    Four Across Press Breaker

    COACH PHILLIP PETERS


    PLAYER POSITIONS

    #1 POINT GUARD Carol, Kuziva and Nyasha


    #2 SHOOTING GUARD Anesu, Thopolo
    #3 SMALL FORWARD Rukudzo, Kudzai, Joylene
    #4 POWER FORWARD Noreen, Kun Kun, Hazel
    #5 CENTRE Kudakwashe, Nadia

    Here is one way to beat the full-court press.

    Option 1
    #3 fakes in and then cuts long. #2 and #4 set a double screen for #1. #1 runs her
    defender into the screen and cuts thru the lane to the opposite elbow and receives the
    in-bounds pass. Meanwhile, after screening, #2 slides down into the weak-side short
    corner as another in-bounds pass option. #4 releases to the weak-side half court. After
    your point guard (#1) receives the in-bounds pass, she dribbles up the floor, looking to
    pass to either #3 or #4.
    Option 2
    #5 can run the baseline and the in-bounds pass goes to #2. #2 looks to pass to #1 or #4.

    Option 3
    #4 comes back to the top of the key to receive the in-bounds pass. #4 looks for #2 and
    #1 cutting, or #3 long.

    "Four Fly"
    This is a set play for when we only have a few seconds left on the clock. This time #1
    cuts over the top of the double screen. As soon as #1 rubs shoulders with #4, #2 takes
    off on a "fly pattern" for the long pass from #5. #3 should be moving up the floor as well
    and could receive the pass from #2. #5 should make sure that he has a clear pass and is
    not blocked out by being directly under the backboard.
    Simplified Version of the 4-Across Press Breaker
    Oftentimes in basketball it is best to keep things as simple as possible. The above 4-
    across press breaker will require some practice time. Below is a simplified 4-across
    press breaker.

    The #1 and #2 line up on the inside and #3 and #4 are along the sidelines. Instead of a
    double screen, #2 sets a screen for #1 who receives the in-bounds pass from #5.
    Meanwhile, #3 and #4 make a fake cut toward the ball and then break up the sidelines
    toward half-court. After #1 receives the pass, she turns up the floor with just a couple
    quick dribbles and can probably pass to either #3 or #4 up the sidelines. If #3 and #4 are
    covered on the sidelines, then #1 can probably just dribble straight up the middle. If the
    defense collapses on her, then #3 or #4 should be open.

    If #1 is unable to get the in-bounds pass, then #2 should be open to receive it and also
    attack the middle with the dribble, while looking for the pass to #3 or #4.

    Here's another adjustment. If the defense is denying the sideline and the middle looks
    open, we will use this scheme. #5 is the in-bounder and #1 and #2 screen and cut for the
    ball, same as above. This time, #3 fakes going long up the sideline, and then cuts back
    hard to the middle. #4 goes long. After #1 or #2 receive the inbounds pass, they look for
    #3 open in the middle and cut up the sidelines looking for the pass back. If #3 is denied
    the pass, #1 or #2 can pass back to #5 who is used as the "reverse" person who can
    then pass up the opposite side or middle (usually one of the other is open). See the
    diagram below.
    We will use this simple press break to also attack the 2-2-1 zone press, where the
    defense is denying the sideline pass...

    Another Version of the 4-Across Press Break


    See the diagrams below. This time #3 is the in-bounder, your two best ball-handlers
    line-up on both sides of the free-throw line, #4 is at ball-side sideline, and #5 is at weak-
    side sideline. #4 fakes long and v-cuts back hard to receive the inbounds pass. #1 and
    #2 fake a cut toward the in-bounder #3. #1 then cuts hard up the middle looking for the
    pass from #4. #2 is your second cutter delaying her cut until #1 clears, and then looks
    for the pass from #4. If both #1 and #2 are denied the pass, then #4 can pass back to
    #3 moving inbounds and #2 can move to the weak-side for ball reversal from #3. #5
    breaks long and may occasionally be able to receive the “home run" pass.
