The coach passes to 1 and calls three: X3 turns and sprints to touch the baseline while the other four sprint back, X1 for the ball and X2 for the rim. The offense pushes the instant 1 catches, because the advantage lasts exactly as long as X3's trip to the line.
X1 gets to the free-throw line and stops the ball; X2 is at the rim, and X4 and X5 drop to the ball side so a help side exists, because four defenders who spread out evenly against five guard nobody. X3 has touched and is sprinting back. The wings fill, 4 posts, 5 trails.
1 passes to 3 on the right wing. X5 closes out with his inside foot high to take away the baseline, X4 slides to the help spot, and X3 fills the weak side as he arrives, which is why the trailer's eyes are on the open floor and not on the nearest attacker.
3 attacks, and with the baseline taken away he has to go middle, where X1 is waiting to help off the ball at the nail; X2 stays home at the rim, because no baseline drives and no layups are the two rules that do not bend in a 5-on-4.
3 pulls up over two defenders inside the twelve seconds. X3 is back, so whatever happens, make, rebound, or steal, both teams go 5-on-5 the other way for one possession, because the drill is about getting back to even numbers, not surviving the deficit.
