The best zone play he has ever seen. Run it against a 3-2 or 2-3.

Option (a)

1 passes to 3, 5 flashes high (a decoy), 3 passes back to 1 and cuts through to the block. 1 passes to 2 and moves in line with the elbow.

As soon as 2 bounces it up, 5 double screens with 4, 3 runs off hard as the pass to 1 is in the air.

Option (b)

1 passes to 3 and ballscreens, 5 comes high, 2 goes to the block.

3 comes off the ballscreen all the way across, passes back to 1 stepping out and relocates baseline. 5 double screens as soon as 3 picks up his dribble. 2 comes off when the pass to 1 is in the air, then 5 screens for 4.
 
The Best Zone Play - also use a double stack entry to disguise the play.
