The final option is for the reversal from the elbow to the weak side lane runner at the basket the weak side lane runner once they see the ball is passed away from them should angle their run to the basket at the edge of the backboard. Both defensive players will be in motion and both will be moving away from this position resulting in an increased amount of time for the shot to be taken. On the reversal back to the middle lane runner the set shot from this position becomes the secondary scoring option providing following the pass to the wing the middle lane runner moves to the strong side elbow this will result in a high percentage open shot. This is because as a result of the defensive player’s lack of movement the offensive player will still be able to create a good angle with the use of the backboard to make the lay-up. A further read for the wing player while in the driving lane is if the basket defender stays in between the edges of the backboard then the lay-up by this player remains the primary scoring option. The wing player who received the ball should be looking to always initiate a strong driving lane to the basket if there is a direct line to the basket with no defender in it then the lay-up is the primary scoring option. The side the ball should be passed to will be determined by the defence if the basket player is overplaying one side then the pass should be made away from this side to increase the length of the defensive players close-out. The ball should be moved to the middle lane runner so the ball can be passed in either direction the more confident your middle lane runner becomes while dribbling the ball the more detailed reads this player will be able to make.
