  • Set The Tandem

    X1 stops ball (the sooner the better) and forces to the sideline or corner checkpoint. X2 is in LOW I position anticipating going the first pass.

     

    Helpful Hint:

    Most often the dribbler will pass to the same side they are being forced to dribble towards.

  • Split Tandem

    Do not play side-by-side! Communication is key, one player must stop ball and another must protect the rim

     

    Helpful Hint:

    Offense, when you see a "split tandem" split the tandem with the drive!

  • STAY

    If the pass goes to the wing higher than Free Throw Line Extended (FTLE) X1 stays with the ball.

     

    X2 remains in LOW I

     

    Helpful Hint:

    If the pass goes in front of or to the side of top of tandem = stay

  • ROTATE

    If the pass to the wing goes behind X1 (below FTLE), then X2 closes out on 2, pushing 2 to the baseline checkpoint.

     

    X1 drops quickly to LOW I help position

     

    Helpful Hint:

    "Bottom out, top down."

  • TAKE A CHARGE

    Often the passer will continue on their path to the basket after passing

  • REBOUND AND COUNTER ATTACK

    Don't forget to rebound! Go "bottom out, top down" and secure the backside rebound.

     

    Counter attack! The numbers advantage would be reversed upon a rebound and counter attack.
