Digital Playbook: Spread Sneak (Half Court)

Directions:

• Offense is in an 1-3-1 alignment

• When the ball is with #1, the two wings (#2 and #3) are both set up high, #4 and #5 are in the middle

• When the ball gets passed to a wing, #1 steps ball side behind the ball, the opposite wing goes deep diagonal, and the runner (#5) sprints to the ball side sideline

• If the ball is reversed back to #1, the players go back to the same 1-3-1 alignment they started in

• If the ball is passed up the sideline to the runner (#5), #4 dives to the rim and the opposite wing flashes

Other Teaching Points:

• Spread Sneak should be used primarily as a press break, but it can be used in the half court setting

• It is most effective against even-front zones (i.e. 2-2-1 or 2-1-2)

• Utilize pass fakes as much as possible

• See inside, behind, and through the zone
