Line
 | 1 Lee Rose Against fullcourt man pressure. 4 breaks right or left (away from pressure) and sprints to midcourt, 2 breaks opposite 4, 1 breaks opposite 2. Don Meyer - line - 2 and 4 go first, to the same side of the floor, 1 goes opposite to the other side, if denied, 5 sprints up for a catch and looks to go "Iowa State", passing to 1 heading upcourt to attack. |
 | 2 Then 5 breaks towards the ball. 3 is looking for the bomb, but usually X5 is guarding that, which allows 5 to get open. (1 and 2 run wide on an inbounds pass to 5, who can throw back to 3) Canada Basketball Technical Manual - on a pass to 5, 1 and 2 go hard up the wings and 3 trails, 5's options are middle to 4, sideline to 1 or 2 (or take on and dribble middle). For a fast press-break, go over top of the pressure, 4 cuts back for a second vertical pass; for a controlled press-break, 1 goes hard then cuts back for a hand-off from 5, who then runs wide. Bill Self - if 5 (the worst ballhandler) passes to 3 he is out of the play (5 goes long, 1 and 2 come back to the ball). See Press breaks - Xavier (2-up), Bill Self 1-3-1. |
 | 3 The line is also effective on the backcourt sideline. See Inbounds - Sideline Frankston stack (basically the same play). Brendan Malone - 1-2-4-5 form a line across the court (not a stack), 3 calls the name of one player, who fakes toward the baseline then goes long upcourt for a pass. |
 | 4 (Variations) a) Flip-flop 1 and 2 so that 1 cuts first, and does not have to break opposite 4. b) Use the line on the frontcourt sideline. See Inbounds - Sideline Kuchar line-in. |
 | 5 Angle the line if the ball is down near the corner (or up near halfcourt). See Inbounds - Sideline Line, Sideline Fraschilla.  |
