How it works

Ram Action: 1 at the top, 2 on the left wing, 4 and 5 on the blocks, 3 in the right corner. 2 screens 4's defender first: the ram screen.

  1. 1 at the top, 2 on the left wing, 4 and 5 on the blocks, 3 in the right corner.
  2. 2 screens 4's defender first: the ram screen.
  3. 4 sprints up and sets the ball screen while his man is still stuck.
  4. 1 attacks off the screen and hits 4 on the roll.
  5. Help comes from 5's defender: dump it off to the weak-side big.

Coaching tips

The ram screen must hit 4's defender, not the air. 4 sprints into the ball screen so his man can't recover.
