2. 2They hand the ball off tightly, then screen the receiver's defender.
3. 3The receiver comes off the hand-off going downhill.
4. 4Receiver attacks the rim or shoots off the DHO.

Coaching points

• Hand the ball, don't throw it — tight and secure.
• The hand-off doubles as a screen — get in the way.
• Receiver: come off tight and attack immediately.
