Pass and Screen Away — Motion Offense Rule
A continuity motion rule, not a fixed set: the passer screens for a teammate on the opposite side of the floor, repeated from any two spots until it creates an opening.
Reads & options
- 1. If O5's defender fights over the screen, O5 curls directly to the rim instead of popping to the slot.
- 2. O3 replacing to the top keeps the offense balanced for a reversal back across the floor.
- 3. Any pass-and-screen-away pairing works — this is a rule, not a fixed play, so run it from any two spots on the floor.
Coaching points
- · This is a motion rule, not a single set — the same pass-and-screen-away action should repeat continuously from different spots on the floor.
- · Screeners must screen the defender, not a spot, reading where the help is coming from.
- · Cutters should set up their cut with a hard fake in the opposite direction first.

Flex Offense
A continuity offense built on a baseline screen (the 'flex cut') paired with a down screen for the screener, designed to spring one of the two post players open on every possession.
Zipper Cut
A baseline-to-top cutting action where a player sprints up the lane line off a screen near the free-throw line, springing a designated shooter for a catch-and-shoot look.
Princeton Backdoor Cut
A high-post entry pass paired with a backdoor cut — the signature read of the Princeton offense, punishing a defender who denies or overplays the wing pass.
