Press breaks
Old Dominion Trap "O"

Use Trap "O" against a soft, containing press where the inbounds pass is not a problem (e.g., 2-2-1).

Against a 2-2-1, centre the ball, take away helpside, but attack the sides first.

5 is the "ghost" under the far basket. 2 and 3 are up the sidelines but not too far. Trigger 4 makes the inbounds pass to 1 then cuts to the centre circle.

The attacking set is like using a 1-3-1 against a 2-3 halfcourt zone.

When 1 dribbles towards the right, 2 swivels up the sideline, 3 swivels back as safety, 5 goes to the other side.

On a pass back to 3, he looks to zip it up the sideline to 5, 2 and 4 break as the ball is in the air looking for layups, 1 sneaks behind for a 3-point shot.

The result is four-around-one, with 4 inside.
