4 Out - Opposite Block Options
- If you’re using this option, the post player is always moving block to block depending on where the ball is located. This is a good option if you don’t have a super skilled post presence or a player who is more skilled at going and grabbing offensive rebounds than being thrown to in the post.
- The main roles of this player is to:
- Be on the opposite side of the ball so if his defender helps, penetrating guards can pass to him for a layup
- Clean up all offensive rebounds on the weakside
- This player can also be a screener, but will mostly be positioned near the block opposite the ball.
- If the ball is dribble or passed from one side to the other, this player will simply cut behind the rim with their butt to the baseline to the other side
- What’s also nice about this option is that it makes cutting and screening on the ballside more effective since there is more space without a player standing on the block.
Phase 1
- 1 passes to 2
- As soon as the ball changes sides, 5 goes behind the rim and to the opposite ballside block
Phase 2
- 2 drives to the rim
- 1, 3, and 4 circle move in the direction of the drive
- 5 cuts to the opposite block
