Tubby Smith early offence
 | 1 Tubby Smith In transition, flatten the defence, 2 and 3 run to the corners, 5 to the front of the rim. If X5 is playing outside 5, 1 looks to reverse the floor with a pass or dribble, 5 seals. Chase 1 passes to 4. As 4 passes to 2, 3 touches the block then backscreens for 4, who takes a step towards the ball then goes by shoulder to shoulder looking for an overhead pass to the front of the rim. 5 posts up when 1 has the ball, then chases the ball as it is reversed, look for a hi-lo pass.. Options - to start, 1 passes to 3 who skip passes to 4 or 2 (moving up on the weakside wing), or 1 skip passes to 2. |
 | 2 When the ball is reversed to 1, 4 posts up then screens across for 5 (Laker screen). |
 | 3 Drag 3 and 4 are denied, 1 takes the ball low, calls for a ballscreen with a pat on his head. 5 goes across, 3 backscreens for a lob pass to 4. |
 | 4 If 1 passes to 3, 4 posts up then screens across for 5. |
 | 5 Dive 4 is overplayed, 1 dribbles at him, 4 dives to the rim, 1 passes to 3 moving to the pass, 5 ballscreens, 2 moves in. Use Dive and Drag against overplay. See Larry Brown Dive. |
 | 6 1 spaces out, 3 tries to get the ball to the middle of the floor. 2 cross screens for 4, 5 pins down for 2. See Larry Brown Get. |
 | 7 Swing 1 passes to 4 who passes to 2 and follows to pick and roll. 5 moves up to about the elbow, 1 and 5 stagger screen for 3, who comes off as 2 comes off the pick and roll. The big is the last screener in a stagger. Always take two dribbles off a ballscreen. |
 | 8 Fist 1 passes to 2 and cuts to the ballside corner. 2 passes to 4. |
 | 9 When 4 passes to 3, 2 shuffle cuts off 5, then 5 and 4 stagger screen for 1. 4 or 5 can slip the screen if their defender hedges on the cutter. If 3 is denied, 4 can dribble at him for a backcut. |
 | 10 Through 1 passes to 2, cuts to the weakside block, 3 moves up. When 2 passes to 4, 1 breaks to the wing, 3 screens for 5. |
