5 Out Point Away to Stagger

Air Force begins this possession with the forwards out entry into their 5 out Princeton action. The pass to the wing triggers the away split. The wing throws back to the big at the top of the key and has two options.

  1. He can sprint into the throw and go and play 2 man game with the big
  2. OR as he does in this clip, a stagger screen is set for the offensive player who rejected the split

Here’s a look at the same action when the stagger is covered, and the big flips sides of the floor to play 2 man game with the wing.
