Reverse Action Entries
Reverse Action does not rely on a single entry pass which makes it very difficult to disrupt. Any pass and/or dribble can initiate the Reverse Action continuity. Although team personnel will favor certain entries, the defense deployment will ultimately dictate which entry to use.
Weakside Entry:
Left Side Entry: Ballhandler O1 feeds O4 stepping out initiating guard around action. If/when a shot is not available off the guard around action, O3 looks to pass to O4 coming of O5's weakside screen. |
Right Side Entry: Ballhandler O1 feeds O3 stepping out initiating guard around action. If/when a shot is not available off the guard around action, O4 looks to pass to O3 coming of O5's weakside screen. |
Strongside Entry:
Left Side Entry: Ballhandler O1 passes to O4 and executes a guard around cut initiating sideline triangle action. If a shot is not available, O4 makes a reversal pass out to O2 initiating reverse action continuity. |
Right Side Entry: Ballhandler O1 passes to O3 and executes a guard around cut initiating sideline triangle action. If a shot is not available, O3 makes a reversal pass out to O2 initiating reverse action continuity. |
Dribble Clear Entry:
Back Cut: When defender X3 overplays the passing lane, O3 faces dribbler O1 and holds an open stance as O1 dribbles to the wing. O3 takes a hard step towards O1 with outside foot and then makes a quick back cut to the basket pushing off with outside foot. |
Continuity: If/When O1 does not feed O3 on back cut, O3 continues out to opposite wing. O4 cuts to the basket off O5's weakside screen. O1 looks to feed O3 or makes a reversal pass out to O2. |
Back Door Entry:
Back Cut: Weakside wing O4 flashes to middle for pass from O1. O2 steps defender down and back cuts to basket. O4 looks to feed O2 on back cut. Note: O1 has option of passing directly to O2 using an over the top lob pass. |
Lob Pass: If/when defender X4 denies O4's flash cut, O4 back cuts to the basket looking for a lob pass from O1. |
