5-Out Open Post Offense Guide

This offense spreads all 5 players around the perimeter. It is designed for teams without strong post players. The key principles are for players without the ball to constantly cut and fill open spaces on the floor. When passing the ball, the passer can then cut to the basket, screen away, cut in and pop out, or screen the ball. Screens are also important, with the screen setter calling out the cutter's name and screening away from the offense. The cutter must read the defense to determine which way to cut off the screen. There are also 4 options outlined for getting the ball into the post when needed.

This is a good offense to use if your team lacks post players, but instead has a number of
good quick guards. See the basic set below. Also, see the Open Post Double-Up Offense and
the 5-Out Zone Offense.

The players are numbered only to show movement from one spot to the next. This offense is
not designed for restrictive positioning. All 5 players must be able to move, pass and catch. For
instance, O5 does not have to be a 3 point threat (although it helps), but he/she must be able
to catch the ball on the perimeter and pass it to the open man.

Rules without the ball


1. If you have an overplay (being denied),
back-cut.

2. If you have an underplay (defender


sagging off), pop out to spread the
defense.

3. Someone dribbling toward you, back-cut


thru and then fill the vacant perimeter spot.
4. Fill the open spot when a teammate cuts
or drives.

5. Dribble penetrate, relocate and fill open


spot.
The most important rule is to keep moving.
If you do not catch a pass with 2 seconds
you need to move on.
When filling spots on the floor move up
and away.

Rules after passing the ball:


After you pass the ball there are four things
you can do:
1. Cut to the basket
2. Screen away
3. Cut in and pop out
4. Screen the ball

Reading screens
It is very important that both the player setting the screen and the player coming off the screen
read the defense.
Rules for setting screens
1. Turn your rear end to the direction that you want the man you are screening for to go.
2. Set your feet solid and protect yourself by extending your arms down and crossing them.
3. Call out the name of the man you are screening for.
4. Screen the defense not the offense. Set your screen 2-3 feet away from your teammate, let
him come to the screen.

Rules for coming off screens


1. Set the screen up by v-cutting or jab-stepping away from the screen and then running back
into it.
2. Rub shoulders with the teammate who is setting the screen, take the defender to the
screen.
3. Read the defense when you come off the screen.

If the defense goes under a screen then


the player coming off the screen should
run off the top.

If the defense follows you around the


screen then the player coming off the
screen should curl. (O1 in this case must
replace himself at the point or O5 should
fill all the way up to the point).

If the defense switches on the screen, then


the man who set the screen should seal
the player he/she screened and come to
the ball.

If the defense overplays the screen then


use a flare move.

Post Entries for the Open Post (5-Out) Motion Offense

Option #1.
Ball side corner flashes to the post when the ball is
passed to the wing. He must wait for the cutter to clear
the post area.
Rule for getting out of the post is to back screen the
wing once the ball leaves. The wing curls around to the
corner if he/she does not get the ball.

Option #2.
Backside corner or wing flashes to the post. (You
might want to specify which one has the freedom to
flash in there to eliminate confusion). Again he must
wait for the cutter to clear.
Rule again is he/she must back screen the way out of
the post. This time the wing (O2) clears to the opposite
corner. Following the rule of "fill the open spot".

Option #3.
Point passes to wing and screens away for weak
side wing or corner. Weak side wing or corner
flashes to the post. The point fills the corner no
matter whom he/she screens for and the other
players fill up.

Again the rule is he/she must back screen the


way out of the post on ball reversal. O2 continues
to the corner.

Option #4.
Point passes to the wing and cuts through the
lane for a post up.

Again he/she must back screen on the way out of


the post on ball reversal.
