2-1-2 Basketball Offense Animation

This is a simple man-to-man offense that can be very effective if you have a talented, athletic O4 who can make the shot from the free-throw line area, and can also dribble-drive 1-on-1. Having good corner shooters makes it even more difficult to defend. This offense spreads the floor with good floor balance, and you can run a lot of options. It is somewhat similar to the 4-out "High" offense.

You can use your high post player O4 as either a scorer or a screener. In diagram A, the ball is passed to O4 from the top. When the ball is at the top, there usually is no helpside defense as the X2 and X5 defenders may be wide from the basket. O4 can shoot the shot from the free-throw line, or make a 1-on-1 dribble move to the hoop. If either the X2 or X5 defender slide in to help, O4 kicks the ball out to the short corner or corner (where the help defense came from), for a wide-open shot.
