About This Play/Drill

Tbis is a set play run by the Pittsburg Panthers in their pre-season game against Slippery Rock. It is a low stack action utilizing the side PNR.

What makes this play so effective is the slip action by the 4 man and the 5 coming right in behind setting a good ball screen.

With 5 rolling to the basket, x4's defender is forced to help leaving 4 wide open in the corner for the throwback pass and subsequent open 3 pt shot.

Jamie Dixon does a good job with his offensive sets and this play is an effective way to read the defense and take advantage of a help situation.
