Digital Playbook: Spread Flash

Directions:

• Offense is in an 2-1-2 alignment

• When the ball gets passed guard to guard (#1 to #2), the rest of the players on the floor shift

• #4 works the middle, following the ball

• The wings (#5 and #3) work the "pulley system" - when the ball is opposite of you dive to the post and when the ball is on your side lift to the wing

• If the ball is passed to the wing, #4 dives and the opposite wing flashes to the high post

• If the ball is passed to #4 in the low post, the high post man dives to the rim

Scoring Options:

1. Look deep diagonal for a lay-up (i.e. #2 passes to #3 who is at the block)

2. Guard and wings penetrate the gaps making plays

3. #4 receives a pass in the middle - they should look to the rim and then look to the opposite perimeter

Other Teaching Points:

• Spread Flash can be ran in the full court or half court settings

• It is most effective against odd-front zones (i.e. 1-2-2, 1-3-1, 3-2)

• Perimeter players should spot up in the gaps

• Utilize pass fakes as much as possible

• See inside, behind, and through the zone

Adjustments:

• #4 can stay low vs. the zone, posting up the "tail" of the 1-3-1

• #4 can set ball screens on the middle or point of the zone
