Pistons innings
 | 1 Flip Saunders 4 on 4 from a 3-out, 1-in set. Perimeter attackers cannot dribble or move, and can shoot only on a pass from the low-post attacker, who can move block to block and score at any time. Normal scoring for the attackers (shots are 2 or 3 points). Defenders do not deny passes around the perimeter, and get a point each time they trap the low post. Each team gets one possession per "inning", play six innings. Post trap situations a) 1X - the guy on the ball traps (here it would be X3) b) 2X - the second guy off the ball traps (85% of the time a defender at the elbow) c) 3X - the third guy away from the ball traps, e.g., Kevin Garnett, more of a designated trap. Here on a 2X trap, X1 sprints from the elbow to the top leg of post defender X5, hands up, and locks his leg, X5 takes away baseline, don't let 5 see the weakside. X3 denies a return pass to 3. |
 | 2 The player who goes to trap always rotates out. X2 takes first pass to 2 or 1, on a pass to 2 everyone chases back to their own (on a pass from 5 to 1, X1 would take 2). Ian MacKinnon - 3 on 3, live on a post entry, which the defence does not have to allow. |
 | 3 5-on-5 post traps Zone any trap, in 5-on-5 the other two defenders from an i. On a pass from 5 to 3, 2 or 4, everyone chases back to their own, on a pass to 1, shown, the top of the i takes the pass, the bottom of the i has the next weakside attacker, and trapper X1 takes the weakside corner. The top of the i tries to steal a pass (and has first pass to 1 or 2). Byron Scott - Post Help and Recover - X1 goes opposite the ball. Jeff Lebo - Doubling the Post - they double down from the top. Jeff Van Gundy - X action can be used when a perimeter player is double-teaming the ball in the low post and a skip pass is made. If X1 will have trouble closing out on 1 if 5 passes to 2, X3 takes 1 and X1 takes 3 (x-action by X1 and X3). See Defending - Woodley post, 5 on 5 shell double down, Defence - Gap basics. |
