Duke runner (low post)
 | 1 See 1-2-2 match-up situations. Defenders X1-X2-X3 guard 1-3-4, X4-X5 guard 5 and baseline runner 2. X1 takes the ball, - X2 has 4 - X4 has 2 - X3 has 3 - X5 has 5. X4 and X5 will switch (bump) when 2 runs the baseline. Hoop Tactics - the match-up zone defends basket cuts by switching. Here, however, X5 takes and stays with 5, and X4 stays with 2. See Defences - Foster 3-2, Pistons 1-2-2 match-up, Auburn 1-2-2, 10 zone. |
 | 2 a) 1 passes to 4, X4 and X5 pinch the low post, X4 can get out to the corner. X3 sinks. X5 is ballside with matchup 5. |
 | 3 On a pass to the corner, X4 takes away baseline, X5 fronts from the top (or can slide behind 5), X3 covers weakside. Here X2 stays to deny a pass back out. Foster - X2 can deny (facing the ball), plug (gap), or trap. Pistons 1-2-2 - X2 sags to the elbow, bumping X1 (one defender on the ball, four defenders near the paint). |
 | 4 b) 1 passes to 3, 2 runs the baseline, 5 changes sides. |
 | 5 X4 and X5 switch, X5 has 2, X4 has 5. They pinch the post, X5 can get out to the corner. |
 | 6 c) Here runner 2 is weakside, X4 is ballside helping on low post 5 since X5 is defending on the outside (or is fronting). X2 may need to cover a skip pass to 2. See Defence - Foster 3-2, also 1-2-2 vs. 4-out 1-in.  |
