Set-up this play with a double stack. Have your two post players position themselves on the low blocks. Have your two best outside shooting guards stack on each side right behind the post players (see Diagram A).
O1 and O2 make V-cuts toward the paint, and then cut to the corners for the possible pass and three-point shot. If O2 does not receive the pass, he/she cuts out on top as our safety. If O2 gets the pass, then O1 moves out on top.
The post player nearest the ball (O4) sets a screen for the opposite post player (O5), who cuts across the lane for the pass and power lay-up (Diagram B).
O4 seals, or "pins" the X5 defender to establish inside position. If the defense switches the screen, then O4 should be open for the pass and lay-up (Diagram C).
