5 Out - Off Ball Screens
You can also use off-ball screens in the 5-Out Offense. The main rule here is this: * if the cutter goes to the rim, the screener pops back to the ball * if the cutter stays outside and goes to the ball, the screener rolls to the rim We always want to have a cut to the rim on every play.
5 Out - Ball Screens
The same rules apply to ball screens in the 5-Out Offense. You might give players the option to pass and follow with a ball screen. The roll to the rim acts just like a cut - and each player rotates accordingly.
5 Out - Post Up Actions
There are a few ways to get post up opportunities in the 5-Out offense: * After you basket cut, duck in and seal your defender and try to get a post feed from a teammate * After a dribble at, go backdoor and then duck in and seal your defender

5 Out - Backdoor Cut
If the defense denies the ball reversal, it's an automatic backdoor cut every time. Use the 3 point line as a guide - if the defender crosses the line, you should be going backdoor.

If your teammate dribbles AT you, this is another time that you must go backdoor. Once you go backdoor, the offense goes back into flowing with the previous rules.
5 Out - Pass and Cut
