-SH plays the ball to the (P)laymaker
-S(triker) runs a hard line close to the hip of the P and will either get the ball and Punch or just run through
-T(rail) runs a wider run out towards the side of S and is ready to receive a long pass
-PM must make the decision of who to pass to based on how the defense is positioned

-If D is spaced out, it would be wise for PM to give ball to S for a punch
