Digital Playbook: Phoenix

Directions:

• #1 initiates the action by driving towards either #2 or #3

• Once #1 reaches the player in the corner (in this case #2), they complete a dribble handoff

• After the handoff, the ball handler (#2) receives a ball screen from #5

• The ball handler attacks the rim after the ball screen

• If there is not a chance to score, the ball handler dribbles to the opposite corner and the action starts again

• #4 always sneaks to the opposite block of the direction of the drive

Scoring Options:

1. The ball handler on the drive off the ball screen

2. The ball screener on the screen and pop

3. #4 on the dump down off the drive

Other Teaching Points:

• If the drive is not there, the ball handler should utilize a retreat dribble before completing another handoff

• If the defender guarding the corner player over plays the handoff, look to back door cut
