Flex Horns Entry

Court: Half court
Length: 8 steps

About this play

Start in Horns and arrive in Flex spots with the first action already run. The elbow entry hides the flex cut: defenders watch the ball go to the elbow while 1 walks down the lane to set the baseline screen for the weak corner. Flip Saunders and the modern Horns Flex sets run this same screen-the-screener out of the elbow. Basketball Coaches Academy's Horns Flex video and Breakthrough Basketball's flex entry plays are where this came from; will take you deeper if you want the other 1-4 high entries.
