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.

Phase 1
54321
  • 1 passes to 3
  • Instead of cutting to the rim, 1 screens for 2
  • 2 curls tight to the rim
Phase 2
54321
  • Since 2 curled to the rim, 1 comes back to the ball/rotates to the proper spot
  • 4 and 2 also rotate to the appropriate spots
Phase 3
54321
  • Now, we are back into the 5-Out Offense
  • 3 passes to 5
Phase 4
54321
  • 3 screens away for 1
  • 1 cuts outside and cuts to the ball
  • This means 3 will now cut inside (we always want a rim cut)
Phase 5
54321
  • 3 cuts to the rim
  • 2 and 4 fill their spots
  • 3 fills the next open spot
  • We are back into 5-Out
