Setting Up in 1-4 High
Start in a 1-4 high formation, but put both posts on the wings rather than the elbows. Your best shooter is the one inbounding the ball, and your posts need to be capable of making a strong, accurate skip pass.
The First Skip
One post sprints to the strong-side corner while a guard sprints to the strong-side short corner at the same time, and the inbounder enters the ball to the corner. A guard can screen in on the top zone defender to make the coming skip pass safer, and then the corner post fires a skip pass all the way across to the post on the far wing.
The Double Flare
As the skip pass travels, the screener spaces up to the top of the key. The guard who set up the first skip now sprints up to flare-screen the top zone defender, while the post in the strong-side corner simultaneously screens in on the bottom wing defender — two screens landing at once, both away from where the ball is about to go.
The inbounder, completely out of the zone's sightline behind those two screens, sprints behind the bottom wing defender and arrives on the wing just as the second skip pass gets there for an open three.
Coaching Points
The timing of the two flare screens is everything — they need to land at almost the exact moment the second skip pass is released, or the defense sees it developing too early.
Either post can also use a simple dribble to make his own skip pass easier and safer if the direct pass isn't there.
If either wing defender fights over the top of a flare screen, that screener can slip it and show himself for an easier pass instead.
