calipari - 5 ducks in on a kickback (throwback) pass across the top.
