Izzo 1-3-1 special
 | 1 Tom Izzo They usually start in a 1-2-2 then flash a big high to get into a 1-3-1 quickly. Never have the point guard and the high post in a tandem. 1 brings up the ball so that he is covered by X1, hopefully 2 is low enough that a bottom defender has to cover him on a pass. |
 | 2 Against a 2-3 a) Special for the point guard 1 pats his chest, passes to 2 then runs downs to post up, 2 takes a dribble down. |
 | 3 4 and 3 pop up lane extended, the ball is reversed to 1 running the baseline using 5, who then steps into the middle defender (step through with the bottom foot, not reverse pivot on the top foot). If the bottom defender goes over the top to get out on 1, 3 knows he is passing into 5. If the middle defender comes up, look for a lob to 5. If 3 passes to 1 and a defender recovers, 5 posts up looking for a pass from 1. |
 | 4 b) Special for 4 (a shooter) 1 passes to 2 and steps away, 4 comes down. |
 | 5 2 looks into 4, it's not there, 1 and 3 rotate over, the ball is reversed to 4 who uses 5. |
