Princeton Offence
The Princeton Offense starts in a 2-2-1 formation.
Two players at the top of the key in the slot positions (1 and 4).
One player on each wing (2 and 3).
And a player in the low post on ball-side (5).
LOW Post
Option 1: Low Post Pass
If the pass can be made into the low post and they have an advantage inside, the first option is for (5) to post up one-on-one and look to score.
After feeding the post, (3) screens for (4) at the ball-side elbow area.
It's important that neither player rushes this screen. Both players should slow down and read the positioning of the defenders before cutting.
If the defender plays tight and attempts to fight over the screen, (4) can go backdoor and look for a quick pass from (5) and an open layup at the front of the rim.
If the defender is loose and gets caught on the screen, (4) should use the screen a cut out to the wing for an open mid range or three-point shot.
Whichever cut (4) decides to make, (3) will always do the opposite.
