Yankee
Purpose
Frees 2 for a corner jumper.
Drill Setup
1 is at the top, 2 and 3 on the wings, 4 and 5 are the double low post.
How It Works
- 1 passes to 2 who passes to the corner to 5.
- 2 cuts to the basket and 1 moves to the wing to 2’s old position.
- 5 passes to 1. Then 5 moves forward and screens for 2.
- 2 cuts off the screen to the corner. He receives the pass from 1 and shoots.

2 runs off a pick from 5 to get open for the corner jumper.
Coaching Tips
This is a nice little side action that can clear a good shooter for an open look.
2 shouldn’t go too deep on his basket cut – he should stop at the block.
