Trey / Six

  • Trey is the right side; Six is the same action on the left.
  • 1, 2 and 3 work the ball side; 4 and 5 hold the weak side.
  • 3 runs ahead, then button-hooks back toward the ball.

**Options **

  1. Give -- 1 passes to 3 and follows. 3 hands it back into 1's stomach like a football handoff. 1 attacks.
  2. Keep -- 1 passes to 3 and follows. 3 foot-fakes toward 1, keeps it, turns and attacks the middle.
  3. Point -- pick and replace. 3 points at the feet of 1's defender, sets the ball screen, then replaces the spot 1 came from.
  4. Side Fist -- fake screen and replace. 3 approaches like a screen, sprints past and replaces. 1 attacks any opening; if none, 1 hook-passes back to 3.
  5. Big Fist -- fake screen, dribble-at, backdoor. 3 shows the screen, 1 dribbles at 3, 3 cuts backdoor, 1 throws over the top.
  6. Tail -- pass back, alley-oop, then a three.
    • 1 passes back to 2, the trailer.
    • 3 sets the alley-oop screen for 1. 2 looks for 1 at the rim.
    • If the lob is not there, 2 passes to 3.
    • 2 sets the pin-down for 1 immediately after the pass.
    • 1 comes to the top of the circle for the three.
