How to coach and teach Jack Hartman’s T-Game basketball offense - Part 3 continued

Let us assume that none of the options previously described are exercised. Instead #4 passes to #2. Although an alert defense will not usually overplay #2 when #4 has the ball and his dribble is alive, the offense should be prepared for such an opportunity. If this occurs, #4 drives to the middle and #3 could screen for him. #4, #3, and #5 could play three-against-three, which would lend itself to many scoring opportunities. Should #4 pass back out to #2, two more scoring options are set in motion.

	Fourth Scoring Option: #2 passes to #3 at the high post. #5 is attempting to get good position at the low post. He takes a step in the lane and looks for a pass from #3. #3 could also pass to #1.
	Fifth Scoring Option: This is especially effective against a zone defense. #2 makes a penetrating dribble to the middle. #1 floats to the weak side. #3, seeing the dribble, sets a screen for #2 and rolls to the basket.
