The sideline box with 9 seconds left and the game needing a post score: 3 inbounding, 1 at the ball-side elbow, 5 the best post at the weak elbow, 2 on the ball-side block, 4 on the weak block. Why the post starts at the elbow: the cross screen comes later, and a post who starts low is one the defense fronts from the start.
On the handoff, 1 and 5 down-screen 2 and 4; 2 pops to the ball-side wing for the entry and 4 pops to the top. Why the entry is the ordinary one: the defense has to see a normal sideline play, and the post score comes after the swing.
2 pops off 1's screen to the wing and 4 pops off 5's to the top. Why 4 goes to the top: the swing goes through him, and the swing is what moves the help.
3 inbounds to 2 on the wing and 2 swings it to 4 at the top as 3 steps in to the ball-side corner. Why the swing: the post defender leans with the ball, and a ball at the top leaves him square and screenable.
2 swings the ball to 4 at the top and 3 steps in to the corner. Why the ball is at the top now: the cross screen is set with the ball there, and the entry comes back to the wing a count later.
1 steps across and sets a diagonal cross-screen on X5 as 5 waits on the weak block. The read is X5: he fights over the top of the screen. Why the diagonal: it sends the post to the ball-side block with the screener finishing at the elbow, where the help would come from.
5 cuts off the cross screen to the ball-side block and seals X5 high on his back, and 1 fills the ball-side elbow as the shooting spot. Why 1 fills the elbow: the help on a post catch comes from the elbow, and a shooter standing there keeps it home.
4 passes to 2 on the wing and 2 enters the ball to 5 on the seal; 5 catches with X5 on his back and no weak-side help. Why the entry comes from the wing: Hoop Coach's post iso puts the entry on the side the seal faces, with the screener at the elbow.
2 enters to 5 on the block. Why the pass is a bounce pass to the baseline hand: the defender is sealed high, and the ball arrives on the side he is not.
5 drop-steps baseline and scores. Score. Why this is the play when a post score is needed: the swing, the cross screen, and the elbow fill take away the three ways a defense stops a post catch.
Next trip, the adjustment: the defense doubles the post on the catch, X1 dropping from the elbow onto 5 the moment the ball goes in. Reset to the box, 3 inbounding. Why the double: it is the only answer to a seal with no weak-side help, and it leaves the elbow.
3 takes the ball out of bounds at the free-throw line extended and 5 returns to the weak elbow; the box is set with X1 already a step off 1, leaning to the post. Why the defense shows it: a doubler starts closer to the post than his man.
The same entry, swing, and cross screen: 5 seals on the block and 1 fills the elbow, and this time X1 is already leaning off 1 toward the post. The read for the counter: the elbow defender is going to double. Why it is visible: a doubler leaves his man a step early to arrive with the catch.
3 inbounds to 2 on the wing and 2 enters to 5 on the seal; X1 leaves 1 and doubles the post. Why the entry still goes in: Coach's Clipboard's Chicago is a two-man game, and the double is what makes it one.
2 enters to 5 and X1 arrives on the double; 5 catches and holds the ball high without a dribble. Why no dribble: a dribble against a double is a strip, and the ball is already where the pass out needs it.
The counter: 5 kicks the ball out to 1 at the elbow, the man the double left, and 1 shoots the elbow jumper. Why the elbow: the doubler came from there, and the shooter who filled it was placed there for this.
1 shoots the elbow jumper. Score. Why the post play and its counter are one call: the defense can play the seal straight and give up the post, or double it and give up the elbow.
