Flex Dribble Entry

Court: Half court
Length: 9 steps

About this play

The pressure release when the guard-to-guard pass is denied. Instead of forcing the reversal, 1 dribbles at the corner, the corner player loops up to the vacated slot, and the pass back to him becomes the reversal that triggers the flex cut. Punishes ball pressure and denial at the top. I picked this up from Coach's Clipboard's Flex offense page, which covers every entry for when the passes are denied; will take you deeper.
