Syracuse 3-out 2-in
 | 1 Jim Boeheim Set plays, not motion. One (shot for 1) 1 passes to 2, cuts to the middle of the lane, can use 5's single screen or the double screen by 4 and 3. 2 dribbles middle. See Tubby Smith motion. |
 | 2 On a pass to 1, 4 and 3 double screen for 5, 2 clears weakside. |
 | 3 If 5 reverses the ball to 2 he downscreens for 4. |
 | 4 Two (shot for 2) 2 uses 5's backscreen and the double screen by 4 and 3. 2 will curl (his defender chases) or fade. On the pass to 2, 1 goes through. If you really want a shot for 2 and don't get it, he can pass back to 1 and double back again using the screens (do the same on One as well). Nobody else shoots unless it's a layup. |
 | 5 Thumb's up - 4 ballscreens for 2, who has to fake baseline. "Three" is the same play for 3. |
 | 6 Shuffle cut Get the ball inside. 1 passes to 2, shuffle cuts off 5's backscreen then 5 steps out. |
 | 7 4 ducks in on a pass to 5, 2 downscreens for 1. |
 | 8 If the defence takes away the pass to 4, 5 passes to 3, 4 seals, 5 downscreens for 2 (keep defenders busy). |
 | 9 Optionally start the offence with downscreens to get 2 and 3 open. |
 | 10 53 5 screens for 3. 1 passes to 2, 4 backscreens for 3 (e.g., Carmelo Antony), 5 screens in the middle of the lane, 3 goes hard to the ballside block, 5 comes up. Feed the post with a shooter so they don't double. If they do double, 5 and 4 go to the basket. |
 | 11 If there's no shot, reverse the ball to other side, 4 screens again for 3. |
 | 12 On a pass to 3, 4 comes up, 5 goes down. 1 can stay or exchange with 2. Run a play until the defence stops it. |
 | 13 54 1 passes to 2, 5 screens for 4 then comes high. |
 | 14 Corner 1 passes to 3, cuts to the ballside corner, 5 (the best player) comes high, turns and faces on a pass from 3. |
 | 15 5 looks to attack the basket, or can pass to 2 and ballscreen, or dribble hand-off. |
 | 16 Double Fist 4 and 5 ballscreen for 1, 2 backscreens for 4 rolling. |
 | 17 5 downscreens for 2. See Tubby Smith 44. |
 | 18 X play Get into the same play quicker from a box set, without the ballscreens. 1 dribbles hard to the wing, 2 backscreens for 4, 5 downscreens for 2. 5 can then go screen for 3, he's back in the post. Don't stand still when there isn't a shot. |
