Just like a regular NBA drag screen, this early offense action can occur just as a read and doesn't require a call. When running this action out of a Delay alignment, it immediately becomes a Spread P/R, making it a difficult cover in transition with shooters on the perimeter and no defenders in the paint to bump the roll man.

While there is a plethora of calls and reads you can work off of, if you are trying to run Push / C-Game as a motion you may want to limit weak side elbow action to one or two things. In this case we will review RIP, which is a rip screen into a flex look. The 1 hits the 4 at the elbow, then the 5 sets the rip screen for the 1 who cuts to the basket and then sprints opposite to set the flex screen for the 3 in the corner. After receiving the ball at the wing the 4 hits the 5 (big to big) and then sets the down screen on the 1 to complete the flex action. The 5 can hit the 3 on the flex cut, the 1 on the pin down or go DHO with the 1 as well. If he “checks down” and nothing is open DHO with the 2 is also an option. See More

If the 1 puts up a fist this can indicate a 1-4 MPNR. Depending on your roster you can choose to always pop the 4 and dive the 5 across the lane or you can roll the 4 and pop the 5. Either way a kick back to the pop man brings the 2 up for a 2-5 Chase SPNR. See More

If the 1 goes DHO with the 2 Slice Action can take place. That means the 4 will pop out (or set a flare screen to move up top and then pop out). The 2 will immediately reverse the ball to the 4 who will complete the full reversal but hitting the 3 on the wing. The 2 will then “Slice” cut to the strong side block off the screen from the 5. After the cut, the 5 and 4 set a double staggered for the 1 who receives the pass from the 3 at the top of the key. After screening 1, the 4 and 5 complete the wheel action and screen the 2 who peels back off the second double staggered. The 1 then looks to hit the 2 for the shot. See More

If the 1 kicks the ball up the sideline to the 2 we refer to this as pitch, simply because the 1 has pitched the ball ahead. Depending on when the advance pass takes place and your general preference on principles. The 5 can set a UCLA screen for the 1 who cuts through, the 1 can rub screen the 5 who sprints to the SPNR, the 1 can screen away or the 1 can simply cut through to space out, regardless of what you want 1-5 SPNR ensues and subsequently your second side philosophies kick in on a ball reversal.

After hitting the elbow, the 1 fakes sprinting to the split screen and instead chases the DHO from the 5. After taking the HO from the 5, the 1 looks to attack or back it up. The 5 then sets a wide pin for the 2 while the 4 sets a wide pin for the 3. See More

After hitting the elbow man, the 1 again sprints to the split screen. In this look the 2 elects to use the split screen and sprint to the DHO with the 5. As that takes place, the 5 hands the ball off and dives to the basket. The 2 takes the HO and looks to get down hill while the 1 lifts out of the corner. On the weak side the same action ensues with the 4 setting a wide pin for the 3 or with the 4 setting a fade screen. See More

As the 1 selects the side to initiate and the 5 flashes to the elbow, the 1 hits the 5. Tight curl indicates that immediately following the entry pass a split screen takes place. The 1 sprints to the corner to screen the strong side corner guard. In the tight curl read, the 2 curls the screen from the 1 and sprints to the weak side to spot up. The 1 immediately pops back (above the break for spacing, or close the free-throw line extended) and the 5 goes DHO / SPNR /Dribble Pitch with the 1. At the same time as he two man game ensues, the weak side action takes place. If going with the 4 high, a wide pin down for the 3 takes place. If a keeping the 3 high, a fade screen for the 3 works well here (see Washington Wizards, Portland Trailblazers). See More
