  • Classic Princeton Offense alignment with 1 advancing the ball with inside hand.

     

    2 must cut behind his/her defender and in front of the center (5). This creates a bit of traffic that helps enter the ball to 5

  • 1 enters to 5

     

    3 drops to corner

  • Based on how they are being defended Player 1 has the options of cutting over, middle or screening away

  • X1 takes away the "over" cut

    1 cuts middle

    5 may be able to hit 1 on back door

  • With no backdoor available, 1 continues cutting and exits the lane off pin screen from 3

     

    1 may be able to catch and shoot by fading to corner

  • 1 may also continue to cut and take DHO from 5
