Now
we are truly in the "triangle" (shown in blue). In this case the
pass goes to the post, but it may go to the corner as well. Note
that the post can pass to the weak side if those defenders collapse
in the key. The passing lanes are shown by the green dotted lines.

Once
the pass is made, it is timed to cut to the basket. If the players
pass, then stand, nothing happens, so move! Here the wing passes
to the post, cuts to the basket and then to the opposite corner.
Immediately following the wing's cut, the corner player goes
baseline, then up around the post. This is one of the easiest
handoffs. The cutter can shoot off the post or drive. If he
doesn't get the ball, he should get all the way back to the
corner.

The
post should fake a pass to every cutter. The cutters should
always be ready to receive the ball on every cut. Be sure to
lead the cutter with the pass. If the cutter has to reach back
or down to get the ball, the shot will be more difficult.
After
the second cut, the post can pivot to the basket. At this point,
he should be isolated with his defender.
