Winning Hoops
 
Team spacing is high and wide, forcing the defence to cover more of the court than they want.

Use guard-to-guard passes in the backcourt to shift the defence, then dribble to invite the trap.

Box - basic 2-1-2 alignment, ready for an odd-front zone, then automatically shift into a 1-3-1 alignment ("13") against a 2-man front.
 
See Press breaks (halfcourt) - Canada Basketball, Atkins, Ashbury, also Zone offence - 2-1-2.
 
Ashbury - 4 holds (does not fill the high post).
 
Atkins - 5 can hold, 4 comes ballside on the baseline.
