If the 1 pushes the 4 into a wide pin down, push action ensues. The 3 tight curls the 4, the 4 then pops back to the elbow and the 1 chases a DHO. If the HO is not there the 5 screens away for the 2 and the 4 goes DHO with the 2 at the opposite elbow. 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

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

1 dribbles to the right wing and gives the ball to 2 on a dribble hand-off. 4 sets a down-screen for 3 who cuts to the slot looking for the ball. Once 3 has it, 1 cuts along the baseline off of a staggered screen from 5 and 4. See More

A DHO entry to Floppy will most likely be on the wing Guard to Guard. This means the point guard would speed dribble pitch the ball to the corner wing coming up. The wing will now become the point of initiation and the point guard will be come the activated player. This look most likely proceeds to be a back screening action by the strong side big. The popular version employed by the San Antonio Spurs involves a guard-to-guard DHO and a triple staggered baseline screen for Tony Parker who sprints the base line to find the scoring option on the weak side. Important to not the weak side wing must be the second screener I order to prevent a switch on the final screen, thus negating any type of advantage or open shot. Once the defense gets use to the triple baseline screen, Tony Parker will often times enter and exit the same side, thus showing us a DHO into a traditional Floppy Look. See More

A set that Brad Stevens runs after time outs and at the end of games is "Flip Flare." This set is designed to create action before a flare screen for a stretch 4 like Jared Sullinger or Kelly Olynyk. After setting a down screen and then opening up to the ball, the 4 man flips it back to 1, this is especially effective against teams that ICE ballscreens, as his defender will be below the flare screen. After he flips it this is when the other big sets flare screen, looking for a quick hitter. See More

Here is a set play ran by Tommy Amaker at Harvard. A slashing wing/guard would be ideal in the "3" spot in this diagram, with your best shooter as your "2" to force the defense to make a choice to take away the drive (and leave an open shot for 2 in the corner) or put a lot of pressure on 3's defender to keep him from getting to the rim in isolation after coming off the ball screen from 4.
