• One of the main keys to attacking a pressure halfcourt defense is having a way to alleviate pressure within the flow of your offense.
• This is where the flash to blind handoff comes into play and is a great building action as well with the flash man having a live dribble and allowing opportunities for players off the ball to get into splits/reverse splits.
• Most of these teams do this out of some type of 4-out spacing, if you play 5 out try utilizing your flash man as the player furthest away from the ball and taking away that opposite low man from help to open up more opportunities for uncontested layups cutting off it.
