4 / 5 Man We use the closest post rule on makes. Which ever post is closest to the ball, will take the ball out of bounds to inbound. The other post becomes the 4 man and sprints to the right side block. The post who took the ball out of bounds becomes the 5 man, and sprints to the left top of key. Left Entry

Cycle Progression Primary Break 5 on 0 1. Get players into groups of 5, positions 1 – 5. 2. Players will 5 cycles. Each trip down the floor counts as 1 cycle. 3. Drill starts by the players running in a circle at the free throw line. 4. The coach shoots a shot and the players get the rebound. If it is a make, the closest post takes the ball out to inbound to the 1. If it is a miss, closest player gets the rebound and outlets to the 1 man. 5. Players then run their designated lanes. 6. As the players run their lanes, the coach or PG call out a number 1 – 5 * If call 1 – PG penetrates for a lay up. Players need to clear and rotate to game spots on penetration. * If call 2 – 1 pitches the ball ahead to the 2 man who can pull up for a jumper or penetrate. The 4 man needs to step up the lane if it is a baseline drive, or step short corner if it is a middle drive. Rebound and finish a missed shot. * If call 3 – 1 pitches the ball ahead to the 3 man who can pull up for a jumper or penetrate. * If call 4 – 1 pitches the ball ahead to either 2 or the 3 who will then dump the ball to the 4 man in the low post.
* If call 5 – 1 pitches the ball ahead to 2 or 3 who looks to the 4 posting up and then hits the 5 man trailing who pulls up for an elbow jumper, or shot fakes and penetrates. Note: We will put a designated time up on the clock for the group to beat. They have to complete 5 made cycles in the designated time. This also works as a great conditioner. Watch for players releasing before the shot is made. 2’s and 3’s need to get out wide early. Secondary Break 5 on 0 1. Basically the same drill as before, except work on the different elements of the secondary break diagrammed above. We wont time this as we want the players focusing on the details, not that we don’t focus on that always. Just be sure that the players run the floor every possession. 2. After a while, start adding some defenders on 1 end of the floor. Typically, I will have an assistant send out a couple of defenders to match up with certain offensive personnel. Eventually, you can send 5 defenders out to match up with the defenders. 3. Run only 5 cycles at a time. Offense rotates to defense, and defense rotates to offense.
