Today's Play of the Day comes from Championship Productions' DVD, All Access Duke Basketball Practice with Mike Krzyzewski.  If you need an under the basket play, learn how the Duke Basketball Staff implements "Line 5."  "Line 5" is a great short second play that provides a couple of options to get an easy basket or draw a foul.  Watch the following video to see how the play is set-up and the responsibility of each player.

  • 1 inbounds, 3 releases as safety, 4 cuts to corner and calls for ball. 5 starts toward the ball then wheels around 2's back screen for the lob.

  • If the lob is not there because 2's defender (x2) helps on the lob, 1 fakes the lob to 5 and inbounds to 2 for an easy layup.
