2.1.6 Motion Offence – 5 Out – Dribble Entry
Shallow Cut
Rather than passing the ball, a “dribble entry” can be used, where the ball is dribbled to the wing. The player that is dribbled at moves. They can simply replace the dribbler – a shallow cut.
Basket Cut
The player dribbled at can also cut to the basket and other players move to fill the spaces on the perimeter.
Hand-off
Players can also interchange with a dribble hand-off. The dribbler, should come to a jump stop (one count) and hold the ball in two hands – on top and underneath the ball.
The wing player runs past to take the ball and immediately starts to dribble. They should aim to penetrate to the elbow.
